Former Barcelona and Arsenal star midfielder Alex Song has praised the performance of little known Nigerian midfielder Kingsley Ndidi Olie in Rubin Kazan’s 1-0 win over Mjondalen.
Ahead of the start of the Russian league, Rubin Kazan, where Alex Song plays took on Norway’s second division side Mjondalen in a friendly tie meant to prepare both teams for stiffer challenge.
Song was up against the Nigerian and despite ending up on the winning side, the Cameroon star appreciated the performance of the 22 year old Olie, who only moved to the Norwegian side last year.
Olie was later called for a snap shot with Song, who advised him to focus on his career and make the best use of his potential, which will help him secure a move to a top club.
