Nabi thought the 31-year-old was incredible but not just against the Chilli Boys but his overall improvement but also noted that the Chiefs number 13 can still get better in his finishing he’s a team player that wins favourable decisions for the side and poses a threat in attack while also not neglecting defensive duties.
“Mmodi what he does on the field is incredible, it’s incredible,” said Nabi in his post-match presser.
“Sometimes maybe you look at one or two opportunities that he has missed, but he’s a winger his first attribute is to score goals, maybe he should have scored some easy opportunities that he got. But for me, he was the best player on the field.
“He’s a player that works consistently. He’s a player that poses a threat on his direct opponent all the time. Maybe you will see that all the set pieces or free kicks that he got for us. Even when we are defending, he’s a player that tracks back all the time. He works for the team.
