Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo says there's great banter amongst the players about the World Cup.
Omeruo revealed manager Jose Mourinho was happy to wind him up before Nigeria's successful World Cup playoff a fortnight ago.
"At Chelsea, we are really focused on the club but sometimes Jose makes fun. In a training session last week, I made a wrong pass. 'If you do that in the World Cup, Nigeria is out!' Jose said. We were laughing. It's quite quiet now about the World Cup between the players but after the draw, it will get noisy," he told the Telegraph. "I talked to Luiz about the World Cup. He speaks good English and he's a really nice guy. Before the last game (the win over Ethiopia), Luiz and the other Brazilians were making fun of us: 'Are you are going to qualify?!' It's nice. When I came back, Luiz said: 'Well done, welcome to Brazil.' They all said nice things."
