As they arrived in the mixed zone in NANTES' La Beaujoire stadium after match 10 SPAIN-NIGERIA, (Group D), Nigerian journalists celebrated the victory of their national team by singing "Obi Kevereke Obi" (a traditional warrior song) and dancing: causing SPAIN's coach, Javier CLEMENTE – arriving at the same moment to make his first post-match statement – to turn back to the changing rooms. Nigerian journalists called him back, promising to keep silent.
