Mikel is a better player than Matic, especially if he is used as a Pivot. Mourinho never saw Mikel as a better player than Matic. That is why he chose Matic over Mikel. Sir Alex saw raw Gold in Mikel and fought hard to keep him at Man Utd. That is the difference.

Tomtoxic:

Mikel is a quality defensive midfielder by world standard.Mikel being better than matic bros na ur imagination b that abi na only this season u start to dey watch Chelsea match?

The Nigerian National U17 team achieved a historic thing. The won the U17 back to back for the first time in the history of the competition.

I think this is a beginning of something new and there is one person who showed tremendous belief in not just this U17 team but Nigerian Football.

TheSuperNerd.

I see this victory as a personal victory of him and he rekindled my faith in Nigerian football. He was someone I knew that wholeheartedly believed these guys will succeed and he genuinely expects more victory.

I now share your faith honestly and I believe PELE's words that one day an African team will win the World Cup.

I hope is us and I hope it is soon.

A personal congrats to you my friend.

Yes mikel is being better and talented than matic but matic is more hard working than mikel. @Op who be that Oyinbo for our coaching crew, shey nah back room staff? I like his shoki move

Tomtoxic:

Mikel is more talented no doubt but when u're not hardworking in the pitch your output tends to be low your output on the field determines how good u are bro MATIC is better

thegoodjoehunt3:


I was among those who pointed out a lot of weaknesses in Matic's game. That was two seasons ago. When Chelsea signed Matic, they were above Liverpool and the Citizens were first. Later Chelsea reached the top of the table.

They fell from that position and finished behind Man City and Liverpool.

I pointed out most especially the game Crystal Palace beat Chelsea. They walked through the Chelsea midfield like knife through butter.

In two games in particular, you can see Mourinho pull out Mikel and immediately, you see Chelsea crumble. Matic can not have that effect.

This season, Mourinho brought Matic from the bench in a game and took him off in less than ten minutes. That can not haplen to OBI my man.

The way Mikel handled the Spanish National team at the World Club Cup, Matic can never do that in his life time.

So does this look like this season's talk?

thegoodjoehunt3:


How hard working on the pitch is Sergio Busquets. Does that make his contribution low? Busquets is one of the best, if not the best defensive midfielder of this footballing generation.

What matters is your impact on the team and the way Chelsea crumbled when Mikel leaves the pitch tells a lot of how important he is.

Tomtoxic:

now sit down carefully clear ur mind and ask urself this question does Barcelona style of play require a hardworking DM
then 2nd question : who is more hardworking busquet vs Mikel

Tomtoxic:

funny
so Chelsea being top and later falling behind to Liverpool and city is matics fault right? no matter how hard u try u won't find fault on matics side our failure that season was d fault of TORRES AND ETO.
if u can blame matic for this then u must surely blame Mikel for Chelsea not qualifying for the UCL and having to use the "defending champions" card to qualify
mourinho pulling off Mikel and Chelsea crumbled all happened this season na even matic being pulled off early happened this season purely because he is in bad form presently all Chelsea first team players are all in bad form so this season cannot be used as a yardstick.
Mikel vs Spain? when last did he match such a performance in a blue shirt even the match he was paired with loftus cheek dis season I think it was an fa cup against a lower division team loftus cheek did better
Mikel and matic can't be compared oh MATIC is head and shoulders above our brother take note

Sorry. Thanks for the correction. For an African side to win it back to back.

Has any other African country won it at all apart from Ghana?

Awoniyi Tips Eaglets For 5th Title, Praises “Future Strike Partner” Osimhen
[/size]

By Izuchukwu Okosi:
Former Golden Eaglets starlet Taiwo Awoniyi is confident the Nigerian U-17 side will defeat Mali and lift the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup title in Chile on Sunday night.

Awoniyi who was one of the heroes of Nigeria’s triumph in the United Arab Emirates in 2013 when the Eaglets won the U-17 World Cup for the fourth time spoke exclusively to Comple tesportsnigeria.com on the final of the competition in the South American country.

“Being in the final of any tournament is not an easy feat. I want to thank ‘father’ Emmanuel Amuneke for doing a good job,” Awoniyi, who is at 2 Bundesliga (German second division) club FSV Frankfurt on loan from Liverpool, told Comple tesportsnigeria.com.

“He was instrumental in our winning the World Cup two years ago as one of the assistant coaches and now he has done a good job with this team. I pray they defend the title.

“They are a very good team and I know they can handle the challenges that Mali will pose.”
Speaking of the goal-scoring instincts of Golden Eaglets striker and leading scorer at Chile 2015, Victor Osimhen, who has scored nine times in six games, Awoniyi who himself scored four goals in the UAE revealed to Comple tesportsnigeria.com what messages he has received about their striking abilities.

“Victor and I are very similar in playing style. We also have the same physical attributes. I have received so many text messages from people who commend us.

They say we can be strike partners in future for Nigeria. There is not much difference between us. I hope he scores again in the final,” Awoniyi added.

The Nigeria versus Mali final will kick off 11pm Nigerian time Sunday night.
