No, it put Chelsea team in problem. Na so so guard, gaurd him come dey gaurd. Even to release ball to him team mate come become problem. Na bench dem come dey bench am. Baba no even worry because of the pay.

IyfeNamikaze:


At what age did Xavi retire? Zidane retired at 34, Cabtona at 31. Players like Emmanuel Petit, Alan shearer, Patrick Kluivert, all retired at an early age.
Do you think they were lying about their age?
Not everyone has the natural fitness to play as long as Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic Giggs and Maldini.
Stop spewing nonsense on social media

Na their real ages be that.
Mikel cannot be 35 years.

Abdul4trust1:

Mikel was superb during his days at Chelsea but he always flopped during matches for the national team

Anyways congratulations.

National team coaches doesn't know how to use him. A defensive midfielder given the role of a number 10

You are right on that again. But no else could play that role except him.

Mikel stayed on sub for over 8 years in Chelsea just like Phil Jones of Man Utd.
All Mikel achievements came without him playing at all.
At least he is the most decorated Nigeria player

Mikel retired at 45 not 35 oooh
Mikel is closer to 50 years

Kalou tiring pidgin

This shows Peter obi will retire from politics,and become evangelist obi by 2023

Every human being's body is different. That modric, Ronaldo and Messi are still playing says nothing about Mikel.
People retire early for different reasons. Some because of physical injuries ( van basten, agger), some because of mental health challenges and others for family reasons.
Casting aspersions on a person's character without evidence is a shitty thing to do

Not even a Chelsea fan but I love Mikel like mad because of his prowess on the field of play. Hate or like him, he was a genius during his time.

Try and explain that to your family members, and please make sure they are as half as successful as Mikel Obi.

SIMONEKPA7:
African players with fake age.... His supposed mate like Ronaldo and Mercy are still playing

Sometimes some of you talk like people who lack mental reasoning, so because he is African he can't retire again when he wants to, what about other players who retired even before 30?

Eagle07:


Mikel was superb during his days at Chelsea but he always flopped during matches for the national team.

Anyways congratulations.

U no sabi Watch Ball.
