Haters Of John Mikel Obi, Hear This! by Nobody: 2:31pm On Dec 23, 2014 |
All u critics of one of the best african football in europe, Read dis! Chelsea boss sings praise for John Obi Mikel Jose Mourinho believes Nigerian can become Blues' best player Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, believes John Obi Mikel can become the club's best player due to his attitude on the training pitch. The Nigerian struggles to get regular first-team football at Stamford Bridge due to serious competition in the middle of the park, but after filling in for the suspended Nemanja Matic, Mourinho believes the midfielder is one of the club's top players. After playing against Newcastle United, despite the defeat, Mourinho thought Mikel stood out as one of the best performers, and he believes he is proof that if you work hard enough, you can become a top player at the club. "The first time he played [from the start in the Premier League] was Newcastle and he was our best player," Mourinho said of Mikel. "How can he be our best player if he didn’t play in three months? Because he was working every day at the top level. Sad, frustrated, not happy? Maybe. But professional - that’s what I expect from the players. "It’s the concept of helping the team. Everybody has to be ready to sacrifice for the team, to give everything for the team, to think about the team and not to be selfish. This is the way I want a team to be. "The one that comes on in the last five minutes, he’s a crucial player. If he makes a mistake the team loses; if he doesn’t, the team wins. Everybody wins, everybody loses. "I want a short squad. In a short squad, everybody is important. I need every player. And when I sign a player, I don't say 'it's you plus 10'. I say 'it's you plus 21 or 22'. "You have to know the squad is good at Chelsea. If you’re at a Chelsea as a goalkeeper, you can’t imagine that you’re the only good goalkeeper. It’s the same for the strikers. For me, all of this is very normal." Written by Alex Batt - @AlexBatt - @AlexsArticles http://sillyseason.com/football/premier-league/chelsea-fc/chelsea-sings-praise-john-obi-mikel 1 Like 1 Share |

In essence, what are you trying to say? John Mikel Obi is just a squad player for Chelsea. He still isn't holding down a starting spot. You act like you don't know Mourinho. He plays a mind game and you're falling for it? The mind game isn't even for you, but for John Mikel Obi. Stop Celebrating. |

Am a chelsea fan. Jose is very trckish |

Jose just want to build up his confidence Knowing that Chelsea still has there eyes on Khadeira or Paul Pugba means that his days are number but he has a long contract thats why they are finding it hard to get rid off |

Mikel was actually the best player on the pitch for Chelsea against Newcastle. That tells a lot. Especially, after not having a steady run of games and not playing in his favored position. |

thegoodjoehunt3: He played because Matic was suspended and they still lost. and what is his favoured position you were refering to? |

naijanoni: Oscar is injured, just coming back, Cesc has moved to the #10 role, Mourinho is not too keen about Ramires anymore. If Mikel / Matic prove to be a solid partnership then Jose will stick to it. |

babyboy3:Mikel flourishes when he has a defensive midfielder behind him. He expresses himself more and takes more risks with the ball. Look at his last games with Hope Akpan behind him for the Super Eagles. He was amazing. |

Mikel Obi is a good player any time any where.....he may not be a high scoring midfielder but he is good player who plays to coaches instruction on the pitch. For Mikel to played under 8-9 coaches since he joined shows how good he is! Take it or leave it, Mikel is a good player 1 Like |
