A TRIBUTE TO MIKEL
OUR STAR GOES EAST
On that day, so many years ago, at an under aged competition against Argentina
You stood like a sturdy backbone in the center of the Nigerian squad. With mercurial skills and unrivaled strength, you checked the forays of youthful Lionel Messi and limited his exploits on the pitch. When the chickens came home to roost, Messi took the golden boot and you the silver. That was when some of us ever heard your name. Then we tracked your fame and pitched our camp wherever you played. Till you chose Blue over the red, just because you came from above. Your sublime skills upped the ante at Stamford Bridge, You under studied legends and took their place since no colossus bestrides the earth with eternal steps. You dazzled at the bridge with sublime skills, not a trophy remained for you to win. You conquered Europe and even at home, the name Mikel sent shivers down opponents heart.
When Conte came it was time to leave, not because you were lacking in skill but every commander has his preferred battle guards and so the east beckoned with mouth watering allure.
We at the blues wish you well, there goes a star whence come another? Wherever you go we will ever chant your name. For you have carved a place deep within our hearts.

Chelshit... He is a Nigerian, but N'golo is better in his position.

Let's appreciate our own.

Lol. Star indeed. I hope the Chelsea board name a bench after him.
