Mikel Obi: ‘Jose Mourinho Killed Me’ by Nairatrend(op): 5:38pm On Mar 25, 2019
Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel, has disclosed that former Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho “killed” him during their time at Premier League giant, Chelsea.

Mikel Obi said Mourinho killed him because he got sent off on his first game for the Blues.

According to him, he was quite slow to the pace expected of him by Mourinho in his early days at Stamford Bridge.

The 31-year-old midfielder spent 11 years at Chelsea, winning the Champions League, two Premier League titles and three FA Cups before joining Chinese side, Tianjin Teda, in 2017.

“Got sent off on my first game. Mourinho killed me. The speed of the game took me a while to understand it,” Mikel told BBC World Service’s Sportsworld.

“I was a very naughty boy. I’ll get up to speed but I was late to trainings many times. I was wearing the wrong dress codes.

“Mourinho was very firm with me because he wanted me to learn and learn very fast because he brought me in.

“With Mourinho, there are no excuses. I was put in a very naughty corner a few times. It took me a while to understand where I am and I had to learn very fast.”

Mikel's best match was vs Bayern in UCL finals 2012.

He was a BEAST that day.. Probably received the power of The black Panther..

Re: Mikel Obi: ‘Jose Mourinho Killed Me’ by Tokziby: 8:57pm On Mar 25, 2019
very misleading headline...

It was a reprimand when he got red card and had to adjust on time.

I remember one of his excuse for coming late to training, he said, his house got flooded cos he left the tap running. He used to turn up to training with his gang of friends.

Mourinho shaped mikel to what he is today(one of the best DM)... Kudos to the then special one

I agree, he coached the flair out of you.

You made a mistake going to Chelsea.

Should have gone to Man Utd.
