  • Former Chelsea and Nigeria midfielder Jon Obi Mikel lifts the lid on a glorious decade at Stamford Bridge, in which he won all of the game's major domestic prizes and played under a raft of managers, from Mourinho to Di Matteo. Jon Obi does not hold back with some brilliant tales from the Chelsea dressing room, including the time Mourinho made Mo Salah cry and why nobody could stand Rafa Benitez!

      You hit it on the head. Mikel was ahead of his time. Nowadays fans appreciate & value Rodri, Enzo, Rice, type of midfielders much more today than when Mikel was in his prime. Back then Chelsea fans criticized him for keeping it simple & retaining possession.

    My coach always said when a player gets an excessive amount of injuires it's mainly due to them not looking after themsleves or training well. It doesnt suprise me when it comes to Eden Hazard. If you don't train hard enough, the body eventually wears out. He's paying the price at Madrid for not looking after himself.

    This is possibly the best podcast episode I've ever watched, Mikel was not holding anything back, I've learned more about how football clubs are like on the inside from this video than anything I've ever seen before, I so wish this was a 2, 3, 4 even 5 hour video, I'd still watch every second of it.

You sacrifice your place in Chelsea because of the National call. That was something few people can do. No wonder God blesses you so richly at Chelsea. You can never be forgotten in Chelsea and Nigerian football history. It pained me that you did not win African best that year. You were indeed robbed. God knows best! We love you, Mikel!
    Great interview. Please bring him back soon.

      Nope. Give young players playing time. That's the lesson. You give them time without playing time it's useless. And those young player can't start at chelsea team back then, at highest level you need reliable players, managers gonna be hard to start those younster when their job on the line.
