He doesn’t know when to stop talking tho

He made chealse so popular in Africa, especially in Nigeria

Mourinho built chelsea's dna,he created winners and when he left most of his players were still there winning because built characters at chelsea

Wow thanks for all the positive comments guys. John Obi Mikel is easily one of the best guests we’ve ever had on the show. And he lives in Dubai now, so he’ll be back on again soon!

So True.....such an insightful interview...He laid it all out!! ..LOL

Honestly Micheal Essien was my favourite player at Chelsea...l dont remember him having a bad game...so underrated...Obi Mikel won 11 trophies in 10 years at Chelsea...who can regret that...each year he had a trophy...

Essien was a beast

A perfect definition of a team player. The reason why I am Chelsea fan today

Watching this after we just lost 1 - 0 against Southampton. What a difference in mentality. Hoping we get it back some day...

As a Nigerian supporting Arsenal I always secretly wished Chelsea well because of Mikel. He was such a wonderful player to watch both at Chelsea and the National team. I wish him the very best

This is the Chelsea’s DNA. Big team players now we have boyscouts

Beautiful interview. Haven't seen Mikel this animated,. Thank you for the memories and making Nigeria proud. We love you Mikel.

I love Obi Mikel ! Criminally underrated

Top Man Obi Mikel. Always loved him in Blue now we get the authentic person.

We need a whole series with Mikel. That was pure joy and entertainment.

That squad had the Nigeria, Ivory Coast, England, Ukraine, Czech and German captains. Of course it was brimming with character

A squad of men. Big boyz

I liked Obi's attitude towards playing Big Teams. He was always classic in the midfield

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.

That season changed my life . My Chelsea predictions from quarter finals got me on radio and changed my life forever

Jon Obi is beautiful…. Absolutely amazing human being

He needs to come back to tell us the story of how he played a world cup/ AFCON match for Nigeria after speaking with kidnappers who were with his Dad, and he didn't show any worry while playing.

Mikel and Essien were beasts at chelsea

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.

John Obi Mikel our own Zidane! Thanks for the memories Mikel!

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.

Good to see this dude again...havent kept up with his life since long ago..brings back alot of memories as a chelsea fun..its funny that John Obi Mikel and Messi once played in one heated youth world cup and even though Messi won i think in penalties, that's when the World learned who is Mikel a because he was like the Man of the tournament,and from there the rest is history...glad to see him still going strong and always smiling..

One of the best football interviews I have watched in a long time. It was a very honest conversation and what Mikel said about so many Africans becoming Chelsea fans because of him is the truth. Most of my friends who became serious Chelsea fans became fans because of John Obi Mikel. The hosts did a very nice job, asking difficult questions while making your guest feel at home. Love you guys.

Very true I know a lot of people who became Chelsea fans because of him

I remember the two years Jon Obi played for Lyn in Oslo. He absolutely wrecked havoc in our league, and he was only a kid. Amazing talent!

As a Manchester united fan I adore Jon Obi Mikel what a player!

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! This is indeed one of the greatest interviews have heard in the history of Nigerian players. His analysis is simply pure and genuine. I appreciate your love for your country. 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.

My legend. My favorite Chelsea player of all time. So underrated

Legend, was privileged to see him the day after this interview in Dubai, I asked for a pic and he agreed, such a humble guy.Thank you Mikel.

John Obi❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's always a pleasure listening to Mikel. Can Mikel come on as a sports analyst? We definitely need to see and hear more of this guy!

Classy guy, class player, crazy how underrated he is and was 💙💙💙💙💙💙

Mikel is such a great player,,, a lovely Guy, always have this smiling face 😊💕 the entire Chelsea community love you 🌹💐

What an absolute Chelsea legend he is

Genuinely, one of the most underrated players. What a guy❤

Simply legendary stuff, he went to Chelsea when there was no path and left a trace. Best interview I ever watched

How I wish this clip would be shown to our current players so they could see and learn how to win.

we really love this interview from Nigeria. please interview more Nigeria Players like Victor Moses Osimeh from Napoli. thank u so much.

What makes you think going to another club, another league isn't EXACTLY what made them better players? Maybe being at Chelsea wouldn't make them who they are today.

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.

A Nigerian Legend🇳🇬🙌🏿

I had always loved Chelsea but I started supporting Chelsea fully after they signed Mikel and then I fell in love with the rest of the team and I’ve been a blue with no regrets at all ever since. Thank you legend for being an absolutely amazing player for the blues 💙💙💙

I left Barcelona to support Chelseafc, because of Mikel.

Lovely interview, never seen John this animated. I was sad when he was robbed of the African Player of the year.

Didn’t want this interview to finish. Top top guy

That Chelsea isn't the same today. Sad...Michael Essien, Didier Drogba, Obi Mikel (it used to be hilarious how Obi would still look for someone to pass the ball to score even if he was left with the goalkeeper! But great midfielder), Peter Cech, Lampard, Eden Hazard,,,man!

God I miss the old Chelsea 💔

Incredible. I never really knew that Obi Mikel speaks. I thought he just sat in the hole making tackles. I never saw him doing much with the spoken word but it turns out he's got quite a lot to say.

John Obi Mikel. Proper Chelsea legend 💯💙👍

He was one of my favourites Chelsea players Obi Mikel. Lovely guy

What a Wonderful🎉 interview...Mikel, I love the way you were been truthful in response to those questions. You win my heart more. You're a GREAT Player🎉

The era that I became a Chelsea supporter . seeing that Chelsea team play was something else 💙

One of the most underrated players of all time!!!! Just loved every bit of it. Hope there is longer one soon . Am true United fan .. felt goosebumps on the pre contract talk with fergie scene Phew… what a moment! And yes we don’t talk about essein a lot. Humble .. a joy .. and great human being job obi mikel!

What a Legend! Thanks for the Memories Mikel 👊🏼🔵

This was an amazing interview with an oft overlooked member of that core Chelsea squad. Definitely need to have him back! Great work with the questions and flow of the interview.

Damn I never wanted it to end. Absolutely brilliant interview. I need more from Jon Mikel Obi In terms of achievements, I believe he's maybe only second to Samuel Eto'o as an African player in the past 20 years. What a player. What a career. Should write a book about his time in football in the next few years

Top notch interview! Mikel is a charismatic individual and interviews extremely well.

One of rhe best interviews out there period And such a humble and respectful guy he is the nigerean legend he was an absolute beast and we did enjoy his talent

Seriously mikel is a living legend cus i realy enjoyed his play at chelsea this man was an engin block
