To put this in perspective, 2005 u20 World Cup, Nigeria lost to Argentina in the final. Messi led that Argentinian team and ultimately was awarded the best player in the tournament. Mikel played 10 for Nigeria and was awarded the the second best player in the tournament behind Messi. Mikel didn’t just give up a position he liked, he was one of the world’s best as a 10. His professionalism and commitment can never be doubted.

I keep seeing a lot of comments across the videos forgetting that Mikel was first team NOT a super sub lol. Across his 372 games for Chelsea he averaged 70 minutes a game. That was across his ENTIRE career at the club, and that would include when he was new to the club, as well as when he was frozen out by lets say Conte etc. Which means that at the peak of his powers in Chelsea, he would have been averaging 85 minutes + a game. The guy is so underrated than people are now forgetting he was actually a pivotal part of the team and not a sub. Crazy.

No es menospreciar a Cristiano, pero jugadores élite, que compiten todos los días y han vivido la experiencia de jugar contra ambos, todos o la gran mayoría reconocen que el esquema es pararlo a él a como dé lugar y siempre en bloque, jamás 1 vs 1 porque no existe manera de pararlo y durante tanto tiempo.

Not saying messi isn't great but his assessment was based on the fact messi played around him.

Great interview. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Good to know that ex-Nigerian player, Sunday Oliseh, left a big impression on Rio. Respect!

Sometimes with opposition players you only see them on the pitch and don't give them enough respect, as a United fan I always remembered Obi for red cards in big games. Hearing Obi talk is incredible, elite mentality and to play at a big club as long as he did you have to be top class. Great interview and content

Respect to Rio, top man. This is what you call a brilliant and exciting interview to watch. Mikel what a player, loved him at Chelsea 💙 Get Drogba in at this, views would go into its Millions Rio. He’s got stories that will have the whole footballing world talking about for a long time. Do what you got to do to make that happen.

Both of you should definitely do documentary educating young players out there of the limit of money they should be given people back home I don’t want to see enough is enough as a individual so they cannot empty your pocket so I would appreciate if you should lights on this important topic another note this was a fantastic episode with John Obi Mikel what a fantastic career he did have and I wish them the best in his next adventure going into the podcast direction god blessed you 🙏❤️

As a United fan I must confess, Chelsea was a huge success during Roman era, an owner that had interest in football.

He is one of the few owners who didn't care about money more than the club... He didn't care if he had to pay millions to sack a coach who was not performing

Don’t think he had an interest tbh… he bought the club as he needed to get his money out of Russia hence when the last few year they wasn’t spending mega money like at the start he employed good staff at the top and was ruthless with managers and always replaced them with other top managers while maintaining a top squad
