Frank Lampard: 'I Never Wanted to Leave - Chelsea Said No to New Deal!' | The Obi One Podcast Ep.2

[@bk-pk7rg]

14 years ago, I watched Chelsea for the first time on television by chance. Chelsea was on the TV that fated evening only because my Korean dad was trying to point out that a football team in London was sponsored by a Korean company, Samsung. I immediately fell in love and slowly, club legends like Drogba and Lamps became my heroes. Fast forward more than a decade, I'm now 20 years old; outside of my family, Chelsea is the one thing I've loved unconditionally and I'm so grateful. Obi, thank you so much for this episode. I'm currently struggling mentally and just to hear the psyche and BTS of my heroes' successes and struggles has genuinely lifted me. Can't wait for the next episodes, keep it up!!!

[@DAW5ON]

[@emmanuelobiwulu4823]

[@cathalmcnally90]

[@tommyfright7926]

Seriously underrated player Mikel. You knew the game was done when Obi came on

[@Bprovo]

Mikel was not a super sub lol.

[@pisstakecentral]

​@@Bprovohe locked it down..

[@fiftysteps]

Mikel just casually dropping one of the best sports podcasts of 2023. Honestly, this is so much like Mikel. Looking forward to more of these!

[@Zainito_]

Unexpected but great. Candid

[@vickransandhu]

Thank you Obi for bringing this content together. Would love to see you interview Eden Hazard at some point.

[@drensindrensin7506]

This comment aged very well

[@Feroze17]

I love this Podcast SOOOOOO much! The chemistry of the Mikel, Chris and of course the guests are perfection. Incredible stories as always. Loved the JT episode and now tuning in for this, keep it up, and UP THE CHELS!! 💙

[@ObiOnePodcast]

Thanks so much!

[@Aflaminglama]

Chris is a great Co-Host, asks challenging questions but remains respectful of our legends, adds a level of professionalism to the pod and allows Obi to relax. Keep these interviews coming and up the chels!

[@cjsterlinganderson6003]

Top tier double pivot If I ever saw one, And this week they have Lampard in the 10.

[@jpdt23]

Super Frank Lampard, true legend!!! #WinningMachine #BlueIsTheColour

[@VaddyFC]

Up the Chels! My favorite player and the best Chelsea player of all time Super Frank Lampard! Thank you for this interview Obi! 🙏 🇳🇬

[@ObiOnePodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tonytr7716]

Obi killing it again... Shout out to CM as well. We all know Didier and Cech are gonna be killer episodes too. Btw Super Frank Forever. One Love. Peace.

[@fredmusisi1015]

Obi , drogba, kalou, Essien , Mendy , victor Moses those African made us proud big up obi Mikel nchekube

[@cfc326]

I'm gonna scream when you get Drogba on. Please get Ballack soon too. love this podcast 💙💙

[@prodbyocean]

Already the best podcast cmon 🏆 what all the Chelsea fans needed

[@MamaToldMe]

Frank Lampard made me fall in love with English football. Love this podcast.

[@YawngBossReacts]

My personal favorite Super Eagles player of all time literally listened to my heart speak, I literally had said to my friends "Obi Mikel should start a podcast after he retires, he has the right profile". I am super glad you listened to my heart Legend. #LondonIsBlue

[@gavinb7761]

What a quality speaker Super Frank is. A great insight into a proper proper player, and shows why today's players will never hit the level of this generation of player. Great Podcast!

[@codemastertalon6439]

Not enough credit is given to Mikel for his motm performance in the UCL final, was phenomenal that day

[@pfeventsorganiser]

After thrashing Spurs last night 4-1 and derailing their season Obi releasing episode 2 with Super Frank caps off a great 24hrs, I really do hope Pochettino makes all the current crop of Chelsea players watch this podcast so they know what it means to play for the Chelsea.

[@sammie3945]

I'd like to hope the current Chelsea players watch this. I hope it's featured on The 5th Stand app eventually too!

[@BRED1996]

I’m a Chelsea fan from Leeds & started supporting the club from young when we had these legends at the club. Frank being my favourite ever player and #8 my number too. Brilliant Podcast Obi, you’ve got it on lockdown much like you did with locking down results in your playing days! 💙 💪

[@ChelseaPerspective]

With the Obi One Podcast, we are reliving Chelsea’s golden era.

[@danielsevern845]

The best and most enjoyable game of football I watched is when we was behind to barca in 1st leg, needed 2 goals and won 4-2 in second leg. End to end football. It was amazing 💙

[@johannesandersson7089]

Obi is a Chelsea Legend! We will never forget you Mikkel ❤️

[@stewiethevissionary]

Great interview. Super Frank , Super Obi legends of the club , the new boys will get there 🙌

[@hillaryremy]

This is presently my number one show on KZbin. Thank you, John Obi Mikel

[@rudebwoy8]

Obi making his mark. I see the media were all over the excerpts from his Terry pod.

[@ayoa.o.9966]

Two huge heavyweights on your first two episodes, that’s huge

[@ObiOnePodcast]

❤

[@vinayak2753]

Absolutely loved it. Loved the JT episode as well. I'm sure other Chelsea fans and football fans in general will be feeling that way. Keep up the amazing work Mikel, bossing it like you did the middle of the pitch.

[@drskbtalex]

Hopefully this isnt missed in the comments but please with all your power try get Roman abramovich on this podcast. We often miss what role a owner plays in success and i would love to hear his personal insight on the way he made decisions and ran the club. Big up to the podcasts.

[@iheanyiigboko]

Thank you Mikel And Chris. I'm a huge fan of this podcast. I totally enjoy the back story and philosophy that drove the Chelsea team of your time, the camaraderie you enjoy with your fellow old boys and the respect you have for each other. Please keep it coming. I look forward to seeing more of the old boys coming on the podcast. I guess we will have an incredible session with Salomon Kalou. Both of you seem to enjoy a lot of friendly banters. I look forward to that. 😅😅😅

[@ifeoluwasanni]

Great job, Mikel! Adding visuals to your podcast would be a great idea to keep the audience interested and engaged with nostalgia. Kudos!

[@Helena_01541]

This is a good comment and this is how people should make comments on the internet. Kudos 👍

[@opioinnocent-n8f]

John Obi Mikel. We love you so much. Legend

[@namprincewill7420]

THIS IS ONE OF DEM' ONES. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

[@emmanuelobiwulu4823]

If Mikel gets Anelka on this podcast, then I know he's won!!!😅

[@minatodroger7890]

Facts if he gets mou on there it's overs

[@miguelito2860]

​@@minatodroger7890it's in the works 👀

[@mebrahtomgebremeskel5307]

Our💙💙💙💙legends.

[@gregwar117]

love the pod Obi. one recommendation, can we get some guests in the studio with you guys for some shows? i think the chemistry will 10x the already fantastic content.

[@elainekerslake6865]

As a long time gooner, i always liked Frank. His dad was immense for the Hammers and i coveted Frank as a gooner. Along with patrick viera......good god almighty.

[@MJ-bk7xw]

So many wonderful memories. Great to hear how the players experienced those moments, and tying that to mine.

[@mattmoult7468]

Dunno who the guy is with obi but he’s a brilliant interviewer. Lampard a hero for 15 years and haven’t heard some of the questions he’s asked. Mikel a legend inal ❤️

[@CesaresChannel]

Lamps is a legend! Great podcast 🎉

[@kirankp1558]

Super frankkkkk❤….. obi doing great job brother… wanna see all legends here !!!!💙💙💙

[@mashrurmuhammed9659]

Would love to see a group podcast with a group of players, would be such a good watch

[@naijamadenurse]

If a player like Eden Hazard could have Frank's mentality, he would have been the next best thing after messi and Ronaldo. One player in the current Chelsea team with Frank's kind of mentality is Mudryk. That kid is going straight to the top, I can feel it in my veins.

[@maziugochukwu6167]

Cole Palmer IMO

[@Zainito_]

Don’t give up misha

[@kingsleyonyedikachi1187]

Mudryk and Lampard in same sentence? No current player comes close in mentality to the reserve players of the 2005 - 2017 era

[@excelking9211]

Wow it's finally here..this podcast is simply Amazing

[@ObiOnePodcast]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@user-rx8no1zt4c]

Mikel looks fresh! Clearly right the investments since retiring

[@hakeemalabi8436]

Thank you Obi for this podcast, am loving ut already 💙💙💙💙

[@mohamedhussein6240]

My fav mid all time💙

[@commentator88]

It's nice to see Chelsea content online. We need to grow our presence because no one outside this club will give us any flowers.

[@RackingJay]

As a Nigerian Arsenal fan, I love the podcast

[@jidenamuslim1212]

Good job and very interesting. Please bring Eden to studio

[@emmanuelobiwulu4823]

Lampard is so intelligent

[@victoromoseh3522]

Mikel one of the main reasons I'm a full Chelsea fan

[@Olaitanjr20]

Everything my mentor do is always on point. I love you Mikel I want to also attain your height in the game

[@LiamsFriendStewie]

Obi calling Lamps old boy makes me feel like they were at war together. And they were tbf. Great players man.

[@roverteam4914]

Kalou, Malouda, Ricardo Carvalho or paulo ferreira (rarely heard from him)... next please 😁😁😁😁 golden era

[@sporteditionpodcast]

When We see players like Lampard, Gerrard, Terry and Roney we just remember PlayStation 1 & 2 FIFA, PES and Winning Eleven!

[@dipoyomi]

I've been a Chelsea fan since '97 and as a Nigerian, this podcast is really my favourite on KZbin at the moment! Shout out to you both; Obi and Chris. I hope King Didier is the next on the podcast. I love the guests you are bringing on the show! I'm elated! UP THE CHELS! 💙🇳🇬

[@lanresadiq4470]

Same here. Since Babayaro signed for the club. As hard as it was to get tv coverage back then, I always looked forward to the highlights and newspapers on Mondays. Those were simpler times lol.

[@dipoyomi]

​@@lanresadiq4470Same here! Rothmans Pall Mall show or something back then... I had a book where I wrote names of players and managers of all the clubs in the BPL back then. Great times!

[@HouseRMD]

Lampard = Legend

[@ObiOnePodcast]

💯

[@jpdt23]

When people talk Bellingham scoring goals is unprecedented I know the football world doesn't give Frank Lampard enough respect for all he did as a player. Consistent goals 20+. 100% percent always. A hero to me. Like Drogba, Mikel and Terry!!! Lampard > Gerrard.

[@Octographyy]

Best podcast on the internet

[@POETICA18]

What a great pod

[@callummurphy9464]

Big up Obi! Bring in more legends if you can brother! Brings back the best memories for me growing up💙💙💙KTBFH

[@samc8183]

Don’t worry lads…No one remembers the picture… Everyone remembers your immense performances. Legends!

[@avtar1699]

He is and will always be my hero. Was my favourite player growing up for Chelsea.

[@ahmedzacki770]

Obi thanks 🙏

[@Lew99900]

Mikel is very engaging

[@obx_blue4226]

Love the pod Obi!!! Hazard needs to show up sooner than later buddy. Up the Chels 🔵

[@firstnamelastname9616]

Great podcast. Future guests hopefully : Drogba, Essien ,Hazard, Kalou, Malouda, Carvalho, Makelele, Cech, Joe Cole, Ashley Cole, Ivanovic, Ballack

[@minatodroger7890]

Ivanovic I would love to see that

[@SSRamsey513]

I tried listening to all the chelsea podcasts available and this is the only one thats actually interesting and not just a bunch of moaning

[@mistryman98]

Podcast for the Chelsea fans... finally!!

[@jdj8798]

Underated Obi. The guy that performed an integral role for Chelsea and was Nigeria's captain and number 10

[@xBoojum]

Great interview Mikel. Love you mate.

[@amiintalksfootball]

[@wizzyvanmilan8934]

Very interesting & mature podcast

[@bryanmulwa8971]

This podcast is amazing.

[@Unknown15904]

Thank you Obi. I love our podcast 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@travislankford9254]

Ran into many Chelsea legends in NYC walking about. Never ran into Mikel and I'm gutted. Come round and I swear I won't ask you anything about Chelsea...the neighborhood in NYC lol. Love the pod and your insight. Top man and always thought many fans thought you were undervalued to the team.

[@olushogoenoch8938]

Frank is the most disciplined player I ever seeing played, I watched him tucking his jersey every time of playing! Less carded midfielder.

[@TheKimels]

Lamps is my favourite player of all time . Nothing will ever change that...

[@houseaccount685]

What an articulate man player! Super Frank! 💙⚽️

[@jpdt23]

So great he could give so many players debuts. Frank Lampard should be very proud of his time on earth, not just as a manager, but the inspiration he has been to so many. What a great example of men and authentic masculinity.

[@henrymolioa3420]

I am big Chelsea fan from Indonesia, Keep the blue flag flying high , Good Job Obi👍

[@deraof]

What a session! Amazing! Didier Drogba has to be next!

[@FlailheadGaming]

Amazing podcast, great episode again! Cant wait for the next one!

[@nowbiodun]

Super Frankie!!! Another good episode Obi One.

[@kokefran3756]

Mikel is always a winner, and this podcast is already a W

[@Mohamed_Yousif2298]

Mikel, Essien, Lampard, Ballack, Makelele - what a midfield.

[@PjMasks-qu6bb]

We love the time stamps continue them

[@yaredmussie4086]

Whata podcast! Big up Obi and Chris, Im glad yall collabed to do this because your past interviews and convos have always been lit...and now for yall to do it proper with 2 weeks in a row with Chelsea legends, thank you so 🙏🏽 these are so insightful and captivating conversations that many fans want to know what its like in the locker room and on the pitch. Great to hear how the players felt about that 2009 sham ref against Barca 🤯

[@proto12]

Nice

[@hillaryonwochei5675]

These guys had alot of fun i can tell but also come weekend they delivered....cant wait to hear drogba"s stories

[@VillainShow]

Would love to see someone like Juan Mata come in as a filler episode before going for a Drogba or Hazard Even someone like Paul Clement Jody Morris Ashley/ Joe Cole Ballack Paulo Ferreira Ivanovic Ricardo Carvalho Guus Hiddink!

[@danielshumeta8484]

What a legend! Super Frankie 💙Every Chelsea FC supporter must subscribe to this channel.

[@300vvs]

Would love to see Michael Essien on the show. Other shouts for Ramires, Juan mata, petr cech

[@akintoyeilesanmi1974]

[@Kb0174]

Super Superrrrr Frank 💙

[@jpdt23]

Never forget we almost had a midfield of ------------Mikel Gerrard ------------Lampard

[@jpdt23]

Ballack, Essien, Thiago Mendes, Raul Meireles were great too.
