Our man Mikel Obi is Back! Watch as Chelsea Fans Sang His Name for Outstanding Performance (Photos)

Nigeria's Super Eagles midfielder, John Mikel Obi’s future bounced back after an astounding performance yesterday during the London derby match between Crystal Place and Chelsea which ended 3-0.


Chelsea's interim manager, Guus Hiddink, after the match, said in his interview that he thinks John Mikel Obi played very well, and that the Nigerian midfielder is the balance the team needs.

It can be recalled that before now, Mikel Obi’s career tottered under the management of Jose Mourinho who reportedly never favoured the Nigerian, as his overall participation in 2014/2015 matches was nine in all the club’s competitions.

With Mourinho gone, Obi’s appearances have increased. Under the caretaker manager, he was featured in Chelsea’s match with Sunderland where they won 3-1, and he has played in three other matches with Watford, Manchester United and yesterday’s match with Crystal Place.

And since yesterday, Mikel Obi has been trending, with Chelsea fans pouring praises on the Nigerian. But what’s most touching is this clip which captures Chelsea fans chanting Obi’s name during the match.
