Mourinho hails 'amazing' Mikel in Chelsea victory against Walsall

By

Jose Mourinho has voiced his satisfaction with Mikel Obi’s midfield display in Wednesday's 4-1 Capital One Cup victory over Walsall at the Bescot Stadium.

Goals from Ramires, Loic Remy, Kenedy and Pedro help the Blues advance into the fourth round of the League Cup but were tested against Dean Smith’s side.
The Super Eagles’ star was deployed in a three-man midfield alongside Ramires and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
James O’Connor though got a goal for the hosts, the Roman Army boss was pleased to see his men never lost focus in middle.
“We brought a good solid defence and the midfield was really good. Mikel and Ramires played amazingly well,” Mourinho toldWestlondonsport.
“I analysed Walsall before. I was surprised with the quality of their play.
“They were a different team to normal in League One; not so physical, and technically fast. They were very well organised.
“I haven’t found a team in League One playing the quality of football that they tried to play,” he concluded.
Mikel who was on for the entire duration of the game was cautioned in the 39th minute.
Chelsea face a tricky test against Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium in the fourth round of the League Cup.

At a point in their creamier than cream relationship, the duo were virtually inseparable, which set tongues wagging that they must have been more than mere friends. While the hint of a relationship was being dropped around, neither Ubi nor Emma saw anything wrong with it. Until the song changed! According to reports, the song changed for them when Ubi Frankin proposed to Nollywood actress, Lilian Esoro, presumably, shunning his ward who has been waiting in the wings for years. The song went from sorry to sad when Emma Nyra reportedly blurted out in an interview that she was never romantically involved with Ubi. Now, the sad song went very bad wh...
