EPL: Why I converted Mikel to defensive midfielder — Mourinho

Jose Mourinho, the former Chelsea manager and current head of Serie A team AS Roma, has shared his rationale for transforming John Mikel Obi’s role during their time together at Chelsea. Mikel, who joined Chelsea in 2006, was initially recognized as one of the most promising young attacking midfielders in the world.

However, under Mourinho’s guidance, Mikel’s position on the field shifted significantly. Mourinho converted him into a defensive midfielder, a role that Mikel adapted to and excelled in throughout his successful career at Stamford Bridge.informationguidenigeria

“I liked everything about Mikel. If you go through all the positional[defensive] midfield players that I have had during my career, there are lots of similar things,” Mourinho said on the ObiOne Podcast.JAMB Portal

“Aside from Claude Makelele who was small, I had them all tall and physically strong. They also knew how to occupy space and they have what I call ‘the simplicity of football’, which is fundamental in that position.
