“He deserves it” “We finally agreed Mikel said rubbish” – LOTS of Chelsea fans backed Nicolas Jackson after hitting back at Mikel Obi comments
Nicolas Jackson, a striker for Chelsea, has retaliated against John Mikel Obi, the former captain of the Super Eagles, by urging him to stop talking.
Jackson expressed his annoyance on Instagram at Mikel Obi’s critical remarks directed against the team’s forwards.
In just 98 seconds, the Senegal international opened the score as the Blues defeated Wolves on Sunday.
Jackson then found Cole Palmer with a pass, bringing the first-half score to 2-1.
This occurs one week after Mikel Obi, who felt the 23-year-old was not good enough for Chelsea, criticized him for his performance in the team’s 2-0 loss to Manchester City.
After the game at Wolves, Jackson took the opportunity to hit back at Mikel Obi on social media.
He tagged Mikel in an Instagram Story and wrote: “Shut your mouth, don’t talk sh*t, we are killing ourselves for Africa.”
Reactions to Nicolas Jackson and Mikel Obi
After the statement by Jackson, Mikel rose to the top of the trends on social media.
Many football fans were shocked that Jackson would call out a club legend in that manner.
However, after just scoring a goal while Mikel left Chelsea almost a decade ago, it was the Senegalese striker that got the backing of the fans.
According to most of the reactions, Mikel Only scored six goals for Chelsea while Jackson had 14 just last year.
They also were of the opinion that Mikel did not address this situation professionally so he deserved what Jackson said.
Some were also of the opinion that Mikel wanted his compatriot Victor Osimhen at Chelsea despite fans clamoring that he is not necessary.
