Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo Can Dominate Premier League Except Against Manchester City – Mikel Obi
John Mikel Obi, the former captain of the Super Eagles, recently shared his thoughts on his podcast regarding the current Chelsea squad, specifically highlighting Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
According to Mikel Obi, these two players have the potential to control and dominate any team in the Premier League, with the notable exception of Manchester City.
Mikel Obi’s comments came in response to recent events involving Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca and a controversy surrounding Fernandez.
The situation arose when Fernandez was involved in a racism incident linked to a video celebrating the Copa América victory, where offensive chants about French players were recorded.
Maresca had defended Fernandez, emphasizing the need to manage such issues effectively.
Mikel Obi expressed empathy for Fernandez, suggesting that the controversy has marred what should have been an exciting start to his career at Chelsea.
He stressed the importance of making the most out of Fernandez’s exceptional talent. Alongside Caicedo, Fernandez’s presence in Chelsea’s midfield is seen as a significant strength.
Mikel Obi confidently stated that with these two players in the team, Chelsea could potentially outclass any Premier League opponent, though he admitted that Manchester City remains a formidable challenge.
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
