Former Chelsea Player, John Obi Mikel suggests that Chelsea Manager, Enzo Maresca should learn the movements from Manchester City’s Manager.

The former player shared that Chelsea might be out of moves and needs to be as strategic as Manchester City. He stated that their current approach has been learnt by the other teams for the Premier League.

“We’ve been found out. The premier league is where clubs study you. I have said it so many times. Clubs study how you play and straight away they will stop you from doing exactly what you know how to.”

“So you need to find a different way. You need to learn how to tweak things, just like Pep Guardiola is doing right now. Manchester city are not playing 20 passes to get to where they want.”

“We saw against Newcastle at the weekend they went direct. You need to be creative and find a different way of winning games. Right now we’re not doing that. The players look like they’re out of ideas.”

PSG manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on who should win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, saying he believes the award should go to one of his players.

He said, “The Ballon d’Or should go to a PSG player, We have players who have won the Champions League. We have Fabián, who won the World Cup as well. We have Ousmane, who won the Ballon d’Or last season. That’s my opinion, but I’m not interested in individual awards.”

The 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony is scheduled to take place in London on October 26, with the shortlist set to be revealed on September 8.
