Jon Obi Mikel - FIFA World Youth Championship Netherlands 2005. Holanda 2005. Pays-Bas 2005. Nigeria Flying Eagles He won the silver ball behind Lionel Messi.
At that time he and Messi were seen as equal and both were seen as the 2 worlds greatest talents. Funny if you look back at it and look at them now :)

@marxistsoldier you don't know what you are talking about. I am norwegian and I am so glad that I have seen mikel play live in norway when he was 18 years old. He was the best 18 year old in the world. He played second striker. He was one of the topscorers in the league at 18! And he had most assist. He has not developed his attacking skillz since he was 19. He is not a CDM either a CM, he is a CAM or SA. And the only thing his better on today is tackling and reading the game.

@blue1991dbes really? Samson Siasia, coach of Nigeria "The system in chelsea actually destroyed Mikel's game. Mikel is an offensive player, but when he moved to Chelsea, they changed him because they had a better player offensive wise like Frank Lampard who can score goals."

Lawrence N mourinho only coach him one year, during that year, chelsea had ballack, Essien,lampard, Makélélé, still, mourinho gave mikel lots of opportunity of playing. A year later, mourinho left chelsea, then when he comes back again, it was 2013. During all those years, mourinho has nothing to do with Mikel's development at all. Now you put all the blames on him?

Lawrence N it's all mikel's own fault that he doesn't meet our expectation, or likely that he had a faked age when he playing back 2005, he claims he was 18, but maybe he was 24 or 25, who knows

Ellery Lai u stupid for saying he lied about his age.the coach messed him up.hes an attacking midfielder n u can see he was even wearing a number 9 shirt indicating he was playing as a false 9 .it's gona be hard for any african to win senior world cup.thats why we africans win just junior world cup becos its raw talent.by the time they begin to mature becis of poverty in africa they all run abroad /europe /china etc. to join big name clubs or lower clubs that pay more than what they get paid in africa.when they get to those high profile clubs they re either loaned out to lower clubs example kelechi iheanacho n kelechi nwakali, victor osimhen or if used, the coach there change their technicality n mentality example as in mikel @chelsea.its only few africans that really made it at the top.until we Africans develop our games in Africa in terms of wages ,sponsorship, welfare packages, insurance and all that n grow these our players in africa n make europeans come to play in africa too.its gonna be really hard for any african team to win the senior world cup.this same idealogy is what china is trying to do at the moment.pumping alot of money into football.

@@muhepei you're not serious. José destroyed Mikel's football by converting an attacking Midfielder to a Defensive players. We all know who Mikel was before that stupid move to Chelsea. We later saw a little bit of him at the 2013 confederations cup in Brazil.

@DILIORA2 : Mikel is doing well with chelsea and still reamain the only Nigerian player playing week in week out in Europe. he is comfortable with the position and also financially relaxed compared to his compatriots. As for his position, he can do better forward than Lampard and maluda, even Essien who is a defensive midfielder does better in front than Mikel cos he can score goals. I am a Chelsea fan and we re not complaining neither is Mikel.

@Lakers7Fan not really, hes really a search and destroy midfielder if anything. most of the time, ramires or essien gets to do that. for e.g. mascherano was a search and destroy and alonso was a deep lying playmaker for liverpool

not saying he is known for his pace. I am saying he is not that slow, so you call Yaya slow just because he rarely sprints? Yaya is very fast but he has not many chances or space to go for a run when he plays cdm, same with Mikel. Mikel is not as fast as Yaya but faster than playmakers like Riquelme and Lampard.

whaaaaat? I know this comment is old but your judgement of Yaya Toure is so far off the mark it's almost laughable. His best position is to run from deep, NOT play behind the striker (although he can) also, he's known for his powerful drives yet you say "he rarely sprints" aaand another thing, Mikel has never scored a PL goal for Chelsea and it's hardly as if he's sitting deep when we're 4-0 up at home against relegation fodder, he's not the attacking talent people are claiming on this vid.
