Legendary European football coach, Jose Mourinho who has coached top European clubs like Benfica, Leiria, Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Tottenham and is currently at Roma.
Top stars like Obi Mikel, Michael Essien Ballack, are among top football stars he has coached. According to Daily Mirror, Mourinho who is nicknamed the Chosen One the best 11 he has coached in his career are Petr Cech; Javier Zanetti, John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho, Ashley Cole; Claude Makelele, Frank Lampard, Mesut Ozil; Eden Hazard, Didier Drogba, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Do you think Michel Obi deserves to be in Mourinho’s first eleven?
Mikel Obi is a very good player. I wonder why Jose Mourinho leave him out!
He should not be left out cause he is among the star players
Mikel might not meet his first eleven squads
They did more than that to JJ Okocha
@pink he might not meet his top 11 players, that doesn’t mean he is not good.
@omaonu you are right but he might be amongst his top 12 players probably but he is just giving us his top 11 players here and the list I don’t think is accordingly just random
Mikel is in no double one of the best players in the world
@alfasheidu you are right they neglected Okocha during his time too
Mikel is no doubt a star but this shows Morinho has coached many stars only to mention a few amongst them
@alfasheidu that is true Okocha is unlucky in that aspect
@omaonu that is true but this happens when we have many star players on board
@alfasheidu Okocha is very unlucky during his time truly
@pink you are right
@omaonu that is true
To me I think Mikel should be amongst his 5 not even to 11
@alfasheidu that is absolutely true
The list is not even in order o believe if the same question is been asked again the list will have a slight difference
I believe no matter how short the list is Mikel should be among them
@alfasheidu you are right
Mikel shouldn’t be left out no matter what
Mikel is one of the best footballer in the world no doubt
@alfasheidu that is true. He was the best during his time
Well, he might not be listing accordingly
Mikel is undoubtedly one of the best footballers in the entire world
I wonder why he was left out
@alfasheidu that is true o
Mourinho should have include Mikel cause Mikel knows how to control ball more than some of the people in his list of 11 best players
@alfasheidu that is true
@pink that is true
@alfasheidu that is absolutely true
Mikel is not amongst the star players that should be forgotten
@alfasheidu Okocha was just unlucky
@omaonu you are right
@alfasheidu it is true
Mikel Obi should be in the list
I can see that the list was just gathered at random
@pink you are correct
@omaonu that is true
Mikel should be in the list
@alfasheidu you are right
Mikel was actually my best player ever
Mourinho has no reason of not including him in this list
We shouldn’t be surprised he is Africa player
in as much as mikel excelled in europe but he didnt play much for mourinho..he cant be on his first eleven ..even essien was left out
You are right
@seuncold it is not about Africa at least we still have African players that make up the list.
@joy123456 the reason might be that Mikel did spend more time playing under Jose’s coaching.
@gbenga he should but then he was left out for a reason best known to Jose
@shehut I believe the reason he was left out was because Mikel and Mourinho did work for a long time like those that made the list
@omaonu it might be so. He may not know Mikel too well but still I believe with the little time spent together he should still meet the list but then we thank God Mikel is doing well that is much more important.
I love mikel pattern of controlling the ball just the way I love J.J. Okocha back then too
Those wondering why Mikel is not included should ask themselves how many minutes per game was Jose Mourinho playing Mikel during their time at Chelsea, I’m sure the answer will settle your curiosity.
Thanks
Great
