@@thefacelessquestion3333 yup..they didnt have the most stylish players..chelsea was a well oiled machine, perfect parts for every position...even prime barca would find it hard to break their defense
Parked buss tactic was 2012... it only worked because the characters! Lamps, terry, drogba was passed their prime but somehow they just need to win it! Its was for the themselfes for all their hard work and loyalty toward the club! But also for Roman and the fans, we might had 20manager during their time but loyalty was Drogba, jt, lamps and roman that always had same goal CL!
When Mourinho used to make the Jon Obi Mikel substitution that meant that there would be no more goals on that day by the opposition. Chelsea LEGEND! 💙
I was at the Champions league final 2012 and for me Mikel won us that game when we were really holding on he fought for every ball, utter fighter and also a leader which went unnoticed
372 appearances for Chelsea, 6 goals and 13 assists. He was not underrated by any stretch. He was a good defensive midfielder who contributed nothing offensively. I think he was lucky to have played for such a good Chelsea team.
Nothing's wrong with player power when the players are legends. Chelsea's players really just wanted to win. At other clubs it would more be an issue of individuals throwing tantrums, which disrupts everything. That group of Drogba, Lampard, Cech, Cole and Terry were serial winners that could carry even the worst manager to a CL run and a top4 finish.
John Obi - Mikel is a brilliant guy on a podcast, could listen for hours on end.. And what a player, Superb and I say this as a Arsenal fans and Ghanaian who had so many sad times infront of the TV lool
Not when Pep is the manager.. it aint happening. The players, wherever Pep caoches, don't have the power.. He will drop the best player in the team for the whole month and the owner would back him..
like Simon said, Roman was a different type of owner. Pepe probo wouldn't work under an owner like that. Pep builds teams(at clubs with tremendous power and influence I must add, could he build at millwall?) while the majority if not all the Chelsea managers in Mikel's time atleast, they were brought in to win instantly with the ready made stars they had. Its the fact Chelsea had so many stars that they had that power to make a manager disappear. in this day and age things are different. look at sancho for example lol
Would have been asking John Obi Mikel why on earth was Ancelotti sacked. He won the double, making history with most goals scored, then finished 2nd in the league and was gone. I am surely not the only Chelsea fan to have been left puzzled on why this happened
Poch would have Never even been interviewed - same w/ these incompetent bums Winstanley & Stewart... Jim White must be drunk again - fixated on Abramovich sacking managers... Donkey Boehly been at Chelsea 50 PL Gm & already hired 5 fooking Managers & got a Total of 60 pts to show for it...... Abramovich was Governor of a Region 10x the size of UK 8 Yrs & revitalized the Entire region - man is an organizational Genius
@@Jole30 I dont give a/f about Sorry & IDGAF about if a player or manager Hates Chelsea - as long as he produces on the Pitch - that's what made Roman so Great - Results were all that mattered.....

Mikel's always been a bit of a cnut (same with Drogba and Terry). The fans are the most important part of the club, not the players. When the players have f@@ked off, the fans will still be there.
Not having that !!!! To much player power and definitely owner ship that backed down to easily. Firigan players above themselves once again. They should think themselves bloody fortunate!!!!?
Correct, we did not like Rafa! Who drops one of the top 4 centre backs in the EPL era? complete moron (despite the fact he worked miracles with that bang average Liverpool team - fair play and credit where its due)

Mikel comes across as a nice lad and really well spoken
Not what you expected him to be like?
Well spoken???...mate, sometimes just don't write things you are thinking? 😊
Well said. I'm a black Londoner and I've had people say that to me more than once...I knew exactly what they meant and it wasn't good.@@deetee4403
As a Liverpool fan Chelsea's first Mourinho team that won back to back titles was a machine. Ruthlessly effective and efficient
I'd put that team against any other team ever.

That was his best game,I tell pple all the time
Arsenal fan here that's a fact, Cahill too really really played his skin out ..but obi was the best player by a mile
Roman got my respect for always attending every match is legendary.
loved chelsea he was fantastic we really miss him werent just about his money it was him as a person. legend
It's such a shame that the FA decided to mix politics with sports.
Roman the don of chelsea ,the greatest owner in premier League history
In football
Facts top 3 owner of all time
Nobody cared more about Chelsea's result than him. He was to Chelsea like Sir Alex Ferguson was to Manchester United.
Roman ❤🙏💙💙🤲💯🫶🙌👑the GODFather 🐐
John Obi Mikel was a seriously underrated player
Stop
Yes compared to the crappy players playing for Chelsea right now
@@freymar6866loool
372 appearances for Chelsea, 6 goals and 13 assists.
He was not underrated by any stretch. He was a good defensive midfielder who contributed nothing offensively. I think he was lucky to have played for such a good Chelsea team.
@@Trev99999they didn’t need him to attack. They had lampard, ballack, even essien etc. who did that
Roman best owner in prem history no question!

Subscribe to his podcast... it's awesome.
What a guest. Great speaker, unreal insight, more Obi please
‘When you saw the helicopter it means someone was getting fired’
‘What so when a helicopter came someone was getting fired’
😂😂
Amazing interview. Well done Talk Sport. Even Simon was listening that’s special.
Brilliant clip. I love getting hearing from former players...getting to hear the hush hush stuff that went on within the club.
It’s great when a player comes on and speaks with honesty like he has
I've always have the impression John Terry was the manager and the actual managers were his assistant managers 😂
What an owner Abramovic was
I miss Roman...Best owner ever
They were winners, thats the difference with some of these teams now adays
I think Danny Murphy was just exceptional with his submission as it helped Mikel put his words the right way. Thanks Danny.
This is why this club was club of the decade during that 11 years. Its all xane down from the owner
Not when Pep is the manager.. it aint happening. The players, wherever Pep caoches, don't have the power.. He will drop the best player in the team for the whole month and the owner would back him..
Thats how it should be. Pep doesn't want nonsense and he has full support of the top brass.
Pep doesn’t have the caliber of players chelsea had in their prime so many superstars (information)
like Simon said, Roman was a different type of owner. Pepe probo wouldn't work under an owner like that. Pep builds teams(at clubs with tremendous power and influence I must add, could he build at millwall?) while the majority if not all the Chelsea managers in Mikel's time atleast, they were brought in to win instantly with the ready made stars they had.
Its the fact Chelsea had so many stars that they had that power to make a manager disappear. in this day and age things are different. look at sancho for example lol
it was a different era. footballers were men not boys. The roman way as unconventional as it was they won all time.
@@JohnDoe-gx8ditrue, he rejected Chelsea in 2013.
Fianlly an interview with an ex player where the player is honest and not pulling punches.
Obi is right. All these managers are overhyped and really rely on the players for the success and results.
Would have been asking John Obi Mikel why on earth was Ancelotti sacked. He won the double, making history with most goals scored, then finished 2nd in the league and was gone. I am surely not the only Chelsea fan to have been left puzzled on why this happened
I'm still mad they sacked him.
Worst sack ever in football history in my opinion
He was to deliver champion league trophy
You said it. Then they finished second
So Roman didn’t like that. He Always replaced a winning manager. The season they didn’t win the league
But the replacement was perfect always. I think anceloti was there to deliver a champions league and he didn't.
Under Roman,because of results Poch would be gone.
Instantly 💯
Poch wouldn’t have been signed to begin with.
Tuchel (❤️) would still be there
@@maxsch8454nah chelsea dont keep managers that long. even mourinho got sacked twice.
Poch would have Never even been interviewed - same w/ these incompetent bums Winstanley & Stewart... Jim White must be drunk again - fixated on Abramovich sacking managers...

Benitez didn't get sacked. It was always the plan for him to leave at the end of the season.
John terry sacked him
I guess you know more than John Obi Mikel
@@iseekq Go look it up online. Benitez was only interim manager until the end of the season. He was never appointed permanently
He was sacked by the fans before he even started. FSW, FSW, you don't know yer doin'!
3:45 JT got together by himself
😂😂😂😂😂
For sure I really miss Roman ..and their former players.. Chelsea was really strong and tough...Chelsea forever...💕
Players are the most important people in the club. Don’t say that to Eric Ten Hag😂
Love this interview
mikel was massively underrated
Look at Jim’s eyes lighting up thinking “I gotcha now”
The players had power yes, but they had such high standards...
A good insight!
Danny stop telling John was he’s trying to say. The players would get together to get managers fired if they feel he didn’t align with them.
exactly
Mikel is such a great guy
A Honest View of John...Love the truth from an Excellent Player.. JT Was the Boss..Any Manager who dropped him was a Fool..😅
I miss the times when we had these real men at the club not these little boys we have nowadays
obi mikel was so underrated. Did the dirty work!
Was Simon in? I doubt he liked any of that 😂😂😂
I thought the same haha.
Good times man good times.
Never heard this guy talk 😮. He is amazing
Loved him at Boro!
Things were so much better back then
Best EPL owner Ever
Obi beat Messi for player award in youth WC
So Roman Abramovic was always in the dressing room but then the media made it look like it is only Todd and he is clueless.
Benitez was always leaving at the end of the season. Bad research Jim
Interesting to get the perspective of a player
Very honest
It’s that at every club now that’s why managers never last
A mean Mikel he got a point, if the players don’t play for the manager the manager can’t win
Subscribed because of obi
Miss Roman and those managers and players
Chelsea fans hated Rafa because of his quote about flag waving. He could have won the CL for us but they would never forgive him for that line
And he wasn't man enough to say sorry. Dont expect us to forgive then..
@@Jole30 I dont give a/f about Sorry & IDGAF about if a player or manager Hates Chelsea - as long as he produces on the Pitch - that's what made Roman so Great - Results were all that mattered.....

Jesus Jim you’ve been doing this for long enough, let the man speak for 5 seconds without interrupting him
What goes around comes around, lampard tasted what his former managers went thru
The thing is,Abramovic's Chelsea was the most successful team in england during his time,
What happened to Chec???were he now ,retired or what
Players make good managers not the other way around
Roman was the don of London.
When you see the helicopters you know the managers getting sacked 😂😂😂😂
we knew this already
Don't see how that's funny.. You respect the leader and give him the benefit of the doubt
Class!!
I really love this guy mikel
To some extent we knew this us fans but weren't sure
Obi one !
Yea is an amazing owner
we won everything so i support what the players were doing! jt is bigger than all them managers apart from mourinho and anchellotti
Mikel's always been a bit of a cnut (same with Drogba and Terry).
The fans are the most important part of the club, not the players. When the players have f@@ked off, the fans will still be there.
As a Chelsea fan Roman was the best owner, Boris and his criminal team did him great injustice
I miss Abromavich 😢
Not having that !!!! To much player power and definitely owner ship that backed down to easily. Firigan players above themselves once again. They should think themselves bloody fortunate!!!!?
roman doesnt back down lol. players had power in chelsea so long they were top top level and performing and most importantly winning.
Fan's are meant to be the most important in football,no fans no football 😂😂😂
I think John Obi mikel is suuperb Podcaster.
Poor raffa. Scousers and jordies love him thats enough ❤
can we have a comment after the FFP decission
Nothing new. Everyone knew that Chelsea side had the power.
In United we kick out our legends if they have a problem. Sad state
Players held power at Chelsea but they were WINNING trophies unlike united and their petulant players. 😂
Jim white is such a birch can’t stand him
Players like Terry who brought their soul to the club having power is no problem but not some spoilt brats like Hazard
Best owner ever
Chelsea is what PSG strives to be.
Andre Villas Boas.....sabotaged😂
Does city players have the power to get Pep’s sacked?
That Ukraine for ruin Chelsea 😂
As Arsenal fan nothing says knob club than football club recruiting the enemy/rival manager Rafa Banitez 💀🤡😂
Abramovich was better than Boley
Players Sacking manager hes being praised jeesh
Roman the g'vnor. THE greatest owner EVER. Come home boss. Love you.
This guy is incredible copy 😂😂
Stop saying u know , u know
So, you don't know? 🤨😐
There's nothing to admire about this.
คืนนี้ถ้าเป็น บอลถ้วย เชลซี
Mikel is very well spoken ,credit to him and his parents
We all knew😂

Correct, we did not like Rafa! Who drops one of the top 4 centre backs in the EPL era? complete moron (despite the fact he worked miracles with that bang average Liverpool team - fair play and credit where its due)
