Played football for years but still has absolutely no clue... 😭 Mikel Obi will do anything to avoid admitting Arsenal have completely surpassed Chelsea in recent years. The obsession is real.
🚨 MIKEL OBI REACTS TO ARSENAL’S 2-1 WIN OVER CHELSEA
🎙️JOHN OBI MIKEL: “I watched Arsenal today and honestly, I still don’t understand what their football is supposed to be.
They didn’t play their own game. They simply followed Chelsea’s rhythm for 90 minutes. Chelsea moved, Arsenal reacted. Chelsea created, Arsenal followed. It was like Chelsea were controlling the game and Arsenal were just trying to stay close enough to copy what they were doing.
And then they won 2-1, so suddenly everyone will say Arsenal played brilliant football. No. Let’s be serious.
A good football team imposes its identity on the opponent. Arsenal didn’t do that today. They waited for Chelsea to show them how to play and then tried to survive the same game.
If Chelsea had played badly, Arsenal would probably have looked lost because there was nothing creative or convincing coming from them independently.
Arsenal fans can celebrate the three points, of course. But if you watched the actual football and not just the scoreline, you know Chelsea were the team setting the tone.
Winning 2-1 is one thing. Playing football that makes people respect you is another.”
Rival fans aren't ready for the conversation once Gabriel Magalhães adds 3 PL titles, 2 UCLs, a Club World Cup, and a Super Cup to his cabinet. He’s surpassing Van Dijk's Liverpool legacy. Don't check the replies. 🤐
