Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, has been handed the Number 10 jersey and captain band at his new Chinese club, Tianjin Teda by coach, Jaime Pacheco.
The former Chelsea midfielder scored his first goal in the 36th minute for the club in his team’s 6-2 loss to St. Pauli over the weekend. Congrats to him!

Most lovers of the Super Eagles realize how valuable Mikel is to the national team, it is mostly Chelsea fans who underestimate his importance.

John Mikel Obi possessed the happy knack of saving his very best performances for when it mattered most. His big-game ability was never more evident than in May 2012 when Chelsea lifted the Champions League for the first time in its history. His outstanding display in the final against Bayern Munich was a key factor in Chelsea's success that year, and he produced similarly titanic performances in many European and domestic cup finals and semi-finals during his 10-and-a-half seasons at the Bridge.

"It's very good playing alongside Obi, a top holding midfield player. He's one of those players that will not make headlines, but he's happy to go unrecognised in his work and he has a huge worth for the team when he plays."
~ Frank Lampard on Mikel, January 2014

Despite the presence in Chelsea's squad of arguably the greatest defensive midfielder of all time, Claude Makelele, Mikel still made over 40 appearances in his first season, and he more or less maintained that level of consistency when it came to playing time throughout his Chelsea career.

Under the stewardship of Guus Hiddink, Mikel continued to flourish, most notably in the Nou Camp, where Chelsea kept a clean sheet in the first leg of its Champions League semi-final with Barcelona, and at Wembley, where his calm touch was a major contribution to the 2009 FA Cup win over Everton.

"He is a genius in his position. It is a miracle if he loses the ball."
~ Jose Mourinho, April 2007

In total, Mikel made 372 appearances for the club - the 17th-highest figure of anyone in its history - and won 10 major honours. He leaves with the respect and appreciation of those who managed him, played alongside him and watched him during his decade-long stay at Stamford Bridge.

"Obi has been a big part of this club’s success over the past decade...I want to say on a personal level, that he was a great friend and a great player. I wish you well 'Old Boy'. Love ya."
~ John Terry

Salute to a football general who is content with staying under the radar. Here is to an amazing career in China!

"Football" is a universal language. you don't need to speak to understand it.
