Chelsea's Unsung Hero

Chelsea became the first club in London to win the Prestigious Champions League Trophy,their ever first in the club's history.I know past a month now,but the memory still lingers on. Undoubtedly,all the Chelsea players deserve credit and praise for the roles they each played to ensure a double this concluded season.Players like Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard,Peter Cech,Ramires were mostly singled out and praised by football lovers for their heroic performances in the Uefa Champions League final. No doubt these players performed wonderfully well but I still feel there is still one player that wasn't given a special acknowledgement,a special recognition he so deserved. This player was bought as an attacking minded midfielder and converted to a defensive midfielder during Mourinho's tenure in Chelsea,struggled to perform at his best every season,a targeted scapegoat for Chelsea woes by Sport pundits etc. During AVB's short tenure at Chelsea,this player found himself demoted to the bench for a costly mistake he made against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge,that mistake not only gave Liverpool the lead but also put him down the pecking order,with Miereles,Romeo and even Essien when the latter came back from injury. I must say this,no player is above mistake,we have seen many players in this situation before but yet were not demoted,a typical example is Terry's FLOP in the game against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge,that mistake didn't put TERRY ON THE BENCH. Arguable since Makalele left Chelsea,there was never a player to fill his position.Essien did for a while but this player was always going forward to get goals,leaving the defense line vulnerable and since he came back from injury had the worst performance of the season.Romeo couldn't establish himself in that position,though the youngster still has a lot to prove.Miereles on the other hand can be so fustrating in that position,though its not his favoured place. RDM taking over brought light in the tunnel,brought out the talent that was buried on the bench,brought out the best defensive play in this respected player. I know you already have a clue who this player is,its no other person than our own John Mikel Obi. John Mikel Obi,found himself back in the starting line up when RDM took over,this was another chance for him to prove his critics wrong,that he did and since then he has been in the best form of his life. John Mikel Obi's composure in big games thrilled me to my bone,especially in the games against Barcelona and Bayern Munich.It made me proud as a Nigerian seeing my fellow country man performing at the expense of the most feared attacking midfielders in the world. He was so excellent when he came up against Barcelona,dealing with the attacking forces of Messi,Xavi,Iniesta.He wasn't alone but the way he shielded his central defenders at Nou Camp was simply amazing and superb. He carried that same performance to the final shielding Luiz and Cahill from Bayern's midfielders especially when Robben tried to cut into the middle area from the left flank. He deserves credit for the way he played this season and should be rewarded for his hardwork.Take it or leave it,he played a vital role in the midfield and his presence in our matches this season helped us a lot. John Mikel Obi is Chelsea Unsung Hero,its time he is respected and appreciated for flying high the Chelsea's colour and Flag. We are proud of you our Hero and thanks for making us proud,we the Nigerian Fans are behind you all the way. Wish you the Best in Chelsea's Colour. I love you.... Nigerians Loves you...... Chelsea Fans Love you..... Larry Omoh
