‘We can compete for the league’ - Mikel Obi backs Maresca for EPL title next season
Super Eagles legend John Mikel Obi believes Enzo Maresca has the potential to compete for the Premier League title.
The statement has since unleashed a firestorm of reactions, with football fans across the country divided over whether Mikel truly deserves the crown over other Nigerian legends like Austine Jay-Jay Okocha or Stephen Keshi.
Mikel, born in Jos, Nigeria, boasts an extraordinary career that lends weight to Odumodublvck’s assertion.
)
Over his 11 years at Chelsea, the defensive midfielder clinched two Premier League titles (2009–10, 2014–15), four FA Cups (2006–07, 2008–09, 2009–10, 2011–12), the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League, and the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League.
Internationally, Mikel earned 91 caps for the Super Eagles between 2005 and 2019, scoring six goals and playing a pivotal role in Nigeria’s 2013 Africa Cup of Nations triumph—the country’s first in 19 years.
)
He also secured a bronze medal at the 2016 Olympics and remains the only Nigerian to represent all national teams from the U-17 level to the senior squad.
With 362 club appearances across Chelsea, Tianjin TEDA, Middlesbrough, Trabzonspor, and Stoke City, Mikel’s trophy cabinet and longevity speak volumes.
)
His versatility, work rate, and leadership on the pitch have cemented his status as one of Nigeria’s most decorated players.
Yet, Odumodublvck’s declaration has not gone unchallenged. Fans of Jay-Jay Okocha argue that the former Paris Saint-Germain and Bolton Wanderers star’s flair, dribbling, and creativity outshine Mikel’s achievements, despite Okocha’s lighter trophy haul.
)
Others point to Stephen Keshi, a defensive titan and successful coach who led Nigeria to the 1994 AFCON title, or Christian Chukwu, a revered captain from an earlier era.
The debate has lit up social media with passionate takes. One fan quipped, “Mikel is not the Greatest but most successful, the greatest is Okocha,” while another dismissed the claim entirely: “You know wetin be greatest? Him no even near Stephen Keshi or Chairman Christian Chukwu.”
)
A third offered a nod to Okocha’s brilliance, saying, “On paper with stats perhaps, but on the pitch it can only be one answer and ‘he was so good they named him twice.’”
Meanwhile, some fans veered off-topic, with one humorously proclaiming, “Skales is the greatest Nigeria musician of all time,” prompting a sarcastic “You don start.”Odumodublvck has yet to elaborate on his stance, leaving the debate to rage on.
)
Mikel’s unparalleled silverware and international impact make a compelling case, but Nigeria’s rich football history offers no shortage of contenders.
Whether the rapper’s bold claim holds up may depend on what fans value most—trophies, skill, or legacy. For now, the conversation shows no signs of cooling down.
