“Delete that post or i send you out of my club by January transfer window”- Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has angrily blasted two Chelsea stars after the ‘disgraceful’ post online
Mourinho expresses his thoughts on former Chelsea players in a social media post.
After three of his former Chelsea players got back together this week, Jose Mourinho could not help but jest, saying: “Daddy is missing!”
Between 2004 and 2007, Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou, and John Obi Mikel all had significant roles for Mourinho as Chelsea’s manager. During that time, Chelsea won two League Cups, one FA Cup, and two Premier League championships.
And this week, Drogba, Kalou, and Mikel all got together again for the Africa Cup of Nations draw; Mikel posted a snapshot of the group eating together on Instagram. “Still no statues, but be careful!” After adding a caption, Mikel tagged his former teammates.
Among those who responded to Mikel was Mourinho, who wrote: “Daddy is missing! You wealthy folks may enjoy the holidays,” she added, adding a heart emoji. Following a disagreement with Manchester United, Mourinho eventually convinced Mikel to join Chelsea from the Norwegian club Lyn. The transfer was finally completed in 2006.
In 2005, United declared that they had reached a signing agreement with Mikel. A press conference was arranged, and a picture of the player wearing a Red Devils jersey was displayed. Mikel later referred to his move to Stamford Bridge as “the best decision I have ever made” when Chelsea hijacked the deal.
“I don’t regret any decision I made because I enjoyed everything I achieved at Chelsea – it’s the best decision I have ever made in my life,” he said to BBC Sport Africa last year. When I was 17, I agreed to a pre-contract with Manchester United.
“Of course you will be tempted if you are a kid and you see Sir Alex Ferguson standing right in front of you with the contract.” Mikel also praised Mourinho for changing him from an attacking midfielder to a defensive one, which the Portuguese coach did with great success.
Mikel said, “Mourinho decided he wanted me to play the defensive midfield position. “He is the coach, and he made the choice in the end.
We talked, and he felt that I should play the defensive midfield position because of the large midfield players he had on his Chelsea side. Mourinho wanted me to replace [Claude] Makelele since he was about to wrap up his career at Chelsea.
He later made 372 appearances for Chelsea, contributing to the Blues’ victories in the Champions League, Europa League, four FA Cups, and two League Cups in addition to two Premier League crowns.
