Chelsea FC and Super Eagles Midfield Star JOHN MIKEL OBI in a recent
exclusive interview with Kayode Tijani, addresses all issues most
personal ...
Read it below....
COMMITMENT TO NIGERIA Well whatever happened , whatever transpired
before the Olympic Games of 2008 in Beijing, I know the truth, I know
what happened, but all respect to the truth, the guys went there and
did everyone proud, they didn't win it but they really tried, they got
to the final, if I was there, maybe they could not have made it to the
final, and maybe if I was there they could have won, but, well, maybe
sometimes when I speak, because I don't speak a lot, people get
confused, but I like showing people the passion I have for this game.
When I come to play for my country, I love to give 110 per cent, I
love playing for my Country every time I get called up, if I am
injured, I will put myself to the team managers, to the NFF. I think
people should realize that like every other footballer, I get injured
sometimes. I always want to play for my Country, and with the
relationship going on between my Club Chelsea anytime they want me to
play I am there.
MARRIAGE DILEMMA
I know, normal people don't go through what I am going through now
when it concerns finding a Wife to marry, and normal people don't
atall. Believe me it's so so difficult, very difficult, it's so so
difficult you just have to leave it to God. There might be someone who
really loves me truly for who I am but I may not be aware and maybe
you don't know... or you may think she's one ofthose who loves you for
who you areor what you have, or because of your money, maybe she's
there for you, you never know, you get so confused, now I have decided
I will just leave it to God to decide who I get married to.
RUMOURS OF FIVE BENTLEY S
One thing is I really don't go into theNigerian Papers, not like I
don't care,my Agent called me, he was in Nigeria and he said to me
there are rumours that I have Bentleys, I am like what, five Bentleys,
what am I going to do with Five Bentleys, they are all same cars. I
think it boils down to when you are doing really well, when things are
going well for you, you become what people don't expect you to become,
what people don't expect you to achieve, you know there's always going
to be rumours flying here and there, it all depends on how well you
manage yourself though, you curtail yourself from things that are not
right for you,I want to play this game for a very long time, I love
Chelsea, I will like to finish my Career here at Chelsea but it
depends on what happens, who comes and goes, that's football, we shall
see what the future holds.
THE NIGERIAN MEDIA AND I
I am not angry at the Media, sometimes when they write wrong thing
about me, they are just doing their job, they want to sell their
papers. I am not saying Mikel is anything or so but when people see
Mikel on the front pages of the papers, they go and buy it and I
thinkthey are making quite a lot of moneyfrom that. I love to speak
with the press but I love it when things are done properly, I am a
busy person who has got schedules as well, you can't just come to me
and say Mikel I want to interview you, things are notdone that way, if
things are done properly, I will do interviews, but if things are not
arranged properly, can't just meet me at the lobby of a hotel, you
meet me in the streets and say I want to speak to you, it doesn't work
that way.
