Veteran footballer Mikel Obi has responded to Nicolas Jackson’s recent comments after Chelsea’s victory against Wolves. Jackson, who had a standout performance, told Mikel to “keep quiet” following criticism about his finishing abilities.
Mikel clarified his previous remarks, saying, “I haven’t said he’s a bad player; I just said his finishing quality is not good yet. If he plays well, I will praise him; if he scores every week and tells me to shut up, I will take that.”
Mikel’s response highlights his belief that while Jackson has potential, there’s still room for improvement. However, he’s more than willing to give credit where it’s due if Jackson continues to perform well on the pitch.
What do you think about Mikel’s take on Jackson’s progress?
