‘Shut your mouth’ - Chelsea striker, Nicolas Jackson slams Chelsea legend, John Obi Mikel for criticizing him
Nicolas Jackson, the talented forward from Chelsea who hails from Senegal, found himself embroiled in a verbal spat with former Chelsea stalwart John Obi-Mikel following some critical comments made by Mikel after Chelsea's loss to Manchester City. Mikel, known for his astute observations, didn't hold back during his assessment on the Obi One podcast, pinpointing Jackson's lack of precision in front of goal and the urgent need for a clinical striker in the team.
However, Jackson swiftly responded on the pitch, demonstrating his prowess by scoring a crucial goal in Chelsea's exhilarating 6-2 triumph over Wolves. Not content with just his performance, Jackson took to social media, specifically Instagram, to challenge Mikel directly. By reposting the impressive statistics of his goal and issuing a direct message to Mikel, Jackson made it clear that he was not one to shy away from criticism.
In his Instagram post, Jackson's words reverberated with defiance as he urged Mikel to refrain from undermining him while emphasizing their shared commitment to excel for the continent of Africa. This incident not only added fuel to the fire of Chelsea's already intense rivalry but also underscored the passion and determination of players like Jackson to prove their worth and rise above any detractors.
