Mikel Obi Responds to Nicolas Jackson: ‘I’ll Stay Quiet If He Keeps Scoring’
Former Nigerian captain John Obi Mikel recently responded to Nicolas Jackson’s Instagram post, where the young striker told Mikel to “shut up.” This exchange followed Mikel’s earlier critique, suggesting that Jackson needs guidance from a more experienced striker to refine his skills.
Nicolas Jackson, not one to stay silent, took to social media to defend himself, urging the former Chelsea midfielder to hold his tongue. Mikel, however, clarified that his comments were not meant to undermine Jackson. He expressed his admiration for the striker’s talent but maintained that Jackson could benefit from additional support to reach his full potential.
In a humorous twist, Mikel added that if Jackson continues to score goals consistently, he’ll gladly keep his opinions to himself. This light-hearted exchange between the football stars has caught the attention of fans, adding a touch of banter to the conversation around Jackson’s performance on the pitch.
