Mikel Obi Surprised by Jackson’s Performance

Mikel Obi Recants Criticism of Jackson After Impressive Form

Former Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi has publicly acknowledged his error in criticizing Nicolas Jackson’s finishing abilities. After a string of impressive performances, including a crucial goal against Tottenham, Jackson has silenced his doubters, including Mikel.

Earlier in the season, Mikel had expressed disappointment with Jackson’s inability to convert chances, stating that Chelsea needed a more clinical striker.

However, Jackson responded to the criticism by scoring a crucial goal and posting a message on Instagram challenging Mikel to “shut his mouth.”

Now, Mikel has admitted that Jackson’s recent form has proven him wrong. He praised the young forward’s improvement and acknowledged that his initial criticism was intended to motivate him. Mikel emphasized that Jackson’s goal-scoring record this season, coupled with his consistent performances, has silenced his critics.
