Earlier, Enzo mentioned his fondness for the city of Madrid in two talk shows. Combined with previous rumors, this has been regarded by many fans as a signal that Enzo is courting Real Madrid. Former Chelsea player John Mikel Obi launched a scathing attack on his podcast.
“This is not leadership. If there were leaders—players respected and looked up to by the team—you wouldn't make those remarks, because you'd wonder, 'How will this be received in the dressing room? What will the top players, the big names, think when they see this?'”
“You were the captain of that match, yet you came out and made those comments... How will the senior players in the dressing room view this?”
“He looks at this situation and thinks, 'In the dressing room, who the *** is going to hold me accountable?' No one! Leaders don't exist.”
“So he thinks, 'I can say whatever the ***I want, no one will hold me accountable,' and that's exactly what's happening.”
“After our humiliating elimination from the Champions League, he came out with those statements while wearing the captain's armband... No player is bigger than the club.”
“If he's had enough, raise his hand and get the *** out, and we'll move on. No player is bigger than the club, especially one as big as Chelsea.”
“Regardless of what happened, you can't come out and say things like that. You're earning a huge salary at this football club, and you should be grateful for the opportunity to play for a club like Chelsea.”
"When you come out and make statements like that, it's very, very disrespectful to the club and the fans.
