MIKEL SAYS HIS GOALS COMING
Chelsea star Mikel Obi believes he will soon score his first goal in the English Premier League after six years.
The Nigeria midfielder came close to breaking his duck against Stoke City on Saturday, but his goal-bound effort was blocked, meaning he has now gone 165 EPL games for ‘The Blues’ without a goal.
Mikel told MTNFootball.com that he is so optimistic that if given the role he played on Saturday more often, he will score goals this season.
“My lack of goals in EPL does not worry me so much, because I have been doing my job well though I wanted to get goals no matter how few but my positions have denied me that, but my role on Saturday against Stoke City was different as I joined the attack often and almost scored,” he said.
“I am sure I will get goals this season if I continue to get such a role. It is a matter of time before I will break the jinx.
“I thought the ball had crossed the goal line on Saturday only for the Stoke defender to throw himself at the shot to block it. I will do more to score this season.”
On the entire game, Mikel said Stoke had a game plan which almost worked, but he was happy Chelsea have maintained their unbeaten run in EPL this term.
