'Legends' John Obi Mikel strongly criticized Nikola Jackson. Chelsea lost 1-3 in the second Group D match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup against Flamengo at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on the 21st (Korea time). Chelsea, which was trying to secure its advance to the round of 16, fell to second place due to the loss on the day. Flamengoo instead took the lead with two consecutive wins.
Chelsea showed a strong commitment to victory, including Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Liam Delap and Pedro Netu. In the 13th minute of the first half, he scored the first goal and got off to a good start. Netu scored in a counterattack. Chelsea finished 1-0 in the first half.
The second half of the game was twisted. Bruno Henrique, who was replaced in the 11th minute of the second half, equalized in the 17th minute. Chelsea put in Jackson in the 19th minute to make a difference. Danilu scored in the 20th minute and Jackson was sent off in the 23rd minute. Red carded for a violent tackle. It was only four minutes into the game.

After the game, Mikel said "Jackson? Don't let me say it again. Unbelievable."It's a stupid, stupid, stupid mistake. I don't know what's in my head." Then "The team needs help, and the player should do so. It was the same against Newcastle and again this time. It doesn't matter what he's dissatisfied with."
The two are bitter rivals. Mikel has strongly criticized Jackson in the past. Towards Jackson, who had his worst performance early last season "Chelsea created an opportunity, but didn't save it at all. It was a game that showed how Jackson was so determined."Look at how he shot past two or three people. Chelsea need a striker to score." Then "I know I talk about him too much. It may seem disrespectful of him, but it's not like that at all."Chelsea needs a top striker who can score goals. A player like Holan who scored 91 goals for Manchester City."
Jackson then tagged Mikel on his social media story after the game and said "Shut up, don't talk like that. We're pouring everything for Africa." The two have since exchanged several war of words.
