John Obi Mikel was very angry at Jadon Sancho's recent performance.
The British Daily Mail highlighted on the 17th (Korea time) that Chelsea legend Mikel appeared on his YouTube channel and presented critical opinions on various topics such as Chelsea's move and Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca.
Mikel drew criticism not only from the club and the manager, but also from the players. The first player the arrow headed was Sancho. Sancho left Manchester United for Chelsea in the transfer window last summer. Manchester United have included a full recruitment clause, handing over Sancho, whom they had acquired for 85 million euros (about W128.3 billion) on loan in the 2021-2022 season, which is priced at just 30 million euros (about W45 billion).
Sancho has been extremely sluggish at Manchester United and has also caused problems with former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag. Manchester United had to release the Sancho unconditionally from the team, so they sold the Sancho even at the cost of a huge loss. Sancho appeared to show the 'post-Manchester United effect after leaving Manchester United. Sancho, who helped to score the winning goal on his Chelsea debut, appeared to have successfully settled for Chelsea with three consecutive games of assistance.
He scored two goals and three assists in his first nine league games for Chelsea, making Manchester United think that they failed to use Sancho properly. However, in the last 12 games, Sancho has fallen into a serious slump with only one assist. It's very rare to show a presence on the field. Even considering that Chelsea has been on the decline since December, Sancho's performance is not easy to watch.
In response, Mikel "No one is telling Sancho. Sancho should have tackled unconditionally during the first run. But to Sancho, what the hell are you doing?There is no one to tell me ' he opened his mouth.
He said "Sancho tricked us with a couple of good performances at first. He may have thought he had recruited Sancho during his time at Dortmund, but he disappeared again. I can't see it from the stadium. He doesn't break through when he gets the ball, he doesn't create chances anymore. Sancho is not helping the team as much as he should"I strongly criticized him.
The reason why the criticism against Sancho is so loud is that Sancho's annual salary is enormous. Sancho received 250,000 pounds (about 455 million won) a week from Manchester United alone. Chelsea are reportedly paying much of Sancho's salary by bringing him on loan. Considering the size of Chelsea's current salary, Sancho may be one of Chelsea's top payers. Therefore, if it is this sluggish, it will inevitably be criticized.
In recent years, there have been many players who have left Manchester United and are playing crazy, but Sancho has not been able to properly show the 'post-Man U effect'.
