Michael Obi, the father of the Chelsea star, Mikel Obi, has ruled out
his son’s exit from the club in the nearest future. Instead he foresees a
brighter future for his son in Chelsea.
Chelsea on Sunday night won prestigious European
Champions League for the first time by upstaging Bayern Munich 4-3 in a
pulsating 120-minute match after the match ended 1-1 at regulation and
extra time.
Obi told our correspondent in an interview in Jos on Monday that he had no iota of doubt that Chelsea would win the match.
He said that even before the match Mikel had
predicted that Chelsea would carry the day, adding that his optimism was
reinforced by his firm belief in God. He said that it was the same
prediction he made when the club defeated Barcelona to reach the finals
of the competition.
Obi added that even when Bayern Munich was leading by
one goal about five minutes to regulation time, his optimism was not
daunted.
“We placed our faith in God because we prayed
fervently before and during the match. Even many Nigerians, we are sure,
were praying for Chelsea. My son predicted that by the power of God,
they would win the cup. It would appear that God spoke through him
because his prediction came to pass.
“Once one is with Jesus Christ, they will always
triumph. My family rely on God no more no less and we believe that
anything can happen with God.”
The transporter said that he does not see Mikel leaving Chelsea for now, adding that his best in the club was yet to come.
