Mikel fires Chelsea warning

Midfielder John Obi
Mikel has warned
Chelsea that “fancy
football” will get them
nowhere this season if
they forget to do the
basics.
Last season’s
Champions League
victory was built on
solid defence, but
Roberto Di Matteo has
introduced a more
expansive style this
season.
The Italian has been
rewarded with eight
goals in three straight
league victories, but his
side were picked off at
will by Atletico Madrid
in a Super Cup
thrashing in Monaco.
And Mikel said: “It is a
kick up the backside.
We have to keep our
heads up and make
sure it doesn’t happen
again.
“Sometimes it’s not
just about playing
fancy football, it’s
about putting a shift in
and everyone
defending together.
