The former Chelsea linked John Obi Mikel marked Nicolas Jackson against Flamengo “stupid mistake” and said his old club lacked leaders.
Jackson is shown a straight red pass card for a four-hearted carpet after replacing for the new signing Liam Delap in Philadelphia, because Chelsea collapsed at 3-1 loss in the World Cup at the club.
Chelsea looked at the competition for a moment after Pedro Net Punching Opener Pedro Net in the first half, but badly defended them twice in three minutes after a pause, with Jackson’s momily after moments later.
The late goal of Wallace Ian sealed the flamengo victory, but Jackson sending, and only six weeks after he saw red for the matman in the Money Defender Sven Botman in the Premier League, there was a dominant point.
Speak on DaznMikel, who won 11 trophies in the 11-year-old magic in Chelsea, said about Jackson’s red card: “Amazing. Stupid, stupid, stupid mistake.
“I don’t know what’s going through his head. Get into the game, you have 2-1 down, you need your team and you do it.
“He did it in the important game of Prime Minister against Newcastle, when we had to win to qualify for champions places, and he did it again.
“You can’t continue to make mistakes.”
Jackson’s red card came after an impressive first start from Delap, signing £ 30m from Ipswich who joined Chelsea to compete for the starting place of Senegal International in the MARESCA team.
“I don’t care what his frustration is,” Mikel added. “Chelsea is a massive football club and it’s about competition.
“If you’re angry, if you are P **** D off, that Delap comes to the club and he will be your competition, you need to hug it.
“If you’re a big player, hug it.
“Jackson has to look at himself and thoughts where he wants his chell her career from here.
“The manager brought the attacker, so now if the manager begins to doubt him, if they constantly make mistakes and releasing their teammates, then it’s time for the decap to start playing.
“Manager has a decision to make now.”
MARESCA would not draw on Jackson sending in your mail interview. “It was a red card, so nothing to say,” he said.
But Chelsea Defender Marc Cucurella defended his team, saying he would learn from it. “It’s a little bad luck,” Cucurella said.
“He tried to put his leg hit the ball, but he kicked the player’s leg. That’s it. I’m missing for the next game now.
“He is a young player with great quality and maybe it has to improve. We are not perfect, it’s part of the game.”
‘Chelsea needs to bring the upper goalkeeper’
Mikel’s criticism was not only directed at Jackson. He felt Chelsea collapse pointed out the lack of leadership in general.
“When talking about leaders, people who can be on the field and control the game and their memory, that’s what Chelsea had when they were at Chelsea club in Chelsea.
“People who can call players around and say,” Listen, to calm down. “I can’t see that here, I just see the players make mistakes.”
Mikel believed that goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was one of those players, next to Jackson.
“I talked about him so many times,” he added. “Sanchez, I don’t think he’s a goalkeeper who can lead us to conquer the title.
“If you want to win titles and become a big football club, you must have a top goalkeeper.
“For me, I told it so many times, he was not that guy, he was not that goalkeeper.
“We have to strengthen this summer and bring the top, the above goalkeeper if we want to compete in terms of winning titles.”
The defeat of Flamengo leaves Chelsea second in Group D at the World Cup, three points behind Flamengo’s leader to face its final group against ES Tunisia on Wednesday.
