Mikel clapping after his club won over the weekend
 
Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel, has opened his goal scoring account in China as he was among the scorers in Tianjin TEDA’s 2-0 win over Chongqing Lifan on Sunday in a Chinese Super League tie.
 
Mikel scored in the 48th minute of Sunday’s game and an own goal from Chongqing Lifan’s Goran Milovic in the 82nd minute sealed a 2-0 win for Tianjin Teda.
 
This is the first win for Tianjin TEDA who started the season on a losing note and then recorded a draw in their second outing of the season.
 
Also in action for Tianjin Teda on Sunday was Mikel’s Nigerian teammate, Brown Ideye, who was replaced in the 65th minute by Dong Wang, as he fired blank.
 
Meanwhile, another Super Eagles star, Odion Ighalo, was on the losing side in the Chinese Super League on Sunday morning as his club, Changchun Yatai were beaten 2-0 at home by Shandong Luneng.
 
Ighalo, who also doubles as Changchun’s captain, led the line for his side, but fired blanks as they suffered yet another defeat which has now seen them slip to the bottom of the league table.
 
Recall that all the Nigerian players in China were snubbed by Coach Genort Rohr for the Super Eagles friendly game against Senegal and the botched game against Burkina Faso

#Football News: 7 Reasons Why Jose Mourinho is Bad For Manchester United

Image
  Jose Mourinho Jose Mourinho is going to be bad news for Manchester United. Oh, I'm sure he'll win matches. He's widely regarded as one of the best managers in the world, speaks five languages, and knows his onions. But in every other respect he's going to make the most irritating football club on the planet even worse. Because Jose is bad for football, full stop. 1. Image rights This is a man who in 2013 sold his autograph. Not an example of his signature, but his actual autograph. The thing he squiggles on cheques, in birthday cards, on his passport. For 10 years. Along with his face. To Roman Abramovich. Lots of footballers do the same in deals about their image rights, but what good has the sale of image rights done for the game? It's made it more expensive, the stars more arrogant, and the fans a little poorer. Someone who was good for football would try to make it less avaricious, and resist the lure of Lucifer's...
