Mikel reveals: I left because of Conte

John Obi Mikel who currently plays for the Chinese side has revealed about his exit from Chelsea in January 2017, saying he had to leave the club because of Italian manager Antonio Conte.

''Chelsea was nowhere near what it is 10, 15 years ago. There are players that build and build and build, then it’s all about respect.''

''My connection with the club has not changed because of the manager or because of a certain person.

''My relationship with the club remains. I am a blue and I want to remain that way for years and years to come.''
