Chelsea’s Ghanaian midfielder Michael Essien did not have a very good last season as he missed almost half of the season through injury. He did not have a very good start to the season and Chelsea’s new manager Carlo Ancelotti initially preferred John Obi Mike over Essien and once said that the Nigerian had all the abilities to be the regular playmaker of his side.
However, the recent strong performance from Michael Essien seems to have impressed the Italian manager. In the win over Liverpool, Essien was awesome and did not let Gerrard become a threat for Chelsea defense. His performance against Tottenham Hotspur and APOEL Nicosia in Europe also proved once again that Essien deserves the regular spot in Chelsea line up.
