No Special Treatment For Mikel At Tianjin Teda : Has A Roommate, No Food/Accommodation Provided

Published: January 10, 2017

John Obi Mikel is not getting any special treatment from Tianjin Teda despite the holding midfielder being their marquee signing in the January transfer window.

Before signing the contract, Tianjin Teda chiefs informed the Nigeria skipper that they were aware feeding and accommodation arrangements were excellent at Chelsea but he’ll not get that at the club because they want to maintain equality and he accepted.

Netease Sports says Tianjin Teda are happy with the manner in which Mikel has comported himself since his arrival at their training camp in Malaga and his relationship with his new teammates.

The Nigeria captain is not enjoying the treatment of being the biggest player in the team and has been paired with a roommate.

He trained with his new teammates for the first time on Sunday morning and left a good impression.
