Mikel: When my father was kidnapped, Abu said he could bring him back if he was given 24 hours.

In 2003, Russian tycoon Abramovich took over Chelsea. He successfully made the Blues a top club in European football. However, in 2022, Abramovich had to sell the club. Regarding Abramovich's character, former Chelsea midfielder Mikel recalled a past event that moved him very much.

Mikel said: "Abu is like this, he cares about everyone, including players and fans. I remember one time my father was kidnapped and he called me. He cared about me very much and asked me what I needed and if I knew how to get my father back. I said: 'I don't know, I haven't contacted the kidnapper yet.' He said: 'Okay, listen, if you agree to give me 24 hours, I will bring your father home. '"

"I was like: 'Oh my God, he is in Nigeria, you don't know where he is, how can you bring him back? ' But he said: 'Don't worry, I will bring him back. That's his style. "

" Abramovich's love for the players and the club is like this. The reason why we are the Chelsea we are today is all because of him. We have won numerous trophies and now we are one of the biggest clubs in the world, all thanks to Abramovich. "
