Please invite Eden Hazard next!!!! It would be the funniest podcast ever i can feel it 🤣💙
no costa would be the funniest
@@chinengamweemba5926 he can't speak english bro
Early for Hazard.
this comment needs suport with 1000 comments guys , lets make 1000 comments here if you wanna see Hazzard on the podcast i know they will invite him ,come on
Bring on Eden Hazard
The most hardworking winger Chelsea had. That attacking front line was insane. Drogba, Malouda, Anelka, Kalou...
Under Amcelotti was insane
INDEED 💯%
Cos they all spoke French 😂
Ni
Chelsea team in 09/10 was the best. The Diamond midfield shape was superb, Chelsea won all the big teams. " The likes of DD, Super Frankie, Captain JT, The Bison Essien, the Makelele role, the Ashley, fantastic Ballack, Mikel, Kalou, Angela, The big Pete.. Oh my God. Expectational team.
When you really deep it Chelsea Football Club had ballers. Malouda was one of them and he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. So glad he gets this opportunity to come on The Obi One Podcast...LET'S GO!!!
leaders among leaders
AVB was an arrogant cunt something he proved in every club he’s been at since he was sacked. Making Malouda, PL and CL winner that always gave his all. to train with u21s cause he didn’t want to leave is one thing that will always have me rank AVB as the worst manager in the entire time I’ve been a Chelsea supporter, which stretches back to the late 80s. I was so mad that year, if I met AVB in the street at the time, I’d probably still be in prison today.
People talk about Zidane in the 2006 world cup but the real stars of that France team were Ribery and Malouda. Zidane really stepped in the quarter and finals.
The thing is that back in the day wingers played a bit deeper and their role was to cross the ball. Modern day wingers in 4-3-3 are basically forwards thats why their goal scoring records are much better.
So to look at Malouda fairly or any winger lets say pre 2010 you would have to look at their goals + assist.
This is the best podcast by far to get the inside information we would never have known about Chelsea
Malouda is such a brilliant, analytical guest. My best guest on the podcast so far.
I dare say he'll make a good manager/assistant manager too.
This podcast is the best thing that happened for Chelsea fans……💙💙💙💙💙 its so refreshing to hear these stories from Chelsea Legends…….I want DROGBA!
Free of funny agendas as well. I love it
Drogba is coming. He confirmed it via a video. Can't wait mate 😂
If Malouda can become a permanent member of this podcast, i would love it.
I swear...man is so funny 😅
I think Petr Cech's impact on the 2012 UCL isn't recognized or discussed a lot. He's one man I would like to see next and hear his own side of the story.
I was gonna say this man
Nobody is talking about the extra time saves or the double saves in the shout-out
for me he was the biggest part of that win but the amazing thing is everyone on that team and even the short cameos of torres was wonderful bc everyone did their job and played to the absalute peak of their ability considering the old age and injuries. But everyone did their job in their moments. cech was solid from beginning to end. torres came on to win us a corner. drogba was clutch when it mattered. lamps and mikel made us a threat on the counter. it was wild
The podcasts with Drogba and Hazard will be electric
I once met Malouda when I was working at the airport. Asked him why he wasn't playing, he said "Problems with Mourinho" with a smile on his face. Proper humble/nice guy
Loved Malouda at Chelsea. He is probably an underappreciated contributor to our success.
Finally we have a Chelsea space in the media world
From JT, Lampard, and now Malouda. One thing has remained constant: the mentality of the then Chelsea players was off the roof. This is what has been missing in the current Chelsea team, but fortunately enough, Pochettino is bringing that back.
glad ur seeing it too. lads like james gallagher and palmer are bringing that old aura back
after newcastle i am afraid my trust keeps getting smaller everyday @@Sh1nobiOne
that comment Hasn't aged well ,
Thank you for having a few of our favorite Chelsea legends on your podcast right away! Malouda was an important player for us! 🇫🇷 🇳🇬 💙
Malouda, Anelka and Drogba 08-10 amazing frontline
We need an episode of Hazard and Ivanovic😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Then you want to laugh for the rest of your life 🤣🤣🤣
Finally a Chelsea Legend giving us a Podcast. On behalf of South African Chelsea fans thank you🙏🏼
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
😎
"I think that night...brought me and Frank closer."
Ahhhh that brought tears to my eyes for real man.
It's amazing how time and chance (circumstance) has a way of speaking about our true character. What we thought was only a battle for a champions league cup was also a beautiful challenge to establish a strong relationship between two wonderful people.
Malouda is a very intelligent man!
Big up to Malouda such an intelligent and great talker. LEGEND
Malouda is one of my favourite Chelsea players ever. I remember under Carlo Ancelotti, he was absolutely amazing, scoring goals for fun as well as creating chances. Chelsea Legend. I have enjoyed his interview a lot.
1:12:20
Savage comment by Mikel on Rashford's bdae controversy 😂😂
Malouda is really really intelligent. Intellectually stimulating conversation.
As a true blue, I’m so happy and appreciative for this podcast. I can’t believe Mikel didn’t mentioned Cesc Fabregas as one of the best passer of the ball he played with.
Florent has always been the forgotten legend in Chelsea. So glad to hear from him in this in-depth interview
Carvalho
I’ve really missed seeing malouda, he was a delight to watch and always reliable..
I thought he was a African player, I used to call him African Messi 😂😂😂
Malouda, love his mentality, he speaks so well and articulates his thoughts very well. Comes with so much good vibes. ❤️😂
I think every current Chelsea player should be mandated to follow this podcast.
Not sure if ALL current players deserve to be on this podcast with all of these legends.
Not a hater tho I love chelsea in and out 💙
Glad Malouda gave Mikel his flowers! I remember watching and was blown away this 24 year old was the heart of it all that game!
Bruh thats what we need right now. Need a strong captain most of the players respect to rise up and set the culture and standard
I hope the new Chelsea plays are listening and learning what standards we had at Chelsea
Yes ooo. I hope so too. These legends are the reason why players nowadays want to play for Chelsea. They created a great memory for the club
Like they don’t know !!
Brilliant, I hope non Chelsea fans watch this podcast and understand Chelsea is more than football its a way of life
You're right ❤❤❤
Chelsea fans needed this podcast absolute gold
Florent is very funny . I had no idea what to expect but I have been delightfuly surprised
Underrated player, doesn't get his flowers 4 chelsea 09/10 was one of his best seasons 💯💥💥💥
i love how calm and collected Malouda is. great interview
having interviews with Torres, Essien,it will be great
Chelsea was like a family. I really miss those days, i also sometimes don't understand or relate with this current Chelsea apart from colors. Thank you our own Mikel Obi for bringing back these memories
This is now my new favourite CZcams channel
I think this is the best podcast so far.
Florent Malouda the unsung chelsea hero.
This the first time i see him talking, really intelegent talker and very entertaiment
thank god this just dropped, i was so bored looking for something to watch😭
This podcast is unbelievable. I NEED ESSIEN!!!!!
This is podcast reminds us of how powerful CFC was, nostalgia heaven. The Chelsea players should watch this and gain inspiration and capture the spirit that is Chelsea Football club
Malouda speaks like a manager. Whats up Coach Fro
I'd love to see Petr Cech next. Flo is beast ♾️
Malouda was very underrated.
He was an utility player back in his days.
He could cover up for any position on the pitch.
Great bit on Anelka. Truly underrated player and greatly misunderstood.
this is a personal dream episode for me! malouda was the reason i started supporting chelsea💙💙 big up FLOMO and MIKEL! real chelsea
A complete baller!
Mikel Obi, this is how we perceived you those days, most fans feel you were very pompous while playing at Chelsea, but you became matured when you single handedly funded the Olympic team in 2016 in Rio. Can you tell us what happened between you and Tuface Idibia that prompted him to release a song referring to you. I love your podcast. Welldone
Malouda was great winger in his days. Deadly left foot. Glad he won the ucl with us. Sometimes it goes unnoticed. Alwsys put in a graft for the badge.
Love the podcast! And Malouda was a great guest! I appreciate that he stood up for Anelka. I don't think its fair to say that Anelka didn't care about missing the penalty against United. In his documentary, he said he feels that his whole Chelsea career was a failure for missing the penalty, and that he feels like he was a traitor because of it.
And he had a great career at Chelsea
Great point. John Obi doesn’t seem to know much about Anelka pre Chelsea. He thinks Anelka is some ok player. I get that he respects Drogba and the journey man and career issues he had. But guys like Gary Neville, Jaap Stam, Ferdinand and Roy Keane respect Anelka a lot because they played against him in his early years. One of the most talented strikers in PL history.
As a Chelsea fan we need our Legends to go into the current dressing room and let them know we have to win a Throphy 🤷🏿♂️4 place is not the topic but a Throphy
Malouda is intelligent wow. Respect ✊🏿
All three guests have either said or hinted that training was harder than most games. Top mentality.
This Podcast should have had a millon subscribers yesterday.
Obi, if you are EVER able to get Jose on the podcast then it would be the insight of all insights into the start of Chelsea winning ways - something I think ALL FOOTBALL FANS (not just Chelsea) would appreciate 👌🏽💙
So good to see the Champions League Winners coming together and Support your Podcast channel. Please call everyone from the Champions League, Europa League Team Mates to your channel THE OBI ONE...pls pls pls💙💙💙💙💙Beeding Blue Blood..Up To CHELS!
I think this is surprisingly the most interesting episode so far
i loved him as that strong winger. and now i know hes genuine . Very honest
Florent what a gent! so refreshing to listen to this man 🥂
Really love Malouda altitude. I found him matured, confident and multi-dimensional man. Thank Obi Michael for inviting him.
Maluda was forced out of the team, but he refused. He was even banished to the reserve team to train until the end of his contract. Questions on this would have added value to the interview
Obi Podcast The Best So Far
The best podcast i have watched so far, i hope our current team, players are watching this. They need to see the spirit and feeling of what Playing for Chelsea MEANS
Malouda my top 5 favorite Chelsea players, what a legend
Production and guests on fire, not to mention you boys hosting
The year we won double . Malouda on the wingers was magical . Wow what a player . Remember the Hull city game
Smart! Never knew Malouda was this smart. Love it!
He’s very smart
@batiso very obvious when he speaks
Well-done Mikel for being part of the football game once again! kudos for continuing the positive impact in your own way to Chelsea F.C and the game of football in general. As a great Chelsea football Fan, I humbly use this medium to plead you equally use your podcast to convey strategies in returning Chelsea F.C to glory. Pundits and analyst should be invited to talk on how the club can be as formidable as was your play time in Chelsea. I don't want to believe you aren't equally feeling disappointed on how Chelsea has been playing below average for the past seasons. Being trophyless for a couple of seasons hasn't been much humiliating like having a team that is not known for any style or pattern. Their lack of tenacity and commitment is outrageous. I believe you can pull some strings in influencing a better Chelsea in your own way. Thanks
I really love the obi mikel and taiye taiwo eras for Nigeria...i grew up watching them at the U17 world cup playing against nessi in the final, what memories
Need to bring the Special One next. Would be a blast
Not sure if Hazard is good with English but we need him here 💙
It’s such a great interview.
We need those guys around the club at the moment !
This show is just immense to watch. The background we get into Chelseas most successful era is brilliant.
Flo Malouda took a little bit of them to settle in at Chelsea but man when he arrived, he ARRIVED. Lit up the league so he did.
Here's hoping we can see the main man Jose on the podcast soon 🙏 😅 that will be mayhem!
Claude Makéléle, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, and King Didier Drogba please
Can’t wait for the next one!
Please do one with hazard as well
This is the best episode ever been laughing 😅 ever since
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that story of the Coach's book of tactics has killed me
Classic interview!!! Thanks Jon Obi Mikel 💙
Excellent player . Loved watching him play for Chelsea
first interview i watched from malouda
great and humble guy ❤🎉
Yesssssss!!!!!!!!
All I can say is "The Obi One podcast" is a very inspiring one, and I feel motivated to hear their stories from they themselves and not the media, nice one there Mikel and his partner 👊
This was podcast gold! loved every second of it!
The Best podcast I’ve seen in a minute. Elite episode
This is really lovely to watch. 💙💙💙
Thank you Jon for this podcast. Such a nice trip down memory lane!
My favourite episode so far 🤣 what a character and what a player Florent was
Cant wait to listen to the whole thing👍🏽
Goosebumps just watching you boys 💙💙💙 memories 💙💙💙
Legends
cheers Mikel for the podcasts really enjoying them
Thank you Mikel. We needed this. You’re serving and gifting the world
It's like you heard my thoughts without me even having to comment. This podcast NEEDS TO BE LIVE, no zoom, no Skype and guess what the podcast goes into another stratosphere! This era of Chelsea was what I remember most fondly in football as a fan!
Obi, Flo....Chelsea legends! ✌️
The podcast studio is in Dubai . Its hard to get people live
@@amusirmyvotejosef8439 that's a shame because there's a totally different feeling to over webcam. No delay, real connection real energy ect ect. It's night and day for me. Actually stopped watching the Frank interview, and I was interested, just because of the webcam element of it tbh.
I love this bro!! Keep it up
Don’t make em like malouda anymore this is a Chelsea fans absolute dream this a legends the era I grew up with!!
Such an easy going hardworker and soft spoken gentleman
Couldn’t wait to see Malouda play and he scored in the Charity shield against United and man I was so happy. It was such a great goal coming from the wing
Brilliant Podcast!! 👏
