Mourinho has been praised by manager Mourinho
By Patrick Akoto
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has praised the work ethics of Michael Essien.
The 29-year-old is expected to mark his debut for the Spanish giants tonight after being named in the squad to face Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
The former Lyon man endured a terrible spell at Chelsea where he was restricted to the substitute bench at the start of this season.
But the Ghanaian star has impressed heavily at Madrid’s training grounds and their Portuguese manager has showered praises on the combative enforcer.
“Essien has come with a huge motivation, with the energy of seven years without physical discomfort,” Mourinho said
“Michael has been very nice, I appreciate the gesture.
“Michael has been nice today saying that the most important miss of Real Madrid would be mine, but we are all equal.”

ESSIEN AT HIS WORSE IS MIKEL AT HIS BEST.

Typical Ghanaians with their insecure life and noise making. Talk is cheap, just wait till that ugly Old Essien play before u people start making noise. A lizard in Chelsea can never be a crocoodile in Real Madrid.
its my prayer for Essien to have his day so he can fit into the Madrid team and to cement his position.
Seriously! After all the Hype by GSN I sat infront of my TV waiting anxiously, when Calejon came on ( third sub) all hope go exinquished. When is he palying, GSN?
If the coach is soo much fond of him why bench warming like KAKA?
Essien may God be with u in ur career despensatios
I always pray for U to excel Mark!!!.The Lord is wid U in ur profession.
