though they crumbled to the Buccaneers of the
League in an amicable encounter.
John Obi Mikel opened his Tianjin TEDA account as
they crumbled 6-2 to St. Pauli FC on Saturday.
The signing of Mikel, coupled with other advents in
Jaime Pacheco's squad were betokened to invigorate
the squad after a poor outing last season, but they
bowed to 2-1 to Borussia Mönchengladbach in their
pre-season outing.
Against the German second division outfit, they
perpetuated their losing streak but the 29-year-old
gave a glimpse of his stellar quality when he
headed in a free kick to reduce the deficit for his
team who were three goals down.
Despite the heftily ponderous defeat, Mikel will be heavily
tipped to relish a fine season with the Chinese
Super League, having impressed for Chelsea last
term afore the advent of manager Antonio Conte.
