Chelsea's John Obi Mikel changes his name after Nigeria mistake 13 years ago
Tuesday 2 August 2016
Chelsea fans are no strangers to multiple monikers given their recent
history of Brazilian talents, but it's not often that an established
Stamford Bridge star makes an official name change midway through their
career.
球迷们对巴西球员千变万化的绰号应该不陌生，但效力多年的球员如今改了名字..？
Mikel was born John Michael Nchekwube Obinna (the son of Michael Obi) in
1987, but a mistake in 2003 changed things for the midfielder.
麦克˙欧比的儿子 － 1987年出生的中场球员约翰˙麦克˙Nchekwube˙欧比纳，因
为2003年的一个失误，让名字错到今天....
During the registration process for the 2003 Fifa Under-17 World
Championships, the Nigeria Football Association mistakenly submitted
'Michael' as 'Mikel' for the tournament in Finland.
原来是2003年U17世界杯报名时，奈国足协把麦克的名字弄成米克尔。
The competition ended in disappointment as Nigeria failed to qualify from
their group despite Mikel scoring during a win against Australia, but the
midfielder decided to keep his new name.
该年赛事不如人意，但他却把新名字米克尔留下了。
The Chelsea midfielder says the mistake had a “special ring to it,” and
from joining Chelsea in 2006 he went by 'Mikel John Obi' instead of 'John
Obi Mikel.'
2006年加盟时他用的是 '米克尔˙约翰˙欧比' ，而不是 '约翰˙欧比˙米克尔' 。
And the midfielder has now decided to officially change his full name to
Mikel John Obi.
如今他的正式名字就是 '米克尔˙约翰˙欧比' 了。
But Chelsea fans need not worry about their new 2016/17 replica shirts
need not worry as 'Mikel/12' will stay on the jersey.
球迷免担心，因为新球衣上还是会印12号米克尔。
