Essien returns for battle against Levante

MARCA.COM

When the pitch becomes a minefield and a battle-hardened army rises before his men, Colonel Mourinho withdraws the fragile soldier Modric to make way for Sergeant Essien.
The Ghanaian inspires complete trust in Mourinho and fights, tussles, works and sacrifices for his superior, who is well aware of the performance Essien can provide in this sort of game. His experience is a key factor behind Colonel Mou putting him in charge of his army.
The game in Valencia against Levante promises to a complicated and tough match, ideal for Essien’s talents. Mourinho is betting on the Ghanaian to help him face the harsh challenge of the Ciudad de Valencia, a stadium which the Portuguese coach has yet to leave alive.
In order to assure victory in the battle, Essien will take control of the centre of the pitch alongside Xabi Alonso, replacing Modric – a talented strategist, but somewhat frail for this kind of fight.
The Ghanaian knows that he will have to give his all to dispel the doubts which arose during his first game and intensified with his performances at left back. If he manages to come out of the clash with honours, he will have earned his place as the go-to guy for the difficult games. If he fails, rumours may begin to circulate of his withdrawal to the reserves for a time.
