By Tony Jimenez LONDON, April 29 (Reuters) - John Obi Mikel is a Jekyll and Hyde player who often looks a totally different performer in the green of Nigeria than he does in Chelsea blue. However, when he is on international duty he plays with a freedom and swagger that belies his status as a defensive rock at Chelsea. Mikel was runner-up behind midfielder Yaya Toure of Ivory Coast and Manchester City in the African Footballer of the Year Award for 2013, after helping his country win last year's Nations Cup in South Africa. Goals have never been his forte at Chelsea though as four strikes in more than 300 appearances testify.
