“Have not done anything yet” “Is time to show myself more” – Chelsea star send clear message to Chelsea fans
In response to comparisons to Blues greats Claude Makelele and N’Golo Kante, Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has urged supporters to let him leave his mark at Stamford Bridge.
The Ecuadorian international respectfully dismissed the comparisons made between him and the legendary midfield pair in an interview with Chelsea’s official website.
“They won a lot of things for Chelsea, and I didn’t do anything yet,” Caicedo admitted.
“But they did a lot of things, so I just try to watch some videos of them, to learn how they played midfield and a bit of their personality. And I think I’m doing well, but they did a lot here. For sure, I didn’t do anything yet. But I want to reach what they achieved.”
Despite admiring their achievements, Caicedo emphasised his individuality as a player.
He went on: “Yeah, every player is different. They were my idols… they are my idols! Sometimes I watch their videos to learn more, but I’m Moises Caicedo, and I want to write my own history, and that’s what I’m doing.”
While respectful of Makelele and Kante’s legacy, the 22-year-old is determined to establish his unique contribution to Chelsea’s future success.
