Maresca picks “the good thing” that makes “unbelievable” record signing so good | OneFootball

Moises Caicedo is facing off against his old team tonight, so there’s been plenty of attention on him in the build-up to the game.

Enzo Maresca was asked to speak about him a little in the press conference before the game and he was glowing about the midfielder and what he brings to the team. In particular he noted how he made those around him better:

“The good thing about Moi is whoever is playing next to Moi is playing good. When you find a player like Moi that makes the players next to them better, it shows how good they are,” the manager said.

“All the players that have played next to Moi this season – Enzo [Fernandez], Kiernan [Dewsbury-Hall], Romeo [Lavia], Renato [Veiga] when he was with us – they are doing well and it is probably because the one next to them is good and helps them on the pitch.

“So Moi is a fantastic player, not just because of him, but also because he is making the rest better.”

There’s no doubt about that – we dread to think how this team would look without it’s box to box star, who without doubt makes everyone function better.

Chelsea player can cement his status as league’s best

Declan Rice is one of the best in the league in that position, and was the player Chelsea really wanted before they eventually had to settle for Caicedo. The now Arsenal midfielder called the Ecuador star “unbelievable” before their matchup in November.

It just shows how his reputation is growing – if he keeps playing like this there will be no doubts about his status as one of the league’s best. Now let’s sign him some backup so he can get a rest sometime…
