WHAT MARESCA SAID
Speaking to reporters, the Chelsea boss said, “Moi (Caicedo) is so humble, so kind, so good. I think he is one of the best, if not the best defensive midfielder in the world right now. Moi is Moi and he has his personality. He is always changing, he always wants to jump on the pitch and shoot sometimes as he can. But he is an example, and the best thing about Moi is that every day he is working the same way and very seriously and very professional. He is an example.”

Moises Caicedo repaid once again the trust shown in him by Maresca as the midfielder stopped the Spurs attack at regular intervals. The Ecuadorian has been known for his defensive capabilities and has been one of the key players for his club in their quest for the title.
