After a slow start at Chelsea and facing criticism from football experts, Moises Caicedo has overcome the challenges and is now determined to become a legend at the club. The Ecuadorian midfielder, who was signed for a record-breaking £115m from Brighton in August 2023, has finally found his footing under the guidance of manager Enzo Maresca.
It was not an easy transition for Caicedo, who had to adjust to a new club and playing style. But with perseverance and the support of his teammates, the 22-year-old has shown significant improvement and is now a key player for the Blues. In an interview with the Chelsea website, Caicedo opened up about his initial struggles and how he has adapted to the club.
"At the beginning of last season, it was a little bit tough for me," Caicedo shared ahead of Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest. "It's a very big club and you have to get used to it. I learned a lot. When someone new comes in with new ways, you need to adapt: to a new club and playing with the impression that you need to win every game."
But now, Caicedo feels more settled and confident in his abilities. He credits his teammates for their support on and off the pitch, and is enjoying his time at Chelsea. "As I said when I arrived here, I would like to become a legend here and that's what I'm working hard to do every day. That's the target," he stated.
Last season, Caicedo faced criticism from pundits such as Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Frank Leboeuf, who wrote him off as a flop. Even former Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic expressed frustration that the club chose to sign Caicedo over Declan Rice. However, Caicedo is not bothered by the negative comments and is focused on proving his worth to the team.
Despite the criticism, Caicedo remains determined to become a legend at Chelsea and is grateful for the opportunity to play for such a prestigious club. With his improved performance and the support of his teammates, he is well on his way to achieving his target. And in the end, that's all that matters to him.
