This is an example of the humility of Moises Caicedo that he is more comfortable saying that he is the best table tennis player, rather than saying that he is the best midfielder in the world.
The 23 -year -old put an end to the debate on his costs of 115 million pounds from Brighton in a season where he started each first League match for Chelsea, played more minutes than anyone and is now considered one of the club players with Cole Palmer.
The Ecuador midfielder also won the Chelsea player of the year and the prices of the player of the players.
When asked if he was among the best in the world in his position, Caicedo replied: “I don’t think I work on it. I want to become one of the best fields in the world but I’m too far at the moment.
“I work hard every day and I want to show it on the field.”
A final of the Club World Cup against the laureates of the Champions League, Paris St-Germain, has the chance to prove himself in a way he cannot be refused such a status.
“Yes, exactly,” he added. “I want to make discussions on the field, showing my big football, then people can talk about me.
“You know that people always speak when you are well. Even when they say bad things, I don’t care because I just want to help my team and I focus on it.”
In this tournament of more than a month in the United States, Chelsea players spent a lot of time together and, with regard to a club tennis tournament in the different team hotels, Caicedo insists in this arena, he is the best.
“Yes, I’m the best to that … I’m the best, I’m the best!” He added laughing. “It’s good, fun and we had a good time and a lot of laughter. Who is the worst? I won’t say that!”
There were doubts about the physical form of Caicedo for the centerpiece of Sunday after being released early with a problem of ankle in the victory in the semi-finals on Fluminense, but there were positive news when he trained with the team on Thursday.
