“I love to playing with him”…Moises Caicedo names the Chelsea star he absolutely loves sharing the pitch with
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has found camaraderie and synergy on the pitch alongside Enzo Fernandez since joining the team last summer. Despite Chelsea’s league position not fully reflecting their talent, the Mauricio Pochettino-led squad boasts skilled individuals, including the 23-year-old Fernandez.
Caicedo, signed from Brighton & Hove Albion in August, expressed his enjoyment playing alongside Fernandez, emphasizing their shared understanding on the field. Both South American players have been pivotal for Pochettino this season, making 34 appearances each in various competitions.
Addressing the partnership with Fernandez, Caicedo stated, “It’s easy to play with him. We have the same language on the pitch and help each other. We enjoy when we win and we are frustrated when we lose.”
While Manchester United legend Paul Ince suggests Caicedo has evolved since his time at Brighton, he advocates for giving the Ecuadorian more time to fully acclimate to his role at Chelsea.
Fernandez, an Argentina international, has become an integral part of the team, showcasing his prowess on the ball and playmaking abilities. His passing statistics reflect his impact, with an average of 60.6 passes per game in the Premier League, ranking fourth in Pochettino’s squad. Additionally, his proficiency in delivering long balls, with an average of 4.3, surpasses that of any other outfield player at Stamford Bridge.
In recent matches, Fernandez has not only been instrumental in orchestrating play but has also contributed to the scoreline, netting impressive goals against Aston Villa in an FA Cup replay and Crystal Palace in a London derby. His multifaceted contributions make him an ideal teammate, and it’s evident why Caicedo values their partnership on the field
