Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has praised midfielder Moises Caicedo before their FIFA Club World Cup match against Flamengo. The Italian coach highlighted the player's ability to adapt and his strong work habits. Maresca believes Caicedo can play almost any position on the field except goalkeeper. The midfielder joined Chelsea from Brighton back in 2023 and has become a key player for the team. He was the only Chelsea player to start every single Premier League game during the 2024/25 season.
Caicedo originally played as a defensive midfielder but Maresca has moved him around the pitch. The manager has used him in attacking midfield roles and even as a right back. The 23-year-old Ecuadorian has performed well no matter where he plays on the field. His versatility has impressed everyone at the club. Chelsea fans have watched him excel in multiple positions throughout the campaign.
During his press conference before the Flamengo game, Maresca spoke about Caicedo's talents. The former Leicester City manager said the player performs well everywhere except maybe in goal. He expressed how pleased Chelsea feels about having Caicedo as their defensive midfielder. Maresca thinks he ranks among the world's best players in that position. The midfielder also leads the Premier League in winning back possession from opponents.
