Chelsea Star is even more little useful than Caicedo

After a generally miserable September, October certainly started with a blow for Chelsea.
After three Premier League games without victory, including successive defeats, the Blues rebounded in a certain style on Saturday, beating the Liverpool 2-1 champions at Stamford Bridge.
Moisés Caicedo broke the early blocking with an absolute rocket, only for Liverpool to equalize right after the hour, how most spectators, including Gary Neville on the comments for Sky Sports, expected the visitors to continue and claim victory.
Well, this was certainly not the case because, after inzo Fernández had seen a head in mind, the post of Marc Cucurella was returned to his house by is the Made Willian at the rear post, causing wild celebrations in the stand of Matthew Harding and beyond.
While the winner of the match, is the headlines, one of the newspapers, one of the most experienced players in Chelsea presented an exceptional display under the radar.
The importance of Caicedo Milies for Chelsea
As indicated on the official Liverpool website, yes, the Reds concluded an agreement of 110 million pounds sterling with Brighton to sign Caicedo in August 2023, only for the equator to join in Place Chelsea, stressing what the Merseysiders missed by marking this amazing strike to open the score.
Even in parking on the goal on one side, Caicedo put an exceptional screen, controlling the midfielder alongside Fernández, the pair stressing why Chelsea was willing to spend more than 220 million pounds sterling to recruit the duo.
Speaking on Sky Sports after full time, Jamie Redknapp latted Caicedo “one of the best in the world”, adding that he is “incredible” out of possession, concluding that he “has no weakness” and could be the man who brings the days of glory to Stamford Bridge.
Since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital took over the club three years ago, just to say that a lot of money was spent, but few players have proven their value like the equator.
However, one of the local graduates of the Cobham Academy in Chelsea also appeared, which suggests that he could be the most impatient player of Enzo Maresca.
Chelsea Defender plays against Liverpool
Although he had the largest football team, Enzo Maresca was in naked bones in terms of central rear by the end of the famous victory on Saturday.
First, Trevoh Chalobah’s red card against Brighton said he was suspended, while Tosin Adarabioyo, Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill have all missed because of an injury.
Then, during the match, the two members of the Defensive Departure Association, namely Benoît Badidshiles and Josh Achapong, were forced to leave due to injuries, therefore, at the time of the winning goal, Jorrel Hato was alongside Reece James in the heart of the defense.
The club captain started the evening in his usual position at the right back, Maresca experimenting Malo Gusto in the midfield, but wherever the international in England was deployed, he presented an exceptional display, such as the documents in the table below.

While the table documents, James was absolutely the key to Chelsea’s victory.
He ranked first for the plated, the defensive actions, the blocks, the duels won, the air duels won and the keys, also ending the second most important passes of any player on the field, behind only Virgil Van Dijk, while Cucurella was the only man lying in blue to record more key passes.
This not only underlines its defensive meaning, but also its quality on the ball.
After the victory of the Chelsea league of the Chelsea conference against København in Parken in March, speaking on TNT Sport, Joe Cole said that James was as good as any rear-back in the world, while thinking that he could be best used in the midfield, something Maresca has done a lot since his arrival a year ago.
Be that as it may, in the back or in the middle, James stressed that he should be on the ground as much as possible, while recognizing that his minutes must be carefully managed, taking into account his history of treacherous injuries.
Thus, while each transfer window is dominated by Chelsea spending hundreds of millions for new signatures, the captain, who has been with the club since the age of six, continues to be a key figure.
