Chelsea midfielder Caicedo said that every time he scores a goal for the Blues, he owes it to the advice his father gave him. Caicedo has won widespread praise for his outstanding performances at Chelsea this season, proving that he is one of the top players in his position in world football.
In the game against Tottenham last weekend, Caicedo performed eye-catching in the midfield and assisted the team's only goal, helping Chelsea win the game 1-0. Caicedo has made great progress since moving to Brighton in 2021, and joined Chelsea two years later.
Caicedo said: "It was a big change for me because I left my family in Ecuador. I came to the UK alone, so it was a very difficult moment for me because I had never been separated from my family."
"But for me, coming to England to play football is a very good opportunity to show my football talents. I am very happy because this is the time I brought a It was a very good decision to have a clear goal. "Now I enjoy every moment. Sometimes I think about how difficult it was when I first came here, but looking back now, I just laugh because I am realizing my dream."
Caicedo has scored 4 goals in all competitions this season, which is double the number of goals he scored in the previous season in England.
Caicedo said: "For a long time, my dad always told me that I have to shoot on goal because I have a lot of chances to score. I try to follow his advice and that's why I'm scoring goals now. So every time I score, I think of him. It's all because of him."
"I want to improve every day because learning never ends. Whether in training I'm learning something new every time I play. My performance is great, but I need to keep improving in every training and every game because learning never ends."
"I'm doing it every day, so I'm very happy with what I'm doing so far, but I will continue to learn."
Caicedo now hopes to continue this form and get another win against Wolves on Sunday.
Caicedo said: "I think we are in very good shape and feel great. Although the pre-season preparation time is short, we started very smoothly. We are in good shape now and very happy because everything is going well."
"Of course, our goal is to win trophies. We are a giant club and we have always been eager to win trophies, but we will do it step by step because now we have 4 events to participate in and the season is very long, so we need to play steadily."
