Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has reserved special praise for Moisés Caicedo after the Blues edged past Tottenham 1–0 last weekend, as reported by SoftFootball.
The Ecuadorian’s control and composure in the midfield stood out throughout the match, drawing admiration from fans, pundits and from his manager.
Speaking after the match, Enzo Maresca described the Ecuadorian as top and one of the best in the world, as reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on his verified X account; a sentiment shared by many following his outstanding form.
Maresca said:
Moi, I think he’s showing how good he is. He’s top. I’ve said it many times.
The best thing about Moi, for sure, we judge him on the pitch, but he’s so humble, such a good guy, and he’s always there to help everyone.
Caicedo’s impact this season has been hard to ignore. In 14 appearances, he’s already scored four goals, marking his most productive campaign since arriving at Stamford Bridge.
Against Spurs, his work rate and control in midfield stood out, snapping into tackles, keeping possession moving, and setting the rhythm for Chelsea’s play.
Maresca’s comment shows he values more than just Caicedo’s technical side. What really strikes the Chelsea manager is his humility and steady presence in the dressing room, traits that quietly hold the team together.
Maresca added:
His attitude is special. He works for everyone around him. Players like Moi make a team stronger in every way.
Maresca has placed Caicedo as high as Rodri, saying:
Moises Caicedo is top. Caicedo and Rodri are the two best defensive midfielders in the world in my view.
As Chelsea push for a top four finish, Caicedo who recently turned 24, have become the heartbeat of Maresca’s evolving side. His calm authority and consistency have made him the team’s anchor; a reminder that true leaders often speaks in silence.
