Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca believes Moises Caicedo is in the same level as Rodri and both players can be regarded as ‘two best defensive midfielders in the world,’ Softfootball reports.
Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspurs 1-0 courtesy a goal by Joao Pedro to win the London derby. The Brazilian scored his first goal after six games and it came in the enemy’s ground which made it the sweeter for Blues fans.
However, that goal was created by Moises Caicedo after he robbed Dutch international Micky van de Ven of possession and played it into the path of Pedro and the Brazilian made no mistake with his finish.
In a post-match interview shared by football expert, Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle. Maresca said:
Moises Caicedo is top. Caicedo and (Manchester City midfielder and former Ballon D’Or winner) Rodri are the two best defensive midfielders in the world in my view.
Chelsea are now fifth on the premier league log with 17 points after 10 matches and will return to action in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday when they take-on Qarabag FK.
