Just taking a breather here away from transfers and games, because it is already going pretty nuts out there ahead of the first transfer window of the summer opening up next week.
Moises Caicedo us a big Chelsea fan, he has made that clear since the day he joined the club. He only wanted Chelsea, and he was just as keen to join as us as we were to sign him. These are the kind of players you want out there on the pitch representing the badge. They care, and they fight more because they are fans as well as players.
So when Caicedo picks his best ever Chelsea Xl, you know that there would have been a lot of thought gone into it and you know it will be worth taking note of.
He’s even selected one current Chelsea player!
Here is the full team selection:
– Petr Cech
– Reece James
– John Terry
– Thiago Silva
– Ashley Cole
– Claude Makelele
– N’Golo Kante
– Frank Lampard
– Eden Hazard
– Didier Drogba
– Juan Mata
What a team this is!
And on picking James at right back, the midfielder said:
“I pick Reece because I train with him every day. I see how he trains and how he plays.
“I also watched him in the Champions League final before I joined Chelsea and he was fantastic.
“I think he’s been an idol for many people for a long time, including me.”
Love it.
Who would bet against Caicedo one day being in conversations for the best every Chelsea Xl as well? I certainly wouldn’t.
This season he has been superb and so consistent. He’s earned all the plaudits and the end of season awards he swept up too.
He’s a rare player that you’d say you wish we could just have 11 of!
