Chelsea star Makelele talked about Caicedo, Joao Pedro and other Chelsea players in an interview.
Caicedo is currently Chelsea's main midfielder, and some people have compared him to Makelele. Makelele said: "He can grow into the best midfielder, but there are many, many good midfielders. He is a young guy and I like him very much. Does he look like me? Yes! But he is not me, he is different and he can Continue to improve because he has great talent and wide space and time. The same is true for Kante at the beginning. I also talked to him about his leadership."
Makelele continued: "Leadership means you have to prove that you are the best at Chelsea. Players, once you are not on the field, the team will be in trouble. It makes you understand the responsibility and the importance of setting an example on the training ground. You need to perform well in every game and lead the team to win. Even if you lose a game, you can make the team stronger and win the next game. Only when he reaches this level can we start to say that he is the best midfielder in the world."
Chelsea is currently 8 points behind the leader Arsenal, but Makelele is optimistic about Chelsea's future prospects. "The team has quality, Chelsea have a young team full of talent and they have started to show that they can compete in the Premier League for many years. I think both Chelsea and PSG have foreseen that this project of focusing on young players will be successful. I believe they will fight for the title this season because they look very focused. As for the Champions League it is different, let's see what happens, but they need to stay competitive like Arsenal last season."
Makelele finally talked about Chelsea forward Joao Pedro: "If the forward cannot get the ball, he cannot score, and this is the same in all clubs in the world. Coming to Chelsea has reached another level for Pedro. The Brazilian national team has many striker options. It is not easy, but he is scoring goals and is happy. Happiness is the most important thing, and if Chelsea can support him and pass the ball to him, he can show that he has the ability to help the team win trophies."
