Despite all the plaudits he has been routinely receiving for his standout displays, Caicedo is firmly of the belief that there's a lot more he can do. In his humble opinion, he doesn't believe he's the best in the business.
"No," Caicedo told Daily Mail when asked if he is the best defensive midfielder in the world. "So many [players are better than me]. I don't want to say to the world that I'm the best because there’s no truth to that. In my mind, I'm the best version of myself, if you know what I mean? It's different when you say you are the best in the world to the world.
"There are so many good players in my position. I'm doing my best. But I need to show more because I feel like I can do more. With goals, with assists, I can feel it. I know I play in a position where I help the centre-backs, but I can do more."
He then referenced one of the plays during the 1-0 win over Spurs in October, in which he laid an assist for Joao Pedro's only goal of the game after some monstrous defensive work.
"You saw against Tottenham? I believed I could get that ball back, then I did, then I made an assist. I can do that in every single game. I believe in myself and, for sure, I'm going to do it."
