Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has publicly defended the club’s current direction, even though the team have been getting terrible results lately. The 24-year-old Ecuadorian international said that the Blues are making a lot of progress, even though they were disappointed to be knocked out of the Champions League.
The London giants have been playing badly for a long time, losing their last four games in all competitions. The Blues have fallen out of Europe after losing 8–2 on aggregate to Paris Saint-Germain and out of the Champions League qualification spots in the Premier League table.
Many fans have said they are unhappy with the ongoing project, but Caicedo remains confident that the training ground is laying the groundwork for future success. The former Independiente del Valle star talked about the team’s exit from the Champions League and their overall growth. He said the competition was unique, then switched to talking about how he thought the team were growing from the inside.
“Many incredible things happen in the Champions League, that’s why it’s so special. But I focus more on my team. We are progressing well.”
The midfielder’s positive outlook stands in stark contrast to the numbers showing this season has made Chelsea fans doubt head coach Liam Rosenior’s leadership. Since his high-profile move from Brighton and Hove Albion, Caicedo has been the anchor of a midfield that hasn’t always been consistent, especially in recent losses to Newcastle United and Everton when the team seriously struggled.
Chelsea Fans Get Ready For A Big Protest During The Next Manchester United Game
As organised fan groups get ready to show their anger during the next big home game, the mood at Stamford Bridge is likely to stay tense. NotAProjectCFC are reportedly organising a big protest for Manchester United’s visit on April 18.
Supporters are going to march with fan groups from the French team Strasbourg to protest BlueCo’s current multi-club ownership model. Fans say that the team’s current mid-table standing is due to a decline in club values and poor management. This protest is meant to draw attention to these issues.
With only a few games left in the domestic season, the pressure on the team to get a good result against the Red Devils has reached an all-time high. Some players, like Caicedo, are still hopeful, but the next few weeks will show whether the club can really back up its claim that it is making progress despite all the outside pressure.
