Caicedo is by far the core of the build-up at Chelsea under coach Maresca. His influence is so absolute that whether he plays or not determines the victory or defeat of the game. In the match against Everton, he started as a fullback and returned to his main job as a midfielder in the second half, proving his outstanding performance in both positions.
Chelsea beat Everton 1-0 in the 34th round of the 2024-2025 Premier League at Stamford Bridge in London, England, at 8:30 p.m. on the 26th (Korea time). With this victory, Chelsea ranked fourth in the league with 17 wins, nine draws and eight losses (60 points), and Everton ranked 13th in the league with eight wins, 14 draws and 12 losses (38 points).
Chelsea activated a 4-2-3-1 formation. Sanchez defended the goal and Cucurella, Colwill, Chalobah and Caicedo made up the four backs. Rabia and Fernandez were located in the third line, Netu, Palmer and Madueke were in the second line, and Jackson participated in the front line.
Chelsea, which was ranked sixth before the opening of the match, vowed to win in order to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. From the beginning, they continued to build up their teams step by step to see if they had a chance. However, Everton was also a difficult opponent. Against Chelsea, which has strong build-up and pressure, Everton focused on long balls to score points.
Chelsea scored the first goal. In the 26th minute of the first half, Fernandez received the ball that Chalobah stole from goalkeeper Everton Pickford under pressure and calmly connected it to Jackson and shook the left net. It was a thrilling score for the first time in 13 games since a home game against Brentford in December last year.
Cucurella was named the man of the match (MOM). Starting at left fullback, Cucurella contributed to the victory by playing full time with 60/64 (94 percent) pass success rate, 2/3 (67 percent) effective shots, and 5/6 (83 percent) ball competition. Caicedo's contributions, however, have never faded.
In the first half, Caicedo played an inverted full-back role on the right side, showing a stable performance. Everton strongly pressured Caicedo, the core of Chelsea's build-up, but he actively led Chelsea's rear build-up organically by moving back and forth from the midfield and the right side. In the 23rd minute of the first half, Chalobah cleared the cross from the right with a header and neatly blocked the ensuing second ball with one touch and a precise tackle, adding stability to the team.
Everton continued to put strong pressure on them, but Chelsea continued to play calmly by increasing their possession based on a stable build-up. In the 21st minute of the second half, when Ravia was replaced and Reece James was deployed, Caicedo returned to his original position of the third line. From that moment on, he began to show more aggressive form. In the 27th minute of the second half, he received the ball in a counterattack and kept his balance until the end, broke deep into the opponent's camp, and even attempted a threatening shot.
On the day, Caicedo played both sides of offense and defense, crisscrossing the right and center, and firmly supported Chelsea's back. His performance is also shown in detailed indicators. According to the soccer statistics media "Foot Mob," Caicedo, who played full time, recorded eight passes in the offensive area, 5/7 (71%) successful ball competition, nine recoveries, and four interceptions. 바카라사이트
"Kaicedo, who played the role of a fullback temporarily, showed an all-round performance," the British 'Goal Dotcom' praised his performance, saying, "He still had strong tackles, and in the second half, he returned to the midfield without difficulty and took the center stage of the team."
