Reece James reacts to Moises Caicedo’s Chelsea message after ‘crazy’ claim
Moises Caicedo stayed positive on social media despite Chelsea’s disappointing goalless draw against Brentford in their latest Premier League clash.
Chelsea were held to a frustrating stalemate that hindered their Champions League hopes after a 0-0 draw to Brentford.
Caicedo started the match alongside Enzo Fernandez in midfield, but it was a much-changed side with the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Christopher Nkunku also getting a start.
Caicedo had been hailed as “crazy” by Chelsea fans after his exceptional individual performance against Tottenham earlier in the week. However, he couldn’t make a difference this time against their West London rivals.
Despite the subpar result, the Ecuadorian midfielder shared an uplifting message for fans and received responses from his teammates.

Moises Caicedo has impressed at Chelsea under Enzo Maresca amid early frustration
The midfielder shared a message following Chelsea’s recent match, posting pictures from the game alongside a caption that read: “+1 on the road. We keep going.”
The post earned plenty of reactions from his teammates, with Reece James, Nicolas Jackson, and Marc Cucurella all liking it.
Caicedo has faced criticism from pundits earlier this season due to some underwhelming performances, but he seems to have turned a corner in recent weeks.
He has become a key figure in Maresca’s side, making 36 appearances, starting all 31 Premier League matches, and contributing three assists.
Earlier in the season, sports analytics company Opta labelled Caicedo as Chelsea’s best player, and he has continued to impress as the club pushes for a Champions League spot.
His constant work in the midfield, including his duel-winning, recoveries, and overall presence, has now earned him recognition from Chelsea fans, who are praising his growing influence on the pitch.
Enzo Fernandez earns Real Madrid’s interest amid Chelsea’s push for Champions League
While Caicedo’s rise is noteworthy, his midfield partner, Fernandez, has also been earning significant praise for his consistent performances.
The duo has formed a formidable partnership this season, but the Argentine’s impressive displays haven’t gone unnoticed.
Mick Brown, former Man United and Blackburn chief scout, revealed that Real Madrid are keeping an eye on Fernandez ahead of a potential summer move.
Despite the growing speculation surrounding his future, Maresca will be hoping his midfield duo can remain focused and continue their strong form for the remainder of the season, as Chelsea look to secure a Champions League spot and wrap up a successful campaign.
