Caicedo admitted that his price tag weighed him down during his first season at Chelsea but now he is enjoying his life at the club. He mentioned, 'Now I am more adapted to the club... with the new training staff, which is good. I have more confidence and I'm playing good football.' His sentiments reflect a significant turnaround in form and mindset, indicating how support from teammates and staff can influence performance at such a high level.
Graham Potter noted in a BBC column regarding Moises Caicedo's situation: 'It feels like Chelsea are starting to see the real Moises Caicedo, and I am not surprised their results have improved.' His analysis connects the player's initial struggles at Chelsea with a previous experience at Brighton, suggesting that overcoming initial challenges often leads to revealing a player's true quality.
Potter further stated: 'The way it began for him with us at Brighton was similar to what happened when he first joined Chelsea, in that it felt like he has had to suffer and dig in before coming out the other side and showing everyone his true quality.' He emphasized the importance of resilience in young players, especially in light of personal and external pressures like a significant price tag.
Caicedo's journey highlights the struggles of adapting to high expectations in a new environment, with Potter also expressing understanding of the pressures faced by young talent, especially concerning Caicedo's £115 million price tag, contributing to a loss of confidence initially.
