Caicedo had a remarkable season, playing in all 38 of Chelsea's Premier League games. This achievement made him the first Chelsea player to do so since Cesar Azpilicueta in the 2018/2019 season.
Under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, Chelsea secured qualification for next season's Champions League and won the Europe Conference League. Caicedo played a crucial role in these successes.
Makelele is happy to see younger players like Caicedo taking inspiration from his own career. He mentions that during his time, midfielders were not always in the spotlight, but now, players like Rodri and Pedri are receiving recognition for their skills.
Makelele praises Caicedo for his humility and hard work. He had a conversation with Caicedo before he joined Chelsea, and Caicedo mentioned that Makelele was his example. Makelele is confident that Caicedo can be a success at Chelsea due to his good playing skills.
Makelele believes that Chelsea's new team has the potential to be successful. They need to build on their momentum, which he thinks can be achieved by winning the Club World Cup.
