About Caicedo's performance
Maresca: Caicedo is performing very well now. He is moving forward and improving every day. Caicedo is very open-minded, he wants to study and he helps his teammates in every game.
When we scored against Tottenham before, Caicedo performed high pressure in the opponent's three-second zone, because that is exactly the kind of pressure we want to see. We need to react immediately after losing the ball, and Caicedo played very well.

About the outside world's opinion of Chelsea

Opinions on Premier League events
Maresca: The level of competition in the Premier League is of course incredible. Every team performs very well, which makes the competition very difficult, because as you said, every team is extremely competitive, and every team has excellent players and excellent coaches. They will be well prepared for the competition, so every game is very difficult.
There are many excellent coaches in the Premier League, such as Sunderland coach Le Bris and Bournemouth coach Ilaura. I think there are many excellent coaches worthy of our attention.
About Reece James
