Caicedo: McAllister helped me a lot when I first came to England and I am very grateful to him
6686 Sports November 12th Caicedo said in an official interview with Chelsea that McAllister helped him a lot when he first came to play in England and he was very grateful to him.
Participate in Chelsea's activities to help others alleviate loneliness
Caicedo: I am very happy to be able to help because I know that not everyone can be with their families at Christmas and some people will be alone. It is really great that I can participate in this activity of the club and hope that we can help others.
About the situation when I first came to England
Caicedo: When I came to England, I felt very uncomfortable being away from my family. It was the first time I left them for a long time. I came to England alone. It was a difficult moment for me because I had never been away from my family before. I had to adapt because I wanted to start a new life here.
I pray a lot because I know God hears me, so I pray a lot, and times like that are difficult for people coming to England from South America.
About the experience at Brighton
Caicedo: My teammates at Brighton were very friendly to me. There were three or four Spanish-speaking players in the team to assist me. I especially remember McAllister because he helped me a lot when I joined Brighton.
I'm very grateful to McAllister because it was tough with the language and the time difference and all that, and I had to adapt both on and off the court, and it was a tough time but a wonderful experience because my teammates never left me alone.
About assisting new players at Chelsea
Caicedo: I will diligently assist new players who join the team. I did this in the past at Brighton, and I do the same now at Chelsea. I will maintain a closer relationship with players from South America, because I know that this adaptation process is difficult.
The language, time difference, climate, food, etc. are all difficult for us, and being able to help them makes me feel special, just like someone has helped me before. I will help new players join the team and make them feel like home.
About the power of football
Caicedo: Football is very special because it is not only a sport, but also brings people together. We can't just think about playing games, but also think about letting the Chelsea Foundation or people who are sick come to watch the games, so that they can enjoy happiness with us.
This is also special for us because we are not only thinking about football itself, but also helping people and putting a smile on their face. During games maybe when we score goals, people feel better, and that goes beyond just being a player for us.
