It's only the beginning of the season, but both Liverpool and Chelsea need to improve. And that boost has a name: Moisés Caicedo, as shown in the 1-1 draw between the two teams this Sunday at Stamford Bridge, where the need for a high-level defensive midfielder was revealed in both clubs. Leading up to the match, the big rumor was whether the Ecuadorian Caicedo, sought after by both teams, would be in London, and during the game, the big question was who needed him more. Because both teams lacked that figure in the middle, and it was demonstrated in a first half of back-and-forth action, very entertaining for the fans, but highly stressful for Argentine Mauricio Pochettino and German Jürgen Klopp.
