Ahead of the pre-season friendly against Juventus, Chelsea midfielder Caicedo attended a press conference to answer media questions.

You chose to renew your contract with Chelsea at the end of last season. What did the club do to make you decide to stay? What did they say to you that made you choose to renew your contract and stay with the team after a difficult season?

Actually, they didn't say anything. I just wanted to continue playing for this club. They wanted me to renew, and I agreed because I want to be a legend here. So that's why I chose to renew.

Do you think the team is building something positive? With new players joining and more experienced players coming in, do you feel the team is moving in a positive direction?

Yes, this is very important for us. I'm very happy that they can come to the club, because their experience will help the young players grow. So I'm very happy and I believe we will achieve a lot together.

Hello, Moises. You obviously have a very good partnership with Enzo in midfield. Have you said to him: "Please stay, we want you to continue fighting with us"?

I like Enzo very much, and he knows it. I respect him greatly because, as we all know, he's that kind of player, not just a player, but also a very good person. And, I want him to stay, but I don't want to talk too much about it, because if he stays here, it will be a huge help for us. So, yes, I just wish him well, and of course, he will think about it and make the best choice for himself.

A second question about Enzo. He scored a crucial goal against England, and next season he might receive extraordinary treatment from some fans (not just Chelsea fans). Do you think he can handle this? With his personality, do you think he can cope with a situation where he might no longer be as popular in England?

Yes, 100%. He is a very strong player with strong mental fortitude, which is why he became a World Cup winner. So, he can definitely handle this pressure and continue to perform as he did when he finished.

Can I ask you a little more? You played with Welbeck at Brighton for a few years. What kind of person is he? What can he bring to the dressing room? And what kind of player is he?

Yes, he is top-notch, both as a player and as a person. When I first arrived at Brighton, he helped me a lot, and he was important to me. Now that he's here, it's great, and I'm happy to have him. He will definitely help us a lot, and with his mentality, he can also inspire our forwards. He knows very well everything he has, and he will be very important for the Premier League and all competitions, so yes, I'm really happy.

When you heard that Chelsea was interested in him, did your role as a former teammate help facilitate his transfer?

Honestly, no. When he first arrived here, I hugged him because I was so happy when he signed. And, yes, as I said, he is very important to us, and I'm looking forward to playing alongside him.

Moises, you previously spoke about how the price tag caused you to struggle when you first joined Chelsea. Can you talk about how you overcame this to play more freely? What advice would you give to Morgan Rogers, who joined for a similar high price?

No, I don't think he'll face too much pressure. Yes, now I feel I can play more freely, or do everything, because I think going through that stage is part of the journey of a career. So, now I'm happy, and for me, I am now a player who has passed that stage. Of course, he will be very important to us, and I'm also happy to have him, because he will bring his strength, everything he has, including his goals and assists. Yes, I'm very much looking forward to his performance.

Hi, Moises. Which midfielder are you most looking forward to partnering with next season to create the best chemistry?

With all of them. No, as I said, I'm very happy, and I'm looking forward to continuing to work with them... starting to play alongside them, because you know, when you have such high-level players, it's also a motivation for me and other players. I can't wait for the new season to start, because I'm sure we will perform very well.

So, how has your experience in Hong Kong been so far? Is there anything specific you'd like to see in Hong Kong next?

Our fans, the people here are amazing. We feel right at home. Everyone is very nice. This is my first time here, but I feel at home, like at home. So, yes, to the fans, I just want to thank you for your support, thank you for always supporting us, even with the time difference, because I know it's not easy for you to stay up late to watch our Premier League games. But, yes, we are really grateful, because we can feel and realize that you give us everything. So, yes, I just want to say thank you, that's it.

Hi, Moises. I have a question about Mudryk. Now that he's back with the team, how do you see him as a teammate now? What's the atmosphere around all this in the dressing room?

I'm happy for him, because you know, it's not easy to suddenly not be able to play. And, yes, he has always been very strong, he's a strong person. Yes, everyone is happy to see him back. For sure, he will come back stronger and continue to do what he needs to do.
