Moisés Caicedo, Chelsea midfielder, said they will compete “without thinking about tiredness” because of the fact that Real Betis will have 48 hours more margin to prepare the final of the Conference League.
The Ecuadorian player attended the media on the 'Media Day' of Chelsea on Tuesday before the final against Betis, on May 28 in Breslavia (Poland).
The 'blues', before the final, play this Sunday against Nottingham Forest, in a very important game for them because they play to qualify for the Champions League against a direct rival. Betis, meanwhile, will have 48 hours more rest since he plays his league match on Friday.
“We have two finals, but we are thinking of Sunday, which is the first. It is the first final. I can not tell you what I want to get (classify the Champions or win the conference) of the two because I want both, so. We are going to compete in the same way on Sunday and Wednesday because the truth is that we are an ambitious team and what we want is to win the two,” Caicedo said.
Regarding tiredness, Caicedo said it is not a factor they have in mind.
“The team is going to prepare in the best way and we will compete without thinking that we have rested less or something, because to the final what we want is to win, right? We are going to go with the mentality that there is no tiredness, that there is nothing. Then we only want to win and it is already.”
On a personal level, for Caicedo to win this title, the first of his career in England is “very important.”
“It is very important for me, for my career, to continue growing. We are a young and good team. What we want is to win, win, win and continue growing. Keep gaining experience. It will help us a lot to continue gaining experience and we are sure that we are going to play more finals.”
Asked about the maximum threats of Betis, Caicedo mentioned Antony, Isco and Abde. “They are dangerous players, especially those of attack,” concluded the Ecuadorian international.
