Former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy has named the Chelsea player who he says is the heartbeat of the football club.
Cundy, who of course is now a popular Chelsea pundit largely on talkSPORT, has been speaking off the back of Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Tottenham from Saturday night.
EXCLUSIVE! When Cole Palmer is expected to return to the Chelsea squad – plans laid out!
It was a very important win for Enzo Maresca’s side and it was an easy win too, despite the narrow score line. It should have been 4 or 5 goals for Chelsea and Spurs were just very bad. Take nothing away from Maresca and his side though, because they were very good.
Perhaps the best player on the pitch was Moises Caicedo, which is why we were all surprised to see that it wasn’t him as the only Chelsea player to make the Who Scored Premier League Team of the Week, it was actually his team mate Joao Pedro.
Caicedo was just colossal and he was everywhere on that pitch. He gave Spurs players no time, and it was his relentless pressing, tackling, and intercepting, that set up Pedro’s goal and of course, the only goal of the game and the winning goal.
More important than Palmer?
Speaking on talkSPORT’s Inside Chelsea show, Cundy said: “He’s the most important player for Chelsea. Yes, Cole Palmer… there’s no doubt he’s the most creative offensive player. He’s the difference maker, but Moises Caicedo is the heartbeat of that football club right now.”
They are BOTH important
I never understand why we always have to say one player is more important than another. I get it, it’s for debates and Podcasts etc. But why can’t we just say that they are equally as important to Chelsea and we need both of them fit and firing?
