Joao Pedro scores on Caicedo in training, then taunts him with defiant faces. The interaction highlights Chelsea's fiery personalities.
A video from Chelsea's training session has gone viral on social media, starring Moises Caicedo and Joao Pedro. The Ecuadorian midfielder had to watch as the Brazilian player made absolutely defiant faces at him after a play.
Joao Pedro ended up winning a duel against Moises Caicedo in training, where he managed to score a goal. The Brazilian, after the finish, looked at Moises Caicedo in a challenging manner. After that, the forward even started making faces at the Ecuadorian.
On the other hand, 'Nino Moi' simply ignored him and continued with his run and the training session. Joao Pedro is well known in Europe and at Chelsea for being a very temperamental forward. Usually, during matches, the Brazilian player ends up in some sort of duel.
Moises Caicedo is also one of the most intense and most difficult players to "get past" in the Premier League and at Chelsea. Hence, a confrontation like this is nothing new. On the pitch, he even shoved his compatriot Piero Hincapie just a few weeks ago.
The clash also comes at a complicated time for Chelsea, as they just lost the derby against Arsenal and face a tough schedule in their push to qualify for the next Champions League. Additionally, they will be playing against PSG in the round of 16 of the European Cup.
So far this season, Moises Caicedo has played a total of 36 games for Chelsea in all competitions. The Ecuadorian midfielder has scored five goals and provided one assist. He has logged just over 2,900 minutes on the pitch. It is his best season in terms of goals.
Joao Pedro signed with Chelsea during the Club World Cup and did so until the end of 2033. In his first season in London, the Brazilian forward has 14 goals and eight assists. He is the Blues' starting striker, although he still needs to prove a little more in the big matches.
