After starting in Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Argentina in Chicago three days prior, the midfield enforcer was named to the bench for the match in the United States.
After losing their previous match, Caicedo’s Ecuador took advantage of the opportunity to take a 2-0 lead into halftime thanks to goals from Enner Valencia and John Yeboah in the first 25 minutes.In the 63rd minute, the 22-year-old was substituted in for Jose Cifuentes in the center of the field, and he would eventually receive his opportunity to play a role in the match.
Ecuador took a commanding lead when, following a foul on Janner Corozo, Jordy Caicedo scored a penalty kick to put the team up 3-0.
Even though Miguel Terceros scored a late consolation goal for Bolivia in the last minutes of the game, Ecuador still won the warm-up encounter.
Caicedo and Ecuador will travel to the Copa America to take on Venezuela in their first group stage match after a final match against Honduras on Sunday, June 16 (8.30pm KO UK time).
An elite Chelsea target wants the transfer, according to a top French source, and this could be the final straw
An elite Chelsea target this summer reportedly wants to move to Stamford Bridge, according to a prominent French source, and that could be the deal-breaker.
It’s getting difficult to keep up with all the commentary and reporting on this issue at the moment. It hasn’t helped that several news sources have slightly differing accounts of what happened either.In any case, Chelsea are now certain that they will be able to sign Michael Olise, a winger for Crystal Palace, during the upcoming summer transfer window. At the very least, I think that statement—or one very similar to it—is shared by most media outlets covering the story.
One important factor, though, will be Olise’s decision on whether or not to join Chelsea and, if so, under what conditions. In my opinion, that is the most crucial aspect of this situation. If Olise is serious about the transfer, he will demand that Chelsea and his club reach an agreement, and Chelsea appears to be confident in their ability to accomplish it as well.Since Olise is French, it is interesting to read what reputable French sources have to say about this.
One of the most trustworthy sources for French football transfer news is Santo Aouna of Foot Mercato, and yesterday he delivered the bombshell!
According to him, Chelsea approached Crystal Palace about the prospect of signing Michael Olise. During the summer of 2017, Chelsea came close to signing the 22-year-old. “I want to go to Chelsea,” Olise says.
That settles it; Olise wants to join Chelsea. Not only that, but he isn’t the lone voice in this camp.
Michael Olise is reportedly amenable to a transfer to Chelsea, according to Ed Aarons of The Guardian.
Chelsea, finish it!
