Caicedo was unable to follow Hayden Hackney as he ran into the penalty area in the 37th minute, and the difference for the Championship team was a goal by Hackney.

The Ecuadorian international midfielder Caicedo was clumsy with the ball and had a dismal performance overall.

Even though he cost a staggering £115 million to join Chelsea this summer, Caicedo has not been the same since moving to west London.

“With Caicedo… It becomes a one-versus-one,” said Hasselbaink, a former Chelsea striker, regarding Middlesbrough’s winning goal after the match, according to Sky Sports.

Your one-on-one match will go on as long as your resolve remаins strong. It’s not complicated.

You simply stick with your man, sprint after him, and give him a little push at the last second so he can’t put the ball in. God, he came to a halt!

I believed there was a plan [from Chelsea], but they needed to do more to break the lines,’ Hasselbaink said, continuing to criticize Chelsea’s goal-scoring ineptitude after Cole Palmer missed multiple crucial opportunities.

A few selfless sprints were required to clear the way. If Raheem Sterling is the lone player in the box, crosses are unnecessary.Mastery and familiarity with one’s teammates are crucial. With Chelsea, it was insufficient. There were too many turnovers, the game was laborious, and the pace was too slow for Boro to enjoy.

And that’s the reason they posed a threаt. Having the correct mindset is the first step. Positivity is the starting point. Because they weren’t playing well, they failed to put the other team on the back foot.
