On Today's Episode of During the International Break
You know it’s the international break when football fans start arguing about random things on the timeline. Since there are no club matches, everyone is bored — and this time, it’s Arsenal vs Chelsea again.
Fans are now comparing Declan Rice and Moisés Caicedo. Not about trophies or goals, but about who is the better defensive midfielder.
As usual, the fans are throwing shades. A Chelsea fan said, “Caicedo can’t even act as Rice’s backup.”
Then an Arsenal fan replied, “Wait, isn’t Rice’s only achievement those two free kicks against Real Madrid?”
And another person added, “Bro, Caicedo has never even reached the Champions League round of 16 in his career.”
Two defensive midfielders, two clubs, two styles. Caicedo is meant to replace N’Golo Kanté at Chelsea, while Rice is seen as the strong man in Arsenal’s midfield. But honestly, Arsenal doesn’t even have any legendary DMs to compare him with. They just needed someone to trust after watching Xhaka and Elneny pick yellow cards every weekend.
If we’re being honest, I don’t even like either of them — or their fans. Caicedo loves kicking shins — that’s why I call him Caivatar, the Last Shin Kicker. And Rice? He’s just vibes and Inshallah.
Seriously and Sincerely, I don’t even like either of them — or their fans. Chelsea fans hype Caicedo like he’s Kanté 2.0, while Arsenal fans act like Rice is the second coming of Vieira.
But at the end of the day, we’ll still have to choose between the two.
So, who’s better — the shin kicker or the somehow calm and composed rice.
I think we should wait till after the international break when Arsenal and Chelsea play each other to compare but I am voting Arsenal to win though. What about you? Who is better, Rice or Mr Shin kicker.
