#PLStories- Moises Caicedo explains his right-back role for Brighton #BHAFC

The Ecuador midfield star went head-to-head with Marcus Rashford last night. He helped Albion beat Manchester United 1-0 and keep a fifth clean sheet in their last six home games. Albion were without specialists Joel Veltman and Tariq Lamptey as well as Pascal Gross. Caicedo told The Argus: “I’ve never played right-back. “It was my first time at right-back and I tried to do my best. “It was good. It was difficult because Rashford is a really hard winger to mark but I think I did it the best I could. “Veltman, Tariq, Pascal are injured so he (Roberto De Zerbi) called me here, we had a meeting and he asked if I’d like to play in this position. “I said, ‘If you want me to play there, I’d be delighted. I’ll try and do it the best I can’. “It’s not my position that I usually play but I’ll try. “He told me only three hours before the game. “But you have to ready for anything on the pitch.” Caicedo said beating United was special after the disappointment suffered at Wembley. He said: “We’re very happy for the result and I think we deserved it. “I think at Wembley we also deserved to win as well but that’s football. “We really wanted to win this game. “Of course we want to win. “Brighton is a very big club. “We have lots of talented players, lots of youngsters so we want to be in lots of competitions.” Caicedo returned to the XI having been rested from kick-off against Wolves, when Billy Gilmour started. He was happy to see the former Chelsea make an impression. Caicedo said: “My colleague Billy came in I was really happy because he hasn’t had many minutes. I’m also happy for my colleagues who play and I hope they do as well as they can, “That means we have good players and we have a second team, if we can call it like that.”
