Victor Moses says he is “relishing” playing as
a wing-back for Chelsea this season after
struggling to hit the ground running since
joining the Blues in 2012.
Moses opened up on the club’s website on
why he has thrived as a wing-back despite
having never played in that role before and
credits his outstanding performance to his
Italian manager at the club, Antonio Conte.
The 25-year-old has featured in eight Premier
League matches for Chelsea, including in their
last three against Hull City, Leicester City and
Manchester United which they have won
without conceding.
The Nigeria international said he was only
focused on improving as a wing-back in
Chelsea’s 3-4-3 formation.
“I have not played there before. I have just
got to listen to what the manager asks me to
do in that position and the way he wants me
to do it.
“It’s very important to understand your
teammates; so, every game we played, I just
want to keep on improving.
“The more games you play, the more
experience you get in that position and I’m
really relishing and enjoying it at the moment.
“I have got Azpilicueta there, the spare right-
back, who is behind me and he communicates
with me and really helps me out to make sure
I am in the right position.
“It’s very good to link up with Pedro and
Willian too. They know when it’s time for me
to go or when not to go.
“We speak to each other and we look at each
other’s movement to make sure we are doing
the right thing on the pitch,” Moses explained
on the website.
He stated that the club’s performance in
recent matches was due to serious “work as a
unit in training”.
The former Wigan Athletic player hopes they
can “keep the momentum going” in
subsequent matches.
