Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has lauded Victor Moses’ all-round display in the Blues’ 2-0 win over Southampton in the Premier League Sunday.
Strikes in either half from Eden Hazard and Diego Costa secured the three points for Chelsea, who now move fourth on the log and a point off the leaders.
The performance was also a fourth consecutive clean sheet for the Blues in the English topflight since Conte reverted to a 3-4-3 formation with Moses thriving as a wing-back.
And Conte has hailed the impact of the Nigerian on the side, Goal writes.
“This role is very important in this system. You must have good stamina and quality to play as wing-backs,” Conte said.
“I ask my wing-backs to do offensive and defensive work. Moses is a great surprise in this aspect.
“We know Moses as a winger, but he’s playing in a fantastic way. Also Alonso, it wasn’t easy to go in to the English league and play in this way, and I’m pleased.
“In this role, Pedro also can play, in the same way as Moses. Ivanovic or Aina can play a more defensive role as wing-back.”
Moses has been reborn since Conte took charge at Stamford Bridge, and Nigeria will be banking on that form when the Eagles take on Algeria’s Foxes in the 2018 World Cup qualifier, November 13, in Uyo.
He missed the win at Zambia with an injury, but Eagles handler Gernot Rohr has recalled him to the side for the crucial tie.
