Moses, who was in the starting line-up for the Blues in the 2-0 defeat of stubborn
Southampton in their Premier clash at St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday, started in the wins over Hull
City, Leicester City and Manchester
United.
In-form Chelsea attacker Victor
Moses has vowed to keep improving his performances to keep his starting role at
the London Premier League giants.
The 25-year-old Super
Eagles forward has been grabbing the headlines since Chelsea manager Antonio
Conte converted him into a right wing-back in his new 3-4-3 system.
And Moses, who spent last three seasons out on loan at
Liverpool, Stoke and West Ham after the
2012 European champions signed him from
Wigan four years ago, has admitted he is
enjoying his new role at Chelsea.
The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations
winner says he is happy to contribute to the defensive duties too by falling
back support Cesar Azpilicueta.
“I have not played there
before,” Moses, who represented Nigeria at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, told
Chelsea’s official website on Sunday.
“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.
“Every game we play I just
want to keep on improving. The more games you play, the more experience you get
in that position. I’m really relishing it at the moment and enjoying it.
“It’s very important to
understand your teammates. 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 or 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.”
The player, who missed
the Super Eagles’ opening
Russia 2018 World Cup Group B
qualifier against Zambia’ Chipolopolo in
Ndola on October 9, has been invited by Nigeria coach Gernot for the qualifier
against Algeria in Uyo on
November 12.
Moses added, “I’m feeling
happy, I’m feeling excited and right now I’m looking forward to every game.
“The most important thing
is getting out on the pitch and enjoying your football, and that’s what I am
doing at the moment. It’s also good to have a team that believes in your
ability and encourages you to keep driving on and playing well.”
