Double delight spurs on Chelsea’s Moses
Victor Moses has credited Antonio Conte with resurrecting his Chelsea career and helping him enjoy football again.
The 26-year-old emerged as a surprise key figure in the Blues’ title success this term, having spent the previous three seasons out on loan at Liverpool, Stoke and West Ham.
But Conte saw something predecessor Jose Mourinho did not and Moses has thrived as a wing-back in the Italian’s 3-4-3 system which carried Chelsea to the Premier League crown.
The Nigerian now stands on the verge of becoming a double winner ahead of tomorrow’s FA Cup final against Arsenal. Moses admitted: “That would be a great achievement for me.
“We’ve got a new manager here who’s willing to give everyone an opportunity. He gave me that opportunity and I didn’t look back after that.
“I’m very pleased with that and I just want to keep improving in every game I play. It’s a new role for me and I’m still getting used to it.
“I’m more focused now than ever. I’m enjoying my football again.
“The more games you play, the more experience you get and I’m enjoying that so far this season.
“It’s from the manager, he’s given me a lot of confidence. Not just me personally, but the other boys as well.
“He gives every single one of us confidence to go out there and enjoy our football.”
Arsenal will be desperate for silverware after missing out on the league’s top four.
Moses added: “We don’t feel any pressure, we’re just taking this game as it comes.
“We think we’re good enough to beat Arsenal, but it’s not going to be an easy game.
“We’ve got the league title and they’re going to want to win because they missed out on top four. We’re going to try and stop them because we want the double.”
