Chelsea Boss Reveals Moses Was Poor Defensively Before Formation Change

Antonio Conte has admitted that Victor Moses was a poor defensive player before he was converted to a wing-back when he had to change his formation in the wake of the 3-0 loss to Arsenal. <br /><br />Moses has flourished in his new position under the Italian manager, with the Nigeria international starting the last 20 games contested by the Blues in the Premier League. <br /><br />&ldquo;I knew of him, but to see him live is very important to judge a player, &rdquo; said Antonio Conte. <br /><br />&ldquo;I always saw him as a winger, very good in one versus one, but a bit poor defensively.<br /><br />&ldquo;Then, when I decided to change the system, I wanted to try him in this new role. Now we have a complete player.&rdquo;<br /><br />Last week , the former Crystal Palace and Wigan Athletic star was rewarded with a new contract which will keep him at Stamford Bridge until June 2021.<br /><br />Igho Kingsley <br /><br />Photo Credit : chelseafc.com<br />
