Marcos
Alonso has heaped praises on teammate and Super Eagles winger Victor Moses for
the ‘amazing job’ he is doing for Chelsea this season.
Both players
have been integral to Chelsea’s success – they sit 10 points clear at the top
of the Premier League – and have been near ever-presents in the wing-back
positions since manager Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 formation in October.
Both 26, the
pair were seen as something of journeymen – having struggled to hold down a
regular place at the various top-flight clubs they have played for – but it’s
been a different story this year.
While Alonso
has played at wing-back before, he told Sky Sports he has been seriously
impressed with the way Moses has adapted to a new position on the opposite
flank.
The two players
whose careers were on the wane are more than likely to end up with Premier
League winners’ medals this season.
“Some days
when I see that he is attacking more, I will stay more to cover and sometimes
when I push more, he covers at the back,” Alonso said of Moses.
“He is doing
an amazing job, because I think for me, it is easier that I used to play in
this position before but for him it is something new and he is doing a
fantastic job there.”
