Chelsea
manager, Jose Mourinho, has heaped praises on Victor Moses for his super
performance in his side’s pre-season opening game against New York Red Bulls
and hints that the Nigerian will stay at Stamford Bridge.
The Nigerian winger
was outstanding even though, the English champions were beaten 4-2 by the Major
League Soccer side.
Moses spent the last
two seasons away on loan but Mourinho appears to want him to spend the new
season at Chelsea.
The Chelsea Twitter
handle all but confirmed Moses will be kept for the coming season when it
tweeted: “Jose says he is happy with the performances shown by Moses and Traore
tonight. They are both in his plans for the coming season. #CFCTour.”
Complete sports
gathered that, the Super Eagles forward did enough to earn Mourinho’s praise
after carving out Chelsea’s first real chance of the game but his effort was
well saved by
Kyle Reynish in goal for Red Bulls.
The former Wigan
winger also came to scoring late in the first half when his effort struck the
post.
Mourinho singled out
the Nigerian for praise after the game despite his side’s shocking loss.
”Moses is strong,
he’s experienced. He’s fast, he’s aggressive,” Mourinho told the post-match
press conference. “He has to learn to play with us obviously. But I’m happy with
his week, with his 45 minutes. The next match, 45 more minutes. “Victor had an
evolution over the last couple of years.” Said Jose
Chelsea’s next match
is on Saturday against Paris Saint Germain, the French side that knocked them
out of the Champions League last season.
