Inter Milan wing-back Victor Moses has revealed that he is enjoying his reunion with the first-team coach, Antonio Conte whom he describes as ‘wonderful’.
Moses played under Conte at Chelsea for two seasons where he won the Premier League and FA Cup titles.
“It’s an honor to link up once again with an important figure in my career,” the 29-year-old Super Eagles star told Daily Mail.
“’He is my mentor and friend. I have played under a lot of managers and I’ve loved every single one of them. The most important one was Antonio Conte” he raved.
After three loan stints away at Chelsea, Moses’ club career was revived when Conte joined the Premier League giants and turned the forward into a wing-back.
As a wing-back, the Nigerian became a regular in Chelsea’s run to the 2017 Premier League and the 2018 FA Cup title wins.
“At Chelsea, he just came in and changed everything. He is an amazing man; he totally changed my game, to be honest. He gave me that fighting spirit to believe in myself and to enjoy my football same time.
It was an amazing [first] season for me under Antonio Conte and I’ll always respect him for that, he’s an amazing man. I’ve never played that [wing-back] position before. When the manager came in, he talked me through it and then put me there. It was good to have the manager’s support, and he backed me and gave me the confidence to go out there and express myself. So I just wanted to go out there to play for him, the fans and the football club. I didn’t let him down” Moses also said.
Moses left Chelsea on loan to Fenerbache which he terminated to reunite with Conte at Inter.
“I’ve come to realize that you play better under a coach that believes in you and that is what Conte has done for me. I’ve played three matches and it’s been wonderful. I feel better already. Before the lockdown I’ve played three games. I started the match away to Udinese and we won 2-0. It is good for the team. We are playing for the good of the team” Moses said.
Since he joined Inter in January, Moses has played three league games and 10 games in all competition.
He has one assist which came in a 4-2 win over derby rivals AC Milan.
