Conte: Victor Moses, First-Timers Will Be Excited To Play At The Camp Nou
Published: March 13, 2018Chelsea coach Antonio Conte was in front of the cameras on Tuesday evening previewing Wednesday's Champions League round of sixteen, second leg match between his team and Barcelona at the Camp Nou.
The Italian has suggested that the likes of Victor Moses would be delighted to play at the Camp Nou tomorrow as he has previously not stepped out onto the pitch for a competitive match.
Indeed, the Nigeria international has visited Spain only once with the Chelsea team for a European match and this happened this season when he went the full ninety against Atlético Madrid at Estadio Metropolitano de Madrid.
''For sure this is a fantastic stadium with a big pitch. I think that every single player needs to play this type of game must be excited, to play this type of game,'' Conte told reporters.
''A lot of my players have never played in this stadium. This is the first time and we want to do our best.''
Chelsea must score in Barcelona to stand a chance of progressing to the last eight after they were forced to a 1-1 draw in the first leg at Stamford Bridge last month.
Moses last found the net in the Champions League in Chelsea's 3-2 win against Shakhtar Donetsk on November 7, 2012.
