Chelsea's Moses aims to nip Rubin tie in the bud - UEFA.com

On goal last week in Chelsea FC's 3-1 first-leg beat of Hamilton Academical Rubin Kazan, Victor Moses says the Blues desire to land yet another early strike against the Russian side to kill off the link and rubber-stamp their invest the UEFA Europa League semi-finals. Rafael BenAtez's staff got a strong grip on the last-eight encounter with two objectives in the first 32 minutes, Moses scoring the second with a half-volley from the edge of the penalty area. Whilst the west London clothing reach Moscow's Stadion Luzhniki a' scene of the 2008 UEFA Champions League final penalty shoot-out reduction to Manchester United FCAa' in a posture of power, the forward demands they have gone with only 1 result in mind: another victory. "We are here to try to win the game. They've good strikers and they will take our people from the start," said the 22-year-old. "We simply need to get our noses in-front and make an effort to win the game. It'll perhaps not be an easy task but we are looking towards it. If we are able to report an earlier goal which will be great for us." One section of concern for Chelsea reaches left-back, with Ashley Cole (hamstring) and understudy Ryan Bertrand (disease) inaccessible. Paulo Ferreira or 18-year-old Nathan AkA, who has made a single senior start for the club, might deputise, while David Luiz has been suggested for a return to the back four, albeit in a relatively unfamiliar place. "David Luiz has played at left-back therefore perhaps they can be an option," said BenAtez. "I have a concept, but we will educate today, after that we will determine and see how everything is. I actually do not think it'd be considered a serious problem for AkA if he's to play." For Rubin, all is not yet lost. Outplayed at Stamford Bridge a week ago, they assume the position of hostsAa' albeit in the more new limits of the LuzhnikiAa' still greatly in the link. "At this point Chelsea have an advantage, a good head start, but we shall make an effort to do everything to progress," said coach Kurban Berdyev. "Apart from [Yann] M'Vila and [Aleksei] Eremenko, all our participants have been in sound condition and willing to perform. There's no particular have to encourage my people to play in the Europe League. The more suits we play at the Stadion Luzhniki, the more relaxed we feel here. We wish the fans from Kazan can come to support us tomorrowAa' we likewise have fans in MoscowAa' but Chelsea are Chelsea and we are ready to play them regardless." AUEFA.com 1998-2013.
