Goalkeeper Artem Rebrov has revealed that former Chelsea star and ex-Nigerian international, Victor Moses, actually took a swipe at his Spartak Moscow teammate, Zelimkhan Bakaev , at half-time during their Europa League clash with Napoli on September 30.
He revealed that the Spartak Moscow number 10 opted to go alone as if he were Maradona in the opening 40 minutes and Moses advised him to make more passes to his teammates.
Arguably, Spartak Moscow’s come-from-behind to win against Napoli, it was Moses’s best performance this season.
The Italian team played with 10 men for more than an hour as Mario Rui was sent off after a VAR review for a dangerous tackle on the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner.
Ten minutes into the second half, Promes fired past goalkeeper Alex Meret after Moses rolled the ball into the penalty area.
Speaking to reporters, Rebrov said “I have never seen Moses as energized as in Naples. During the break, he told Bakaev, “You are not Maradona, play pass.” Yeschenko added, “Baka, look how Insigne plays. Receives and gives to the flank, accepts and gives to the flank. They are not found; they are not trying to beat the whole team alone.”
Moses won the Europa League with Chelsea in 2013 and was in the Inter Milan side beaten 3-2 by Sevilla in the 2020 showpiece.
