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

On target a week ago in Chelsea FC's 3-1 first-leg beat of Hamilton Academical Rubin Kazan, Victor Moses says the Blues hope to land yet another early blow against the Russian side to kill off the tie and rubber-stamp their devote the UEFA Europa League semi-finals. Rafael BenAtez's team got a firm grip on the last-eight experience 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 ensemble get to Moscow's Stadion Luzhniki a' world of the 2008 UEFA Champions League final penalty shoot-out loss to Manchester United FCAa' in a position of power, the forward insists they have sailed with only one outcome in mind: another victory. "We are here to attempt to win the game. They have great strikers and they'll take our faces from the start," said the 22-year-old. "We should just get our noses in-front and make an effort to win the game. It will maybe not be a straightforward task but we're looking towards it. If we are able to score an early goal which will be perfect for us." One part of concern for Chelsea are at 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 membership, might deputise, while David Luiz has already been recognized for a return to the four, although in a relatively new situation. "David Luiz has played at left-back therefore perhaps they can be an option," said BenAtez. "I have an idea, but we will train today, next we will choose and see how everything is. I really do not think it would be described as a big problem for AkA if he has to play." For Rubin, all is not yet lost. Outplayed at Stamford Bridge this morning, they assume the role of hostsAa' although in the more unfamiliar confines of the LuzhnikiAa' still greatly in the tie. "At this time Chelsea have an advantage, an excellent head start, but we will attempt to do every thing to progress," said coach Kurban Berdyev. "Apart from [Yann] M'Vila and [Aleksei] Eremenko, all our participants are in good condition and prepared to play. There's no special have to motivate my people to perform in the Europe League. The more suits we play at the Stadion Luzhniki, the more comfortable we feel here. We wish the fans from Kazan can come to guide us tomorrowAa' we likewise have fans in MoscowAa' but Chelsea are Chelsea and we're willing to perform them regardless." AUEFA.com 1998-2013.
