Oscar flourishing in Chelsea 4-3-3 formation

Chelsea attacking midfielder Oscar has stated his belief that he plays best in a 4-3-3 system.

Oscar did not enjoy the best of campaigns last season but the Brazilian has looked very good during the summer preparation games and has managed an impressive three goals in the last two outings against AC Milan and Weder Bremen.

Oscar has been left very pleased with his form over the past two matches and has stated that he is most effective when new manager Antonio Conte deploys a 4-3-3 formation.

The 24-year-old told Chelsea's official website: "I think we have played better with the 4-3-3 than when we have played 4-2-4, but we have two formations and always we try our best.

"4-3-3 is better for me because I can score more goals, and also create more and tackle in midfield which I like to do to help the team.

"In the last two games I have scored three goals so I am feeling good, we are ready and now we are all just looking forward to starting the season."
