The Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has said that he is confident that his team can recover from the 2-0 defeat suffered at the hands of Chelsea during the weekend. Chelsea have made a great start to the season after winning the opening three matches.
The arrival of Eden Hazard has transformed the fortunes of the European champions. They are now more attractive to watch and are extremely threatening in front of goal. As a result, the Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew said that he had no complaints about the defeat. He has said that any team would struggle to play against this Chelsea team, which has so many great players.
Chelsea have been one of the two clubs in the transfer window, despite winning the Champions League title last season for the first time in the history. The club has spent close to £ 80 million on several new players. One of the outstanding amongst them has been Eden Hazard, who has created a lot of goals for Chelsea in these three matches. He was once again at his best, as he created a goal for Fernando Torres and also scored a penalty to mark his first goal for the club.
“They have spent £80 million since May. Eden Hazard is a massive player for them and there are others. Anybody who comes here, even Man United and Man City, will be in trouble. They have a lot of great players here. The fixtures we have are tough, Saturday-Thursday-Saturday – I think we’ve done well. I can’t really fault my players. We could have done better on the goals really. But in the second half we showed real guts,” said Alan Pardew, whose side started the season with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham on the opening day of the season.
