Hazard pleased with debut

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has insisted that he was pleased with his debut for the Blues, despite losing his first competitive game for the club.

The 21-year-old, who joined from Lille in the summer, played 71 minutes as Chelsea were defeated 3-2 by Manchester City in the Community Shield clash at Villa Park.

"Beyond the result, I am happy with that first test. I felt at ease. We still have to sort out some details in attack but it will come. I am confident. I have adapted quickly," he told L'Equipe.

"Playing playmaker or not? I have just arrived and the only important thing to me is to play - in any position. I would be even keen to play at left-back. There are a lot of talented players in that team. There is competition - it is the highest level."

Chelsea begin their Premier League campaign with a trip to Wigan Athletic next Sunday.
