Tottenham's Nacer Chadli "more confident" playing under Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham Hotspur winger Nacer Chadli has insisted that he and his teammates are playing with "more confidence" under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The 25-year-old was linked with a summer exit after struggling to find form under former managers Andre Villas-Boas and Tim Sherwood.

Following the arrival of Pochettino from Southampton, Chadli bagged two goals and an assist in Spurs' 4-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers on Sunday.

"I am very pleased," the Daily Star quotes Chadli as saying. "I am happy. Everybody is happy. Players have been given a chance and showed what they can do.

"I think we are now more confident and we showed that against QPR. We made it easier for ourselves by scoring early on, but we then created a lot of chances and kept the pressure on."

Pochettino has a 100% record so far following wins over West Ham United and AEL Limassol in the Europa League.
