For Rafael Benitez it
will not come easy for him and his Magpies, as reality kicks in their return to
Premiership, seeing how this campaign will not be an easy endeavor.
With a club of the
likes of the Geordies with a longtime history and notable performances in the
English Premier League past, that delivered many glories to this club as well
wrote its name in gold for its achievements.
Now it is a bit weird
for this club once accustomed every one of seeing it in the league spotlights
and making all sorts of headlines in this association, seeing it as newly
promoted.
The Spaniard is well
aware of the upcoming fight he and his Toon Boys will have to face off in order
to return this club among the elite they once belonged too in EPL.
After all being in
Championship were it made their authority stand and display a one of a kind
campaign by winning this association trophy as the best club and first to earn
such honor.
Opening day finally
came and Saint James Park lived the hype of Premiership after its return to the
big circuit and looking forward to a notable campaign and making a good stand
in the table for its permanency for many years to come.
Still the tug of war
between Rafa and the club owner Mike Ashley in reference to his involvement and
more aggressive investment in the club which Ashley simply states of his lack
of monies to deliver more talent to the Toon.
In a few words,
Benitez will have to do with what he has in roster left from Championship and its
seven new players that include the likes of Javier Manquillo from Atletico
Madrid and Christian Atsu from Chelsea to mention the most important.
However, opening
against the league last edition second place squad was not an easy endeavor for
Rafael Benitez but this is football and he gladly took the challenge until that
stupid play from his captain over the Spurs Delle Alli.
Leaving his squad
with ten men and playing one of the most effective offensive attacks known for
its creativity and utmost sense of scoring with a variable of weapons in its
initial eleven.
Still this is just
one match out of many in this nascent edition of EPL and maybe NU can level its
campaign and start displaying the football that saw a revival of this club and can
be back in business.
As Benitez will have
to prepare his group for next week match, that for sure he will not have in his
lineup the likes of Jonjo Shelvey that thanks to his outbursts cost his club
dearly in points and momentum in this match.
In addition, the actuality
that this club owner has to tackle in this and many editions to come will be
one tough one as the levels of competition in EPL are becoming more and more demanding
and in order to win trophies you need to invest dearly.
Something that he has
shown certain stinginess or he does not has the resources to compete with the so-called
giants of the league in order to build an all-around contender that can stand the
game and competition.
This is not a one-man
show in the Toon, as this club needs to organized and leave the nervousness behind,
as several players are not strangers in Premiership as well for Rafa Benitez
this is not his first rodeo.
At the end both club
ownership and manager need to stop their differences and maybe in the winter
market the Spaniard can get the players he desires to front the second half of
the campaign, as for Ashley reality stinks when you have to compete.
