The Blues raised eyebrows in the summer as they elected to become Falcao’s next port of call, despite seeing the Colombian strike just four goals during a woeful spell with Manchester United last season. So far, it was the Colombia international’s only goal with Chelsea after six appearances in the domestic top-flight.

Despite his poor club form, the striker remains integral to the Colombia national team, with manager Pekerman confident the player can still return to his lethal best.
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of his national team’s preparation ahead of its first matches for Russian Federation 2018 World Cup qualifiers, Falcao had words of praise and appreciation towards his coach at Chelsea.
“We always have the hope that he rediscovers his confidence”.
Radamel Falcao is backing Chelsea to bounce back from their stuttering start to the season after the worldwide break.
“However, we believe that we have the right manager to turn this season around and that he has the squad with which to do it”.
Goalkeeper and worldwide team-mate David Ospina said he had no doubts over Falcao’s form. We have the quality and skills to change this and reverse the situation. “I’m still fully motivated”.
“My moment will come”.

“I’m fine, I am evolving, increasingly I feel better, the team’s results have not helped, the collective performance has not been as expected, but we have the ability and hierarchy to reverse situation”, he said.
