Chelsea forward Eden Hazard has lifted the lid on why Chelsea are playing so well under Maurizio Sarri and why they could end up with more wins under the new coach.
The football Chelsea have been playing has been some of the best we have been treated to at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are outclassing their opponents every time they step unto the pitch these days, and that makes them an attractive club to watch even for the neutrals.
When Sarri revealed Eden Hazard was to remain at Chelsea this season, and snub a move to Real Madrid unlike his compatriot Thibaut Courtois, many did not realize the masterstroke of business activity that Chelsea had done. They secured their best players and he is one of the reasons they are still in contention for the Premier League title despite only four games being played.
But the Belgian takes the attention from himself and puts it all on his new manager Maurizio Sarri. Hazard says Sarri always wants the ball up the pitch and the reason they seem so comfortable winning games even when the opposition team sits deep in defense.
“We just need to play quicker. The manager doesn’t like it when we just keep the ball at the back. He wants the ball moving forward. We are trying to do this in training and also when we have a game.
We want to be champions at the end, even if we know it is hard. City we know are very, very strong, Liverpool are strong, Tottenham are very strong, so we will see at the end, but we want to be on the top.”
