Chelsea forward Eden Hazard has said that Antonio Conte makes everyone work extra hard in the training grounds but he has personally improved a lot since the Italian’s arrival at Stamford Bridge.
Hazard said, “Even after a week I think I had progressed with him.
“But I think he’s shown not just at Chelsea but also at Juve that he’s a good coach and I think he has some good years ahead of him.”
Hazard, who is set to make his first club start of the campaign against Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup Wednesday following an injury-interrupted pre-season, added: “There’s a lot of tactics. It’s not always nice as a forward as you have to run, defend and everything, but at least at the weekend, you know exactly what to do, you can even close your eyes and play. That’s good.
“We work a lot. It’s not always easy in training, there are a lot of hours of training, but it bears fruit on the pitch. We play well, we won last year. You can see that that’s the key to success: work.”
Hazard spent two years under the managerial regim of Jose Mourinho where he won the Premier League, Europa League and the EFL Cup.
