Eden Hazard confirms he is enjoying life under new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri as ‘it’s completely different’ to working with Antonio Conte.
Conte’s Chelsea were accused of being too negative towards the end of his reign, but the Blues and Hazard have been given a new lease of life by Sarri after winning their first four Premier League games.
“Of course, I like to have the ball. Not in my own half, but in the last 30 metres,” the forward – who was heavily linked with Real Madrid over the summer – told Chelsea TV.

“Of course, I like to have the ball. Not in my own half, but in the last 30 metres,” the forward – who was heavily linked with Real Madrid over the summer – told Chelsea TV.
“I like this type of game. It's completely different than Antonio Conte or (Jose) Mourinho before. We have more ball so for me it's not bad.
“I think the big difference is we bring in two players, Jorginho and Kovacic, and they are completely different.
“Of course, they want to keep the ball, we just try to keep the ball more often, and then when we have the chance to score we just need to score.
“But when we have more of the ball we can have more danger.”
