Eden Hazard has spoken out in support of Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri. “The way he likes to play is more like my philosophy of football.”
Sarri has come under fire after recent heavy defeats to Bournemouth and Manchester City, but Hazard made it clear he was enjoying life under the former Napoli Coach – despite talk of him losing the Chelsea dressing room.

Sarri has come under fire after recent heavy defeats to Bournemouth and Manchester City, but Hazard made it clear he was enjoying life under the former Napoli Coach – despite talk of him losing the Chelsea dressing room.
“We were champions again in 2016-17,” the forward – who has yet to sign a new contract with the Blues – told their official website.
“The feeling was the same but the way we won it was fantastic because at the start of the season we had some problems.
“We lost against Arsenal and Liverpool and then completely changed the system. We went on an unbelievable run of winning games and at the end of the season you’re just happy to win. For the manager, Antonio Conte, it was special to win the title in his first season.
“All the managers I’ve played for have given me something. From when I started with Claude Puel at Lille, to now with Maurizio Sarri.
“They all see football in different ways which is why I’m the player I am. They have all given me important advice.
“Jose Mourinho was special, but the way Sarri and Garcia like to play is more like my philosophy of football, but they’ve all given me a lot.”
