EPL: Sarri reveals one problem with Eden Hazard at Chelsea

Chelsea manager, Maurizio Sarri, has said that, Eden Hazard’s biggest ‘problem’ at Chelsea is failing to understand the importance of scoring goals and providing assists.

Hazard has been impressive since the start of the Premier League season under Sarri and the Italian has already backed the Belgian to score 40 goals this season.

The 27-year-old is widely considered to be one of the best dribblers in the world but has been criticised for not being prolific enough in front of goal. However, Sarri believes that Hazard has been restricted because his main aim has been to have ‘fun’ on the pitch.

“Hazard is immense and I don’t think even he knows how much he can still improve,” Sarri told Corriere dello Sport.

“I said he could end up in the tight circle of the best three or four players in the world.

“The problem is he plays to enjoy himself and at times doesn’t realise the importance of moving from fun to reaping the rewards.

“At the end of the day, you’ve got to get the fruits of your labour.

“Hazard’s approach is a positive, but it can become a potential limitation too.

“He needs to lift his head up, look around and realise there’s a whole world in front of him that he can dictate with his feet for the good of the team and not just the individual.”
