EPL: Sarri speaks on Hazard’s performance as false 9 in Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Man City

Chelsea boss, Maurizio Sarri, has spoken on the performance of his key player, Eden Hazard who was deployed as false nine in their 2-0 win over Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Sarri noted that Hazard had a difficult time in the position at the beginning but did better in the second half.

Asked about the player’s performance in the position, Sarri told a post-match press conference, “He had some problems in the beginning but he played there, great second half, maybe he deserved to score today.

“I think that it’s a good option and we will play like today in the future for some matches.

“We had Eden for the first time in that position and in the first 20 minutes we didn’t work very well in the defensive movement.”
