Eden Hazard has made a sensational claim about Antonio Conte

Chelsea forward Eden Hazard in his latest interview for SFR Sport has made a sensational claim about manager Antonio Conte and how he runs things in training.

Conte is known as a tactical manager and since his arrival at Stamford Bridge in 2016 he has taken extra tactical training sessions, and Hazard thinks that they can play with their “eyes closed” under the former Juventus boss.

“We work a lot,” said Hazard. “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.

“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.”
