Conte on Eden Hazards form

 

REVEALED: Conte shares the secrets behind Hazard’s revival

Eden Hazard has scored goals in three consecutive games for the first time in his Chelsea career, and Antonio Conte has revealed some of the secrets behind his success.

The 25-year-old won the PFA Player of the Year in 2014 when Chelsea went on to win the Premier League title, but there were fears that his form might struggle to recover after his side slipped to tenth place last season.

Hazard suffered a difficult season last year under Jose Mourinho where he went 356 days without a goal in the league, but Conte gave an insight into why he is scoring more goals. "I think that Eden is playing now more close to the goal," Conte said. "He's participating more in offensive situations. I think it's better for him, this type of situation, which sees him staying in a position where he can finish easier compared to in the past."
