‘Belief Has Been Key For Hazard’- Conte

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte says restoring Eden Hazard’s self-belief has been the key to getting the Belgian back to his best form.

Hazard attracted much criticism last season and went almost an entire year without scoring a Premier League goal.

However, he has been rejuvenated under Conte and his goal in Saturday’s 3-1 win at Bournemouth was his 14th this term.

“He is a great player, a great talent and he must understand that he is a great player and never forget this,” said Conte, whose side are seven points clear at the top of the table.

“I am happy for Eden and he scored a good goal. He is doing a good job, good work during the game,

“I think that every coach’s real function is not only to win, but a good coach tries to improve the players and also tries to find the right way to work with them – tactical aspects and physical aspects – to show them the situation that they can improve.

“I think a good coach, a good manager, must do this, not only to win or to buy the best players in the world.”
