Eden Hazard takes a dig at former Chelsea managers, Conte and Sarri
Chelsea news: Eden Hazard has taken a dig at Antonio Conte and Maurizio Sarri by saying that his experience under them was ‘less enjoyable’. The Real Madrid star spend three seasons under the two Italian managers at Chelsea before leaving for Spain.
Talking to Sport/Foot Magazine, Hazard claimed that he did not enjoy his time with Italian managers as the training was framed and repetitive. Meanwhile, under Zinedine Zidane at Madrid, the training is reportedly more with the ball, than off it.
“Our training (at Real Madrid) is always with the ball, working on movement and patterns. When you meet Italian coaches, like me (Conte, Sarri), you have much less pleasure. It is more framed and repetitive. You find pleasure in victory. I spent three years with Italian managers so rediscovering this pleasure does me good.”
