Hazard keen to recover title-winning form for Chelsea
Eden Hazard says he has been impressed by his first taste of working under new Chelsea manager Antonio Conte.
The Blues play Liverpool in the International Champions Cup on Wednesday night but Hazard is already looking forward to the resumption of the Premier League season and is eyeing personal and collective glory.
Last season was a disastrous campaign for the Belgian, with only six goals and eight assists in 43 appearances, as compared to the previous year where he scored 19 and put in 13 assists in 52 matches.
Hazard has admitted at Chelsea’s training camp in Los Angeles that he is determined to rediscover his best form and help Conte challenge for the Premier League title. We want to do a good pre-season.
Get treble the odds on Man United to win the Premier League next season.
“The former Lille star has been linked with a move away from Chelsea in the last few months but Hazard is determined to prove his worth under new boss Antonio Conte”.
“I am really happy to sign a new contract with Chelsea”, he said, before adding with a chuckle: “Now I am Chelsea forever”.
“Cuadrado is a Chelsea player and I hope he remains one”. All in all, Chelsea’s back line could easily become one of the best in the world with the young but talented players Kurt Zouma and Baba Rahman and carry them to the title.
“It’s not easy to play with a small injury in England as the game is very hard”.

“But this season I am ready”.
“We didn’t start the season well because of injuries and everything seemed to go against Chelsea”. We want to come back to our real position, which is fighting for the title.
“I want the fans to be able to recognise I am doing something good for the club but at the same time I want to work hard for the team and make sure we win games”. “Even when I am not at the maximum level I want to play well – and last season was hard”, he said. “We need to do this”, Hazard said.
