Hazard impressed by Sarri but coy over future
Eden Hazard admits he is enjoying playing for new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri, but the Belgium star remains coy over his future plans. Hazard scored his second goal of the season in Saturday's 2-0 win over Bournemouth as Chelsea made four successive Premier League victories with Sarri in charge. The 27-year-old was repeatedly linked with Real Madrid in the close-season and hinted he was keen to leave Stamford Bridge. But Chelsea refused to sell the forward and Hazard, now in his seventh season at Stamford Bridge, is enjoying Sarri's style of play after the more conservative tactics of former Blues bosses. "I like to have the ball. Not in my own half, but in the last 30 metres," Hazard told Chelsea TV. "I like this type of game. It's completely different than Antonio Conte or (Jose) Mourinho before. "We have more ball so for me it's not bad." Hazard's contract expires in 2020 and the offer of an extension has not been taken up so far by the Belgian. Hazard was a substitute in Chelsea's
