Eden Hazard has revealed that he likes to play in the no 10 position than the wider role. Antonio Conte has been using the Belgian on the left wing. The Belgian has much freedom while playing for his national side as Roberto Martinez deployed him more centrally. He played in the recent two World Cup Qualifiers and has scored in both the match.
The Italian gaffer loves to play with 3-5-2 where the role of the two wingbacks is very important. Hazard is not defensively strong and If Conte does begin to play with a three-man defence Hazard’s role will be in much danger.
The 25-year old said, “I like to play as a No. 10,” I think I have more freedom offensively. For Belgium, we have full-backs who run hard and create a lot of space, which is good and I like to play there.
“I don’t know if I will play there at Chelsea. You need to ask the manager! I play on the left hand side and I try to do the best I can.” He added.
Hazard also admitted that he doesn’t think Chelsea will change their playing style for him,”It’s true I like to play as a 10. Sometimes at Chelsea we don’t play with system with a No. 10, too. I don’t think Chelsea wants to change just for me [to play] as a 10. I did well in the past as a left winger and for now, I am trying to get back to that best again.”
