<\/p>\n

Chelsea winger, Eden Hazard has spoken out after manager Maurizio Sarri tried to copy the style of former manager, Antonio Conte, in their 2-0 win over Manchester City on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Belgian captain admitted it was \u2018strange\u2019 that he barely touched the ball during the game.<\/p>\n

It was goals from N\u2019Golo Kante and David Luiz that gave Chelsea a superb 2-0 win over City at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Hazard, however, spent most of the game on the fringes as Sarri opted to use him in a false 9 position.<\/p>\n

City dominated possession throughout and Hazard cut an isolated figure against Pep Guardiola\u2019s men, though he did superbly to set-up Kante for the opener.<\/p>\n

Conte often used Hazard in a central striker position last season and although Hazard says he\u2019s used to the position, he admitted that it was strange not to be in possession<\/p>\n

Asked if he was happy to play up front, Hazard told Sky Sports, \u201cThe feeling is a little strange because I don\u2019t get to touch the ball a lot in this position.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I played in this position last year under Conte, so I know what to do.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
