Hazard is "not a leader" and must "do more"

Maurizio Sarri said Eden Hazard was "not a leader" and "do more" in another intriguing press conference.

Sarri dropped Saturday night after losing 2-0 to Arsenal, saying Chelsea players are hard to motivate.

The Blues have an opportunity to react quickly by welcoming Tottenham to Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup semi-final match Thursday night, and addressing the media, Sarri said the team leaders had to step in but denied Hazard was one of those leaders:

"He's more of an individual player than a leader," Sarri said at his pre-game press conference.

"It is very important, he is an excellent player, he can always win the game, sometimes in a minute, at the present time, he is not a leader. He is an excellent player. "

Earlier this week, Hazard admitted to frustrating virtually every Chelsea manager he had worked with. Sarri also asked Sarri he was also frustrated by his first player. & # 39; must do more & # 39;

"Sometimes I prefer him when he talks with his feet. I think that he said that coaches tell him that he has to do more, I think he has to do more. The potential is greater than the performance. He must do more, "said Sarri.

"He's a great player, but an individual player. It is instinctive, for him, it is difficult to play in one position. He likes to go with the ball, he wants it to the feet.

"For him, I think it's very difficult to play as an attacker and winger. He needs to play everywhere. "

Hazard has long been badociated with a move to Real Madrid, although he was not ruled out to stay at Chelsea, but Sarri said he knew nothing of the future of the number 10.

"No, I know very well that he's talking to the club. I do not know anything else for the moment. He has not decided yet whether he wants to stay here or live a new experience. I do not know the exact situation, but I think Eden does not know the final choice. "
