Eden Hazard Says He 'Doesn't Care' About Maurizio Sarri's Leadership Criticism

Chelsea star Eden Hazard has said he wasn't fussed by perceived criticism from manager Maurizio Sarri regarding his leadership skills.

The Blues boss said the Belgium international is "more of an individual player than a leader" in the buildup to the team's showdown with Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg on Thursday.

In that encounter Hazard played a starring role, as the forward helped the team to a 2-1 win on the night, with the Blues eventually clinching the tie 4-2 on penalties.

Afterwards he was asked for his opinion on his manager's assessment, per Sky Sports (h/t Dom Farrell of Goal).
