Eden Hazard urged to be more like Cristiano Ronaldo as Antonio Conte tells Chelsea star: 'If God gives you this talent, you must exploit this talent'

Eden Hazard is off the leash and ready to start his first Premier League game of the season — four days after dazzling in Madrid — with a new challenge set by Antonio Conte.

The Chelsea manager wants Hazard to add the ruthless mentality of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to his unquestionable natural ability and the consistency of last season.

‘Sometimes, Eden, if he scores one goal, he is happy and then, if there’s another situation, he prefers to make an assist rather than scoring twice,’ said Conte.
