Maurizio Sarri Says He Wants More from Eden Hazard as a False 9

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has said he wants Eden Hazard to improve as a false nine following his excellent display against Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Belgium international has been deployed in the position for the Blues in the last two games and has impressed. In the 2-0 win over Manchester City, he set up goals for N'Golo Kante and David Luiz, while in the 2-1 win against Brighton, he assisted Pedro and scored himself.

After the game, Sarri said he thinks Hazard can still make strides to be even better, per Patric Ridge of Goal.
