Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri believes Eden Hazard can be Europe’s best player “in two years”,after his hat-trick against Cardiff.
“He can become maybe the best player in Europe in the next two years,” Sarri said. “He will improve by spending less time a long way away from goal.” Chelsea trailed for nearly 20 minutes after Sol Bamba turned in Sean Morrison’s flick from a free-kick, but never looked back once Hazard scored two quick-fire goals before the break to put them in front.
“We did not play very well in the first 15 minutes,” Sarri said. “We knew they were very dangerous from set-pieces, with long balls, but we played much better towards the end of the first half, and in the final half hour. Every day I think we need to improve – and we can. Of course, our results have been perfect, but we can do more with our performances. I think we are very dangerous going forward, but not so solid defensively.”
