Chelsea legend Hazard: I played my best football with Conte, but...

Chelsea legend Eden Hazard has stated he did not always enjoy working with the club's managers.

The Belgian was known for being lazy in training, despite putting in great performances in matches.

Hazard recently spoke about how he did not enjoy training when Antonio Conte was in charge of the club, despite Hazard leading them to Premier League glory in Conte's first season in charge.

Speaking on the Obi One Podcast with his former teammate John Obi Mikel, Hazard said: "I think my best time at Chelsea was with Antonio Conte."

On enjoying training, he said: "Not at all. All the week training. I was going out Saturday.

“I need to enjoy a little bit because I know the day after is going to be back on the training ground.

"I have to do something, it's my only 90 minutes I can enjoy. You remember him, stopping, tactics, 'no we have to do that'. Saturday was the best day for me."
