Chelsea ace Hazard: How I frustrated Mourinho, Conte and now Sarri...

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard says he's not selfish enough for his managers.

Hazard has netted 12 times in the Premier League this season, a tally which is just four short of his best ever return for the Blues — he scored 16 goals in the 2016-17 campaign.

He told The Times: "I'm not at all selfish.

"The way I am can be a weakness to be the best player in the world. Managers like [Jose] Mourinho, [Antonio] Conte, now with Sarri want me to score 40, 50 goals a season but can I do that? I'm not sure.

"Maybe they think I can, but I know myself and I don't think I can. But I will try.

"I like to be 'the star' but I like also when I can pass the ball to another for him to score, and it is not just about me. It's about everyone. My target is to help the team to win something."
