​Chelsea star Hazard advises Hudson-Odoi on success

Chelsea star Eden Hazard has some advice for his young teammate Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The English winger made his first Premier League start for Chelsea against Brighton at home.

And he made an instant impact, putting in a cross for Olivier Giroud to slot home for the first goal in a comfortable win.

"I think for him it is easy because the players he has around him are quite humble," said Hazard to the Evening Standard.

"If we were all thinking we are the best, for him it can be hard to stay humble. But he is intelligent and has a family who care for him.

"You know, I told him it is the best thing if he stays humble at first — just work in training, score goals and then just be happy on the pitch. He can go very far.

"How did I stay humble at his age? I was not at first listening to everything. Then I think my family also helped me.Things can happen very quickly in football. You can be at the top and then in two months everyone can forget about you.

"But I think if you keep your feet on the ground and train hard… if he wants to ask me something I will tell him, no problem, but he is a great player already."
