Eden Hazard Frustrated with False-9 Role at Chelsea, Wants to Return to the Wing

By Sports Wire on February 22, 2018

Eden Hazard has said he would prefer to play in his usual role on the wing rather than be deployed as a false nine again by Chelsea manager Antonio Conte. 

Hazard was used up front in the Blues' 1-1 draw with Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League round-of-16 first leg Tuesday, but the Belgian does not feel as happy in that position. Per the Daily Star's Paul Brown, he said:

"In games like this against a quality opposition, it's difficult. You don't get a lot of balls. I think I might have touched 25 balls—and 15 of them were flying toward my head!

"That's not really playing with my qualities. I've won some aerial duels—hey against Gerard Pique! I think it's not bad, my man.

"If I had to chose, I prefer to play like I did in the last 10 minutes, but it's the manager who has the final word.

"On the wing I feel more comfortable. That's my place. We're going to see how we will play in Barcelona. We have to give the maximum. We have to win."
