Eden Hazard expects to enjoy playing with greater freedom and less pressure on his shoulders this season as Premier League leaders Chelsea demonstrate their strength in depth by challenging for four trophies, including the Champions League.
Hazard, who flickered without dazzling for Belgium at the World Cup finals, has been impressed by how quickly Chelsea’s new arrivals have settled in at Stamford Bridge and praised Spain duo striker Diego Costa and midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
“Last season, I scored a lot of goals and maybe this season I can make a lot more passes forward because Costa is one of the best and he can score,” said Hazard. “It’s my job to score, but it’s also my job to make assists as well.”
“The new players have settled in very good. I enjoy playing with the best players in the squad and I’m very happy,” he was quoted.
“Last season we played good but we didn’t win any trophies so we want more. We can win four trophies and I hope we can compete in the Premier League and Champions League for a long time throughout the year.
