London's "Chelsea" team was forced to sell Thibaut Cortouis, but could also lose an even more important team player - Eden Hazard.
The Belgian was actively linked to leaving the English capital, and "Chelsea" strategist Maurizio Sarri admitted that he was really worried about it.
"Of course, I was worried about this issue. The first time I talked to him, I was sure he would stay. So I worried for about 20 days, no more.
"Chelsea" is one of the most important clubs in Europe. And I believe that one of the most important clubs in Europe cannot sell its important players without the possibility of replacing them with a player of the same level.
Hazard is one of the best players in Europe. True, he needs to work on his physical strength. Eden can still improve. We are talking about one of the most important players in Europe, but in my opinion, he can still improve.
He can be number one. It depends on him. The best technical skills, the best goal scorer, but I think it all depends on him. On his head," said M. Sarri.
