M. Sarri: "I made a mistake by saying Hazard is one of the best players in Europe"

London's Chelsea coach Maurizio Sarri, after the fifth consecutive win, jokingly said at a press conference that he was wrong when he said that Eden Hazard is one of the best players in Europe.

The strategist corrected himself and stated that the Belgian is currently the best footballer on the Old Continent.

E. Hazard contributed to Chelsea's 4-1 win against Cardiff with his hat-trick. The player's athletic form is positively shaping the mood for all the Blues fans this season - he has already scored five goals.

"At first, I said Hazard is one of the best players in Europe. Now, I have changed my opinion and I think he is the best.

I think he can continue to improve and become even better. He can save a lot more energy when he plays in the opponents' half.

I believe he can surpass the 30-35 goal mark this season," Sarri said.
