5 reasons why Eden Hazard must leave Chelsea

Should Hazard leave?

#4 An unyielding Antonio Conte

Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
A tad too obstinate?

A close-up camera to Antonio Conte will tell the story. A highly energetic and animated figure on the touchlines, who goes absolutely berserk when his team scores and equally agitated for the most trivial things, like a "wrongly given" throw-in. Imagine him in the training ground then?

Of course, it may be pure passion from the Italian, but there is no doubt about the fact that he is a tough character to be around.

Hazard has made the left wing his own from day 1 and has been bamboozling defenders with ease, but Conte has often made him play through the centre and has even played him as a false 9. This change has affected Hazard's natural game and more so in the bigger games where he has looked tepid.

There have also been matches which were crying out for some inspiration from Chelsea, in which Conte would eventually substitute Hazard off- most notably against Manchester United and Leicester City.

He has even questioned Conte's tactics this season and team-mate Thibaut Courtois seems to be equally baffled.
