Despite his move to a false-nine role in recent matches, Eden Hazard reinforced that his most effective position is as a winger.
"I will score more goals also if I play as a winger...my position is winger," said Hazard.
Hazard also explained the difference between he and Dries Mertens, whom Maurizio Sarri worked with at Napoli.
"Dries is more of a striker than me. I am more like a playmaker. Since I started [playing] football I like to come and touch the ball. Dries is not like this, he just wants to stay in the box. That's why he scores a lot of goals".
