Chelsea star Hazard slams Conte’s tactics

EDEN HAZARD has openly questioned Antonio Conte’s tactics following Chelsea’s feeble defeat at Manchester City on Sunday. The Belgian star, who is pining for a summer move to Real Madrid, was deployed as a false nine at the Etihad as Conte chose to start the game with recognised strikers Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud on the bench. But, after a 1-0 loss in which Conte’s side failed to register a single shot on target, Hazard said: ‘We could have played for three hours and I wouldn’t touch the ball. It would have been easier with a real striker.’
