Eden Hazard has admitted he had “less pleasure” playing under Antonio Conte and Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea during his final three seasons at Stamford Bridge.

The Belgian ace, who now stars for Real Madrid, was speaking to Spanish publication AS after his summer transfer to Spain.

He said: “Our training (at Real Madrid) is always with the ball, working on movement and patterns.

“When you meet Italian coaches, like me (Conte, Sarri), you have much less pleasure.

“It is more framed and repetitive. You find pleasure in victory. I spent three years with Italian managers so rediscovering this pleasure does me good.”
