EPL: Hazard unhappy with new position under Sarri

Chelsea star, Eden Hazard, has said he does not believe Maurizio Sarri
will be able to transform him into the kind of prolific scoring false
nine, that Dries Mertens blossomed into under the Italian at Napoli.

Hazard passed the 100 mark for Chelsea goals in a 2-1 win over Watford
at Vicarage Road on Wednesday, having been deployed in the middle of
Sarri's three-man attack for the fourth consecutive Premier League
game.

Those four appearances have yielded three goals and three assists for
Hazard, raising hopes that he could make a similar transition to
Mertens, who netted 28 goals in 35 Serie A appearances in the 2016-17
season after Sarri shifted him centrally.

Hazard however feels he plays better as a playmaker.

"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.

"We are different, but I know Sarri likes to change some positions and
that happens sometimes," Hazard said according to ESPN.
