Former Italy manager Conte has made an immediate impact at Stamford Bridge since arriving in the summer and Hazard has explained the reasons why he is not quite the same as Manchester United’s Mourinho. “In tactics and training we do more with Conte,” he told Thierry Henry for Sky Sports. “We work a lot of tactical positions and we know exactly what we have to do on the pitch, where I have to go and where the defenders have to go. “We know exactly what to do.
With Mourinho, he put in a system but we didn’t work lots. We know what to do because we play football, but maybe the automatisms were a little bit different. “With Mourinho, Nemanja Matic was behind me in the season when we won the title and sometimes I stayed in front and Matic did the job. “With Conte it’s different. I close more inside because Marcos Alonso is there as a wing-back. I just need to be ready to counter-attack if we get the ball.”
