3 lessons from Chelsea’s season opener against Huddersfield

#3 Hazard transforms Chelsea into a different outfit

Huddersfield Town v Chelsea FC - Premier League - Eden Hazard

The loudest roar from the Chelsea fans came in the 74th minute when Real Madrid target Eden Hazard came on to the field to replace the impressive Willian.

The Belgian captain terrorized the defense and almost ran at will past 4 players before setting up Pedro for Chelsea’s third goal. While the game against Arsenal may be too soon for him to play the full 90 minutes, the Chelsea faithful will be excited to see Hazard play under this system.

Hazard, who completed six take-ons in just a 14-minute cameo, will be itching to play under Sarri. This quick passing and attacking approach should sit well with Hazard and can really help in reaching the elite level he is capable of.

Hazard’s introduction added more bite to the Chelsea front line, and, should he decide to snub Real Madrid, he will be central to everything that Chelsea has to offer while going forward.
