Self-belief the key to Hazard’s great form – Conte

Antonio Conte says helping to restore Eden Hazard’s self-belief has been the key to getting the Chelsea star back to his best form.

Hazard has been rejuvenated under Blues boss Conte and his goal in Saturday’s 3-1 win at Bournemouth was his 14th of the season.[phone][/phone]

He struggled last season, attracting much criticism for his performances, but has been an integral player for the Premier League leaders this term.

“He is a great player, a great talent – and he must understand that he is a great player and never forget this,” said Conte.

“I think that every coach’s real function is not only to win, but a good coach tries to improve the players and also tries to find the right way to work with them – tactical aspects and physical aspects – to show them the situation that they can improve.

“I think a good coach, a good manager, must do this, not only win or to buy the best players in the world.”
