Loic Remy: Hazard convinced me he is the Boss
Remy says that when he arrived at Chelsea he asked Hazard if he takes it so lightly in training, to which Hazard said yes.
Hazard didn't defend well in training, but was always certain that he was the 'boss', reveals Remy.
"I knew Eden before I signed for Chelsea. I used to play against him when I was at Marseille and Nice, and he was at Lille," Loic Remy told Goal.com
"So, in my first session at Chelsea, he arrived on to the training pitch with his laces undone and welcomed me. I asked him: ‘Are you going to train like this?’ He said: ‘Yes, no problem'.
"I felt like going into a Chelsea training session that the intensity would be very high because it is such a big club and I put pressure on myself to perform at 100 percent.
"So, when I looked at Eden... He didn’t defend well in the session either, he gave away the ball and, at the end of the training, I asked: ‘You train like this?’ He was like: ‘Don’t worry, I am the boss'. But not in an arrogant way, as he can be casual when he speaks.
"Then, along comes the first game for Chelsea and I am on the bench against Swansea City (September 2014). Diego Costa scored a hat-trick, so Jose Mourinho brings me on and I scored a debut goal, but only after Eden danced around the box with the ball before giving it to Oscar to set it up."
Eden Hazard was a magician on the pitch but often took it easy in training, something even John Terry confirmed.
Despite that, the Belgian lead Chelsea to 2 league titles and 2 Europa League titles in his 7 years at the club.
