Chelsea star Eden Hazard has claimed that it took him just one week to improve his game under the management of Antonio Conte.

The Belgian international returned to scintillating form last season when he scored 16 goals and created five others in the Blues' Premier League title-winning campaign.

Hazard's form dipped during Jose Mourinho's final season in charge, but it seems that the playmaker adapted to Conte's tactics quickly.

According to the Manchester Evening News, when asked if he has benefitted from the Italian's training sessions, the Belgian said: "You have to. Even after a week I think I had progressed with him.

"But I think he's shown not just at Chelsea but also at Juventus that he's a good coach and I think he has some good years ahead of him."

Chelsea currently sit third in the league table following three wins, one draw and one defeat in the top flight.
