Chelsea legend Hazard: I love Pochettino - and watch this youngster

Chelsea legend Eden Hazard is a huge admirer of the club's manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The ex-winger, who retired in the summer, has emphatically backed the Chelsea head coach.

Hazard believes that despite a tough first half of the season, Pochettino has what it takes to succeed at the club.

Speaking on the Obi One Podcast, Hazard said: "As a Chelsea fan, you want them to be first. You want them to win every game.

I think they have a good manager, I love Pochettino. I think he can bring the team back to where it should be, but the Premier League is so hard."

"Cole Palmer is a top, top player," Hazard added on youngster Cole Palmer.

"You know left-footers at times have something magical. You have to score penalties, man. People just say penalties are easy go and shoot! It's not that easy."
