Chelsea vs West Brom: Hazard reveals Thierry Henry’s advice
Chelsea midfielder, Eden Hazard, has credited Thierry Henry’s advice for one of his two goals against West Brom on Monday night.
Hazard scored a brace either side of Victor Moses’ goal, as the Blues won 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.
“We had two defeats but now we are back. We are Chelsea, we are the champions, we have to give everything,” the 27-year-old told Sky Sports.
“Sometimes it happens, you win and you lose. Last season we were champions. The most important thing is to work together, talk together and that’s what we did.
“We showed great character offensively and defensively.”
Hazard credited Belgium assistant coach and former Arsenal striker, Thierry Henry, with encouraging him to take more chances in front of goal.
“On the second one, when I go inside [from the flank], Thierry told me in the national team maybe I don’t shoot enough,” he explained.
“As you saw against Watford, I scored a goal when I shot [in a similar situation]. It comes with instinct. You don’t think a lot, you just think about scoring.”
