Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has backed team-mate N'Golo Kante to find success in his new midfield role, saying he needs time to adapt.
The France international has been forced into an unfamiliar role under new manager Maurizio Sarri, and the mixed results so far have led to some criticism.
Hazard told the Times (h/t Evening Standard's Tony Mogan) the criticism only occurs when the Blues lose, however:
"N'Golo's a clever guy, one of the best in his position, maybe the best in the world. N'Golo now plays six months in the different position.
