Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack says Eden Hazard needs to accept the responsibility of being the best player at the club.
Chelsea star Eden Hazard needs to handle expectations if he is to produce his very best form for the club, former midfielder Michael Ballack has said.
The Belgium international inspired Chelsea to a Premier League and League Cup double in 2014-15, but endured a hugely disappointing campaign last year as the champions finished 10th in the top flight.
Manager Antonio Conte said last month that Hazard, along with Chelsea's other leading players, "must understand that there is the ability to work to prove and to show that, 'Now I am a top player, but I want to become top, top, top and want to stay there'".
