Eden Hazard 'to give everything' for Antonio Conte at Chelsea

Eden Hazard says he is pleased to work for Antonio Conte at Chelsea

Eden Hazard says he is inspired "to give everything on the pitch" for his new manager Antonio Conte.

Hazard has enjoyed a resurgence in form following the Italian's arrival at Stamford Bridge - scoring twice in four Premier League appearances at the start of the new campaign.

Chelsea slipped to a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Liverpool on Friday Night Football but Hazard has backed the Blues to bounce straight back under the guidance of Conte.

"He's a top guy, he tries to speak a lot with the players, to talk a lot, and we are pleased to work with him," the 25-year-old told Chelsea TV.

"He has the passion to do his job. He gives everything on the bench and we try to give everything on the pitch.

The Belgium international described Conte's touchline antics as 'a little bit crazy'

"He's a top manager, he's a top man. During games I try to stay focused, but sometimes when I watch the game the day after (on television) I see him. He's a little bit crazy sometimes on the bench."

Chelsea travel to the King Power Stadium on Tuesday evening to take on Premier League champions Leicester in the third round of the EFL Cup, live on Sky Sports.

Ankle and anterior cruciate ligament injuries to John Terry and Kurt Zouma respectively mean David Luiz is likely to keep his place in Conte's starting line-up.

Meanwhile, Diego Costa is expected to lead the line after scoring against the Reds and Hazard expects both Brazilian-born players to impress against the Foxes.

"Everybody is happy to see (Luiz) back," he said. "On the pitch he is a warrior. He brings that mentality. He wants to win everything. This is what we need.

"Diego is (also) a top player, he is on the pitch to score goals, he has the desire to score a goal every game and it's always good to play with him. He's sharp."

Hazard also revealed that he is helping his compatriot Michy Batshuayi adapt to life in England following his £33m summer move from Marseille.

"(Batshuayi) is learning a lot. He is trying to speak English. I am helping him," Hazard said. "I don't know if I am a good teacher but I try. He gives everything on the pitch and in training. In him and Diego we have two very good strikers.

"Sometimes we play with one, sometimes with two. It's difficult for him to sometimes be on the bench but he is still young, he has a lot to do with Chelsea and I hope he will score a lot of goals."
