Eden Hazard, a former star of Chelsea Football Club, recently shared his thoughts on Arsenal's performance in the Premier League this season. He noted that while Arsenal won the title last year, they sometimes played "very bad" during matches, yet still managed to secure victories. Hazard believes that for Chelsea to challenge for the Premier League title this season, they must first improve their defensive stability, mirroring Arsenal’s strong backline.
Xabi Alonso’s Arsenal have started the season impressively, scoring 10 goals in four Premier League games. However, they have only accumulated seven points from a possible 12, which includes wins against Fulham and Brighton, followed by a 2-2 draw at home to Hull City and a loss to Arsenal. Despite this, they have conceded just one goal so far, highlighting their defensive solidity.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have already conceded nine goals in the Premier League this season. Hazard emphasized that if they hope to remain competitive with Arsenal, they need to address their defensive issues first. He acknowledged that while Arsenal's current team is performing well, their success last season was partly due to experience, something he believes younger teams like Chelsea are still developing.
In a recent conversation with former teammate John Terry, Hazard discussed Chelsea’s current attacking trio: Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers, and Joao Pedro, who is set to miss a match against Brentford. Hazard compared the trio to his own past playing style with Willian, calling it a "big compliment" from Terry. While acknowledging the players are still young and have room to grow, Hazard praised their current form and the excitement they bring to the team. Terry added that the trio's performance will be crucial, especially in high-stakes matches at home, where experience often plays a significant role in securing results.
