AS Monaco midfielder Cesc Fabregas has recalled how Antonio Conte managed Eden Hazard at Chelsea.

The three personalities came together to win the Premier League title with Chelsea before going their separate ways.

Cesc, speaking with L'Equipe, revealed how Conte challenged Hazard, now with Real Madrid, about his lack of a defensive game.

He said, "One day, Conte said to us - I think it was (Eden) Hazard: 'OK, you don't want to defend. So score me two or three goals in every game.

"If you get them, you can do whatever you want. Otherwise, you'll defend like everyone else...'"
