Chelsea forward, Eden Hazard, says he performed like a ghost last season, adding that he wants to be the best again after enduring a tough time as the reigning PFA Player of the Year.
The Belgium captain enjoyed a memorable 2014-15 season, scoring 19 goals in 52 appearances in all competitions which saw him land prestigious personal and collective honours.
But both the forward and Chelsea endured a torrid 2015/2016 season, and the Belgian was a shadow of his former self as he was forced to wait until January before scoring a goal.
The 26-year-old admits he was “like a ghost” as the Stamford Bridge outfit finished 10th place in the Premier League.
Hazard told Fox Sports, “I learned a lot [from last season].
“Sometimes you are at the top like we were two years ago and sometimes it is difficult for everyone.
“For me, I was the best player two years ago, but last season I was like a ghost.
“I want to be the best again and win titles.” The Blues defeat Peterborough 4-1 in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday, and Hazard added, “The league is important, but the FA Cup even more as I’ve never won it.
“So I hope that this season I can win this trophy as I have won the league and the League Cup – now I just need the FA Cup.”
