Eden Hazard called himself 'the boss' at Chelsea, claims Loic Remy

Former Chelsea striker Loic Remy once reveals Eden Hazard once described himself as 'the boss' on the forward's first day of training at Stamford Bridge.

Remy, who announced his retirement from football at the age of 36, amazingly claims that the winger arrived to training with his laces undone - much to the Frenchman's shock.

When the forward was signed by Jose Mourinho in 2014, he was quick to impress from the off, but was left stunned by Hazard's mentality in training.
