- Eden Hazard has been told by Maurizio Sarri to score my goals this season
- But the Belgian believes he is not sure if he can meet up with Sarri's demands
- The 28-year-old is just four goals shy of his best scoring record at Chelsea
Eden Hazard has received a special request from Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri he should score more goals but the attacker thinks otherwise.
The Belgian has 12 goals to his credit in the Premier League, four short of his best ever tally at Stamford Bridge in the 2016-17 campaign where he scored 16.
But despite his superb scoring form for the Blues this season, the 28-year-old think the Italian manger is asking for too much.

The former Lille star has also provided 10 assists in 24 League games this term and he told The Times: "I'm not at all selfish.
"The way I am can be a weakness to be the best player in the world. Managers like [Jose] Mourinho, [Antonio] Conte, now with Sarri want me to score 40, 50 goals a season but can I do that? I'm not sure.
"Maybe they think I can, but I know myself and I don't think I can. But I will try.
"I like to be 'the star' but I like also when I can pass the ball to another for him to score, and it is not just about me. It's about everyone. My target is to help the team to win something."
The Belgium captain has hinted about a possible move out of Stamford Bridge and Real Madrid are said to be ready to splash the cash.
Hazard is also relishing his combination with on loan striker Gonzalo Higuain adding Sarri's tactics will bring the best of out them in weeks to come.

Discussing 60-year-old Sarri, Hazard added: "I like this kind of football. Sarri is a great manager. He's an old man but the way he thinks is the same way I think about football. When we have the ball, we have a lot of freedom, not just me but the striker and the right [winger] Willian or Pedro, so we can move a lot.
"I've only played two games with Higuain and I know we can do something great together, not only with him but also with the other strikers, the other winger.
"Chelsea is not about Higuain and Hazard, it is about 25 players. But Higuain is a fantastic striker."
