Chelsea winger Eden Hazard must exploit his talent in order to prove he is one of the world's best, according to manager Antonio Conte.
Hazard was key in Chelsea's 2-1 Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday and Conte has challenged him to reach those heights against Manchester City on Saturday.
"Eden, in every game, he finds a way to be decisive, to score or to make an assist for a team-mate. I love this," Conte said.
"If God gives you this talent, you must exploit this talent. My task is sometimes to try to push him to be decisive in every moment, in every game.
"This season has started for him with a big game against Atletico Madrid and now he has to show this season that he deserves to stay at the top with the best."
The Belgian was touted as one of the world's best by his team-mate Alvaro Morata earlier this week, who said the 24-year-old is alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in terms of ability.
But Conte thinks Hazard will struggle to match the goal tallies of the La Liga pair unless he changes his mindset.
"If he scores one goal, he's happy and then, if there is another situation, he prefers to make an assist rather than scoring twice," Conte added.
"If (Ronaldo) scores once he wants two, three, four. It's the same for Messi."
