Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has taken aim at Chelsea star Eden Hazard.

Pochettino recalls the likes of Hazard stating they wanted Leicester to win the title in 2016.

Hazard said:

We don't want Tottenham to win the Premier League - the fans, the club and the players.

Hazard said this ahead of a bad-tempered 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge in May that extinguished Tottenham's hopes once and for all.

And Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri - who was unaware of Pochettino's remarks - declared yesterday:

I think the title is a fight between City and Liverpool.

Pochettino has not forgotten Hazard's comment as he called for rival players and managers to keep their opinions quiet this time around.

He said:

When you are professional, some opinions you cannot make public.

Because after you create a big problem like what happened at Chelsea. That was more like a battle than a football game. Why did that happen? You know very well.

That's why it's compulsory to behave professionally. We translate a lot of emotion to the people. We are public persons."
