Hazard says he wants to stay with Chelsea – where he can win ‘every’ trophy.
The Belgium playmaker has played a key role in propelling Chelsea to an
early lead in the Premier League title race and Jose Mourinho seems set to
tie the midfielder down with a new contract to fend off interest from the
likes of Paris Saint-Germain.
The 23-year-old had a couple of run-ins with the Blues boss last season but
says his relationship with the Portuguese is now better than ever and he’s
determined to deliver on the field to help Chelsea clinch plenty of
silverware in this campaign.
“I’m in one of the best clubs in the world and I can win every trophy
because we have a very strong team. I don’t want to leave,” he told Sky
Sports, ahead of his side’s Super Sunday clash with Arsenal.
“Last season I did some mistakes but we [he and Mourinho] are friends. Not
only for the football but outside the pitch we speak together and he gives
me a lot of confidence and it’s always a pleasure to play for him.”
Freedom
Another change from last season is Hazard’s role in the side. He says, with
the arrival of summer signings Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa, he has been
granted more freedom by opposition teams.
And Hazard believes the likes of Fabregas and Costa can also make him a
better player.
“It’s different to last season,” he said. “I have a lot of freedom now
because I remember last season a lot of games one, two or three players were
against me, and now it’s different because they have to take Costa or
Fabregas, not just me.
“If I want to be one of the best I need to be in one of the best teams. I
need help, I need a good team and that is what I have here.”
