Eden Hazard has responded to claims that he has fallen out with manager, Jose Mourinho, according to Get West London.
Hazard has suffered a serious drop in form this season, the Belgian playmaker lit up the Premier League with tremendous skill last season which drove Chelsea almost single-handly to the Premier League title.
Rumours have suggested that his dip in form is a result of a falling out with ‘the special one’. Hazard denies any fall out with Mourinho:
I heard a lot of things about this, but no, everything is good with him, I don’t have a problem with him. He is the best manager. He is the best manager for Chelsea and we hope we can win a lot of trophies together.
Hazard admits the club want to continue now and secure a top four place:
We want to keep going like this and we want to finish in the end in the top four.
It looks like Hazard has turned a corner from his bad start now, which could all have come from a change of position. Chelsea’s number 10 played in behind striker, Diego Costa on Saturday and was given much more of a free-role.
It benefitted Chelsea as Hazard put in his best performance of the season and caused the Norwich defence a number of problems. He admits this is something he and Mourinho have considered:
I said to him: ‘Maybe we have to try to change something. If I can play number 10?’ And we try, I played a very good game in the (League) Cup in Stoke. And, (against Norwich), it was the same.
I just want to be on the pitch. And if I play number 10 or on the flanks it’s not a problem.
