Mourinho has praised the Belgian's exceptional talent and also his unwavering humility amid his success
'I had lots of stars. Hopefully in every club I worked I had stars. But he is the humble star, yes. He is the humble star.
'He's
getting strong. Physically, mentally he's getting very, very strong. He
understands his role. 'The day before the game I told him: 'This game
we will never lose. Never.'
'But
we needed to win. He understands clearly that especially in a moment
where the team doesn't have all its power, he understands when the game
becomes strategically.
'He
understands that his talent is fundamental for the team. He was there
for us and almost a second goal when he hit the post.' Hazard also
believes he is having the best season of his career as Chelsea close in
on the Barclays Premier League title.
The
Chelsea winger said: 'I'm playing my best season ever. With my
experience, I succeed to manage the strong and weak moments in a game
better.
'Last year I played a good season, but I disappeared in some games.
'This
season I can't really remind a game where I really wasn't into. It's
impossible to be top in 40 or 50 games in a season, but I've been the
best player of the team for several times.
'My stats? People are talking more about me, but what pleases me the most, is that I'm doing better than last season.'
Hazard, still only 24-years-old, is being hotly tipped to claim the PFA Player of the Year award this season
