Hazard criticizes Mourinho’s tactics after defeat to Atletico Madrid

    

Eden Hazard has taken a swipe at Jose Mourinho’s tactical set-up, after they were dumped out of the Champions League by Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Although the Blues took the lead through Fernando Torres, goals from Adrian Lopez, Diego Costa and Arda Turan turned the tie around and set up a Madrid derby in the final next month.

 

After the match, Hazard admitted that they had to chase the game with the way Mourinho set up the team.

“I don’t know what we lacked,” the winger told beIN Sport. “After scoring, we had the game in our hands. Maybe they wanted it more than we did… It was an intense game. Beautiful to watch with opportunities.

“I’m sad but logic has been respected because they deserved to qualify.
“Chelea is not made to play football. We’re good on the counter, a little bit like Real against Bayern.
“We did it well tonight since we scored. But their goal hurt us before the break. We failed to make the difference in the second half.

 

“Often, I’m asked to do it all by myself and it’s not easy. It was a complicated game. It will be a lesson for us regarding next year.”
