[article=http://www.espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1803570/eden-hazard-admits-chelsea-not-set-play-attacking-football-atletico-madrid-defeat?cc=5901] Hazard, who managed three shots and led the Blues with two on target on Wednesday, told beIN Sports' French station after the match: “I don't know what we lacked.
“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 [Atletico] deserved to qualify.
“Chelsea is not made to play football. We're good on the counter, a little bit like Real against Bayern.”
Atletico right-back Juanfran twice beat Hazard in moves that led to two of Atletico's goals, but the Belgian bemoaned a lack of assistance.
“Their goal hurt us before the break,” he said. “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.”[/article]
I really hope Mourinho flips, and sells him ...
