Since the beginning of the season, no player had as many mistakes in a match of Champions League as Eden Hazard against Paris Saint-Germain (1-1). The treatment meted out to the Chelsea midfielder irritates José Mourinho, supported by some British media.
Considered the asset offensive number 1 Chelsea, Eden Hazard had not much the opportunity to shine on the lawn of the Parc des Princes (1-1) Tuesday. Etouffé by the Parisian laundry, the Belgian midfielder has not fired only once for the purpose. It must be said that former Lille has not been spared by Paris Saint-Germain players, with nine fouls suffered during the meeting. It is a record this season in a Champions League match.
Special treatment little appreciated by José Mourinho. But for the coach of the Blues, this is not something new. 'You are talking about a night of Champions League but is already more than 20 games first League and this is no different. Yet, you don't talk ever', launched the Portuguese technician. Indeed, Hazard is the player who suffered the most fouls (74) in the English Championship, before Raheem Sterling (60) and Alexis Sanchez (47). Moreover, the Special One had already alerted the media on this topic in January. 'People who like football are obliged to love Eden Hazard. But the manner in which it is treated by his opponents, match after match, without protection none of the arbitrators is that one day not discussed certainly more in England, launched after the defeat at Tottenham (3-5).
And Mourinho was keen to remind the exemplary behaviour of his wingman. 'We saw it with the fault of Verratti. Another player would have dived, is would be rolled on the ground, would have screamed and called for a yellow card. But this kid is pure and when it falls, it's for a good reason,'said the coach of the London club, evoking the Marco Verratti dangerous tackle which earned only a yellow card in the 79th minute.
The English press has obviously no other arguments to explain the low offensive provision of Chelsea decided on the side of Mourinho. 'Nine fouls, this looks like a vendetta and is not a record that Laurent Blanc's team should be proud', launched the Daily Mail before a curious conclusion. 'When we know that Parisians coveted Hazard until he signed his new contract last week, this had a smell of reprisals for having ignored their advances.' Meanwhile, The Telegraph evokes the sale strategy of the MTP to the middle of Chelsea in check. The English media pointing the excess of commitment of the Parisians, who 'gave a kick or pulled in any part of his body to prevent it from playing.' Yet, English is not the last to demonstrate commitment in a meeting. But he obviously had to find an excuse...
