When asked if Chelsea's triumph was the best of the season so far, he told Chelsea TV: "Yes, but in the Champions League also.

"Since I came here, I think it is the first time we have beaten a really good and strong team in the Champions League.

Conte considers this season an opportunity for Hazard to justify such bold claims by making a proper impression on the Champions League and has sensed the player’s own determination to hoist his game to a new level. “In every game he finds a way to be decisive: to score or to make an assist for a team-mate,” said the head coach. “I love this from him, and I ask it of him because, [when it comes to] a player with his talent, it’s important to ask him to be decisive every game. If God gives you this talent, you must exploit it. My task is to try and push him to be decisive in every moment, in every game.

“Sometimes, if Eden scores one goal, he’s happy and then, if there is another situation, he prefers to make an assist rather than scoring twice. I see with Ronaldo that if he scores once, he wants two, three, four. It’s the same for Messi. So, yes, Eden can improve. It’s not about being selfish. I don’t like selfish players. I like players who are used to thinking about the team and are used to thinking about ‘us’, not ‘me’. Eden is not selfish. He’s a player who loves to play football. I like this behaviour, this attitude. But, for sure, I like to repeat to him that in every game he must be decisive.”

It's also the first time we tried to play football against a good and strong team in the CL. Yawnited fans are in for a shocker with Mourinho

For context this was in response to this. Conte is the manager and he's just trying to motivate Hazard to keep on improving:

Alvaro Morata: Eden Hazard is in the top three players in the world

[Hamilton 2,120]

Must be dissapointed in his teammates(manager?) today. He can not shine if we don’t have (want) the ball..

[Milan 17,997]

Such a sad moment when he had the ball and urged his team mates to go forward with him. And still had no one to combine with. So isolated it was incredible.

Yup there was defense and then Eden and then nothing. 

Honestly after seeing today game, I expect Eden to leave if this is the way we go against top teams. He had ZERO support. City had not only Silva and DeBruyne, but Jesus, Sane, even Fernandinho and BOTH fullbacks coming up and linking. Eden was only with Morata and after the sub he was alone. I guess thats down to Conte because against Atletico, we were linking much better.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

He's never going to win the Ballon d'or or at least get the respect his quality deserves playing for a team that plays with 10 men behind the ball all game and can barely even play football.

Honestly. Would be incredibly sad but 5 years of this nonsense is hard man. When you have a player like Eden and don’t build around him properly it’s incredibly sad. At least we’ve taken a step forward with Morata but we really do need another top quality forward to help him.

I would love to see Eden play with Fekir behind Morata.

Have to agree with many of the posts above..

Hazard has spent too much of time at Chelsea doing it all on his own..

Drogba had Lampard..

The moment Morata had to be subbed off, was really disappointing.

Him and Eden have barely had 30 minutes together in the PL

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

The moment Morata went out he lost the only support he had.  

Looked visibly frustrated with the way we played. Saw him several times urging us to get up the field to press City or provide some support when we had the ball.

Barely able to get on the ball and the moments he did there simply wasn't anything on.

We linked well against Atletico because they allowed us to. If they tried to play we would have resorted to the usual shit on a stick football. That win has really misled a lot of fans and pundits and made them forget what this team is really about. The Arsenal game wasn't even that long ago.

Can you even imagine how good Hazard would be if he was playing for that City team yesterday?

Honestly, knowing how good he is and what he can be I hope he leaves in the summer. Don't waste your prime years on low block, 25% possession teams would be my advice.

One bad loss and suddenly people are losing their mind over Hazard.

Thing is, it's not just one bad loss in a vacuum. It's a game that highlights the gulf in quality and ambition between the two clubs.

One team playing stylish, slick football  from the future. Another team playing football from the 70s. That was complete and utter domination.

Hazard is one of the calmest players and never shows his frustration but he did yesterday on several occasions. He really needs to start using the credit he has built up and demand more before signing a new deal.

Yes, I get the difference in playing style but why wait till one loss to vent all these frustrations? It's hardly a secret that we've been playing pragmatic football with the occasional brilliance for the last decade or so. So why are people acting all surprise by the lack of quality shown in games like yesterday?

If you believe the latest rumours, he's set to sign a 300k p/w contract and become the highest paid player in the Premier League after the international break.

He really needs a teammate of his quality...
