[Beigl 1,387]

And apparently this is what Hazard said on beIN sports. Anyone care to translate?

Cheers but am curious over this though..

"Often, I'm asked to do it all by myself and it's not easy"

Did he really say this?

People who blame Hazard really should take a close look at that 3rd goal!!

• Love the way JT marks Cahill!
• Great to see how easily Arda Turan comes in the back of Ivanovic & Ramires
• WTF would you expect a player that carries our attack... to save us in our own penalty box => we had 6(!!) defenders on the pitch!!!!!

'I'm often asked to do it alone. It's not easy' is what he said, so the translation is definitely right. He makes a very valid point though.

He basically meant that Chelsea is not made around the idea of possession but around counter attacking, which is something Mourinho once said too (because the players are more fast than strong).

[Pizy 18,368]

Great, just what we need. More controversy.

Meant the part where he's asked to do it alone. Did he really mean that as in Mourinho/the team ask him to do everything? That's the part I'm curious about..

Yep that's the more or less the right translation, he said something like this "it's not easy been asked to do it alone"

I assume so. It's not unfair to say that the team look to him to provide the attacking initiative a hell of a lot, and if he has a bad game we're screwed.

Well what do you mean with everything ? In terms of attacking plays. A lot of the times he's up against 2-3 players so he kinda has a point.

Also no secret that when we counter we rely heavily on Willian and Hazard's ability to run with the ball and take on players with usually little to no support.

[Pizy 18,368]

Hate to keep banging on about a former player, but I really think that Hazard especially misses having Mata here playing alongside him. It eased the burden in attack and he had someone to link up with and play off of.

You can understand these quotes. He's being asked to create, score, do everything really. Willian doesn't score, assist, or create really, and Oscar's form fell off a cliff but he isn't of Mata's class either.

Hopefully having more quality in front of him next season will help.

hopeless performance, and worse comments.

French is not my forte, but from what I know "Chelsea n'est pas fait pour jouer au foot" does not mean "Chelsea isn't made to play football".

In free translation it means "Chelsea is not made to play with the ball at feet all the time", ie is not a team to have a lot of possession. He says "We are good at counter-attack, a bit like Real did against Bayern"

Then he said something like "I am often asked to do everything by my own, and it is not easy". I think he refers to the fact that he is left for dead everytime Chelsea is attacking and Azpi/Cole are staying at the back to much, instead of coming and help him. Can't blame him for that, to be honest, he is always helping the LB, but he never gets the same treatment in exchange...

You are right in your translation, "jouer au foot" means using tricks and keep possession

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Could you guys (not all of you obviously) make up your mind and stick to it? Once he has good game and he is god, next time he doesnt, you crap him...its same with all the players...can you stand behind them for once?

He had bad game, it happens. He returned after 3 week injury and was heavily marked. Our attack is crap, we cant make two passes, our full backs and midfielders dont support attackers as they should. They dont create spaces or chances...its impossible for Hazard (or anyone; Willian, Torres) to do stuff alone against 10 men. Impossible. Its down to Mou to change attacking approach of the team, not on Hazard. When he will have more capable teammates in attack, he will play better himself too.

[Roquila 1,335]

Chelsea is nothing without some controversy. Hazard should't get cocky though, it's still the club over player. It's good that we have Mou as a manager, he can handle this.

Nothing cocky about his comments, just the truth. There's nothing to "handle".

You are right, it's the truth but you cant go on live television and just say that.
