Chelsea forward Eden Hazard, has revealed that manager Jose Mourinho, wants him to find the back of the net more, like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Belgian has scored nine times in 25 league appearances this season. Ronaldo has 28 in 20 for Real Madrid, while Messi has 26 in 23 for Barcelona.
“Jose Mourinho would like for me to score more,” Hazard is quoted as saying by The Mirror. “Us forwards need to score and to pass. But I think I compensate for that given how many chances I create.
“I’m fouled a lot, there are a lot of free-kicks and penalties that I win. But he’d like me to score more, like those great players [Messi and Ronaldo] who score two or three times each game.
“What strikes me the most is that Mourinho leaves us to it. He doesn’t put much pressure on us, he takes it on him and he lets us play.
“Obviously when we don’t win he’s not happy and you can see it during the week in training, but he doesn’t do our heads in saying ‘No, do this, do that’ every second.
“He lets us express ourselves on the pitch, he observes and from time to time he sees that we need a little push, so he says something honestly, whether it’s good or not good.
“Everyone respects him, he’s won everything and he still wants to win.”
Hazard, who recently signed a new deal with the Stamford Bridge outfit, will be looking to score when they travel to face Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
