Hazard happy to defend

Eden Hazard admits that 'even' he wants to defend for this unbeaten Chelsea side.

The Belgian has previously been criticised for his work ethic but Jose Mourinho has inspired him to track back - a philosophy that has seen them unbeaten in 21 games this season.

"Defensively we are very strong. All the players want to defend for the team, even the attacking players, even me. We are very strong and it’s important," says Hazard.

Teammate Oscar agrees that defensive resolve is almost as important as attacking flair in this all-conquering Chelsea side.

"The manager speaks before every game and he tells us not to be too confident," said Oscar. "Mourinho speaks before the games and makes sure our feet stay on the floor.

"We have so many games to play and we need to continue to win them. Of course he wants us to stay confident, but not too much because that can be dangerous.

"He tells the attacking players to go for goals, to play our football, but when you don’t have the ball you have to defend. That is the way we have been winning games."
