The Belgian winger has been linked with a big-money move to Paris
Saint-Germain but his team-mate expects the 23-year-old to still be at
Stamford Bridge next season
Chelsea forward Andre Schurrle believes Eden Hazard will remain at
Stamford Bridge despite receiving public criticism from manager Jose
Mourinho.
Hazard heads to the World Cup with Belgium on the back of a fine
season at club level, yet his future has been the subject of
speculation.
After the Stamford Bridge club exited the Champions League to
Atletico Madrid at the semi-final stage, the 23-year-old appeared to
question the tactics of manager Mourinho, who subsequently suggested
Hazard was “not the kind of player ready to sacrifice himself 100 per
cent for the team”.
French champions Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with a move for
Hazard, with coach Laurent Blanc openly airing his admiration for the
forward.
Yet Schurrle, who has just completed his first season at Stamford Bridge, expects to play alongside Hazard again next term.
“The manager and the club know that Eden Hazard is a very talented
and good player. I think we should not overestimate these things,” said
Schurrle in a press conference held at Germany’s training camp ahead of
the World Cup.
“Of course statements were published, but I believe Eden is very
happy to be with Chelsea and Mourinho is happy to have him. Next season
everything will be all right again.”
Asked for his thoughts on Mourinho, the German replied: “I admire his
attitude and his way of thinking. It’s all about winning. He wants to
win every game.
“He regards every title and every victory as a matter of course, no matter who’s the opponent.
“I admire his will. I’ve never experienced something like this before. His greed for success is impressive.”{GOAL}
