Eden Hazard

“I always liked No. 10 because I loved Zidane. He was my role model. I always wanted to play like him.”

“The FA Cup for all the fans does mean something special.”

“Deep down, I never wanted to see Mourinho fired. We experienced some very beautiful things together in 2015.”

“The Belgian fans expect a lot of me in the Belgium team. It is normal - they don't forget that I cost Euros 40m. I totally understand.”

“I'm not in search of records like some other players. If I can score between 15 and 20 goals each season, I will be very happy.”

“My target is to give everything, and only if we win the trophies will I be relaxed.”

“Any strengthening of the squad, in a League and Champions League which demands so much, is a good thing because you need many top quality players.”

“The future is always the same, and that is to win trophies - next season, in two and three years.”

“I am happy with my form; I just need to score a couple of goals. I want the ball. I want to create something.”

“When I was small, I was the same as everyone else. I used to play in a small council estate nearby. But it's really my family who taught me. I started watching my dad play from the age of two. I wanted to be like him.”

“I like to play as a No. 10. I think I have more freedom offensively. For Belgium, we have full backs who run hard and create a lot of space, which is good, and I like to play there.”

“At 21, Real Madrid or Barcelona would have been more difficult for me. If I play well enough at Chelsea, I could win my place in the starting team, and my priority is to play.”

“Why change? If you're happy, and things are going really well at one place, there is no need to change.”

“The directors told me they were going to recruit good players with whom I could play decent football. Marko Marin, Oscar and me, we like to have the ball at our feet. Juan Mata likes the ball; so does Ramires.”

“These days, I'm always trying to have lots of touches, to be involved, and to play my football for 90 minutes.”

“We don't look at records, but if we can make history in this club, we will. It's not only about Chelsea, this league.”

“We feel good. We are full of confidence. We take game after game and try to win every game.”

“I can still take the hits; it's not a problem for me. I accept the blows. I can take the punches like a boxer.”

“Football is good, but family, close friends, my brothers - I have family everywhere - is the most important thing.”

“I knew that Chelsea was a club that changed its manager reasonably often.”
