Eden Hazard: 'Chelsea are less reliant on me this season'

Eden Hazard claims that he is flourishing this term because Chelsea are less reliant on him than they were last season.

Eden Hazard believes that he is flourishing this season because Chelsea are less reliant on him this year than they were last.

The Belgium winger has played a key role in helping the Blues to the top of the Premier League, and has scored 13 times in all competitions this term.

However, Hazard thinks that his performances have improved because of the additions of the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa.

He told Telefoot: "I am able to be decisive in the big matches more often now. Last year, Chelsea counted more on me that this season.

"This season, it is not just me on the pitch. When I play well, Chelsea plays well. Jose Mourinho has always got his winning mentality and he transfers that onto us."

Chelsea travel to French champions Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday.
