Hazard said: "It's true we do have a special relationship.





"What is good about him as a coach is that he lets us play. He lets me play. He is not always on at me and I really appreciate that. If it isn't good he says so, if it is good he says so. He is always direct.





"But I don't think he has changed me. He has taught me to become more professional and to be better on the pitch. I don't think I have changed my mentality. You can't change that. I am who I am. He has always taught me to get the best out of myself."





Hazard, Mourinho and Chelsea face Tottenham in the Capital One Cup final on Sunday.
