The club’s official magazine celebrates its 150th issue this month and features an interview with Eden Hazard…

The latest edition of Chelsea, available now in print and digital format, features an exclusive chat with Eden Hazard, whose dazzling form this season has played a huge part in helping the Blues back to the top of the Premier League standings.

As well as discussing our club-record winning run and analysing the season so far, the Belgian offered some insight into his mentality and what he aims to achieve every time he pulls on the famous blue shirt.

‘For me, football is like this: I go on the pitch and I try to enjoy it,’ he told the magazine. ‘I don’t look at statistics, I don’t look at goals, I just want to go on the pitch.

‘I prefer to win 5-0 and I play an amazing game, but don’t score or assist, than play a bad game where I score two goals and we win 2-0.

‘Football is simple, you just have to win games, so I go on the pitch, I try to do my best and try to make the fans happy.

‘This is why I play – for my enjoyment and also for the fans’. It’s like when I go to watch a movie or a spectacle, I want to be happy. For me, when all the fans come to a game, they have to be happy, so it’s my job to do make sure they are and I try every game.’

There was rare game recently when Hazard and his colleagues were unfortunately unable to make the Chelsea fans happy, but he is refusing to let that concern him unduly, as he explains in the interview.

‘The system is good and the players around me are doing well. This season everyone is playing at their top level – except for one game against Tottenham, but we can’t win every game.

‘We enjoy to play in this system and we don’t have to be sad after losing to Tottenham because football is difficult and you can’t win every game. Two years ago we lost 5-3 there and at the end of the season we finished as champions, so I hope for the same this season. We will see – we have a lot of games to play, but we are ready for the challenge.’
