Jose
Mourinho claims Eden Hazard has joined Lionel Messi and Cristiano
Ronaldo as one of the best three players in world football.
Hazard
scored Chelsea's 38th minute winner against Manchester United and is
widely expected to be named PFA player of the year on Sunday.
Mourinho
said: 'He's a kid, but he knows that he is one of the three best
players in the world - he is coping with that responsibility.
'I had lots of stars. Hopefully in every club I worked I had stars. But he is the humble star, yes. He is the humble star.
'He's
getting strong. Physically, mentally he's getting very, very strong. He
understands his role. 'The day before the game I told him: 'This game
we will never lose. Never.'
'But
we needed to win. He understands clearly that especially in a moment
where the team doesn't have all its power, he understands when the game
becomes strategically.
'He
understands that his talent is fundamental for the team. He was there
for us and almost a second goal when he hit the post.' Hazard also
believes he is having the best season of his career as Chelsea close in
on the Barclays Premier League title.
The
Chelsea winger said: 'I'm playing my best season ever. With my
experience, I succeed to manage the strong and weak moments in a game
better.
'Last year I played a good season, but I disappeared in some games.
'This
season I can't really remind a game where I really wasn't into. It's
impossible to be top in 40 or 50 games in a season, but I've been the
best player of the team for several times.
'My stats? People are talking more about me, but what pleases me the most, is that I'm doing better than last season.'
