Chelsea’s Eden hazard confident of returning to his best
Diego didn’t play at Tottenham but I know he’ll be ready for the next game.
Or more accurately, he threw his bib at manager Jose Mourinho.
“A top player on the bench is not happy, so for me his behaviour was normal”.
The Chelsea manager joked: “If he wants to hurt me, it’s not with a bib”.
“It may feel like and look like good old-fashioned grunt work and that is because it is, but we can not think that we are above that”. We all know what he’s capable of and he not moving anywhere near as much.
“I think Diego is very privileged”.
“I expect Diego to come back strongly”, said Ivanovic, who had captained the side at White Hart Lane in the absence of the injured John Terry.
“Us, the players, are not happy either”.
Costa has failed to recapture last season’s sparkling form, scoring three goals in 11 league appearances this term.
Costa struggled with hamstring problems last season, but Mourinho said there were no issues with his condition.
Speaking about Costa, Mourinho further added: “Physically he is fine”. He’s always a positive guy in the team.
Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho was full of praise of Eden Hazard after the Blues rescued a point at the White Hart Lane against Tottenham in Sunday’s EPL fixture.
The Spanish striker was criticised by BT Sport pundits for the lack of commitment he displayed towards his warm-ups.
“But the next game is against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge and I have to focus on them now, to see how they defended and whether they project their full-backs forward or not”.
Spurs coach Mauricio Pochettino labelled his Tottenham players “heroes” for their efforts in the scoreless draw. “I have a good relationship with him”.
This latest spat between Costa and Mourinho came just days after the pair bickered during Chelsea’s Champions League win over Maccabi Tel Aviv.
West Ham United are now without a win in four league games following a 1-1 draw at home to West Bromwich Albion.
“The game went in the direction we wanted to take, we had a very good period in the first half where we should score, and in the second half we had a couple of chances and one of them is a giant chance”. We need to keep working hard because there’s only been 14 games and today it’s too early to talk about the end of the season.
