Mourinho not happy with Hazard for leaving penalty to Drogba

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, has spoken about his displeasure at Eden Hazard’s decision to leave a penalty for Didier Drogba, as they defeated Maribor 6-0.

The Ivorian doubled the Blues lead from the spot, after a defender handled in the area.

Mourinho explained that his number one penalty taker is Hazard, but said he was happy in the end, after Drogba tucked away the spot kick.

He said: “I was surprised that Eden Hazard gave the ball to Didier Drogba for the penalty. I wasn't particularly pleased, no.

“I have my choices and Hazard is number one. Because it was a goal, I was happy.

Speaking about his team’s performance, Mourinho says he was pleased with their serious and professional approach to the match.

“We played seriously. We faced the game in the right way and even at half-time at 3-0 the boys kept playing at a good speed and with good quality,” he said.

Loic Remy opened scoring at Stamford Bridge with a crisp finish, but hobbled off afterwards holding his groin.

“Loic Remy has a problem in his groin, I don’t know. Normally a muscular problem is a muscular problem so a couple of weeks,” Mourinho said.

“I was not expecting Didier to play for 75 minutes but he had to come on.

“Now he has to improve his condition, we know the player he is and we know he can still give us a lot.”
