Eden Hazard has revealed that he sent a text message to José Mourinho after their coach was sacked to effectively apologise for the way things deteriorated at the club.
Hazard scored a penalty last weekend as part of Chelsea's FA Cup 5-1 win over MK Dons. The score was badly needed for Hazard to rekindle some life into his previously sparse run of form. Prior to that penalty, Hazard had not scored since May 2015 and has been stuttering through this season so far, largely due to injury.
Hazard confessed that he sent the farewell message to Mourinho to lament his manager's departure as well as to apologise for his own failings.
We need this Hazard tomorrow. #CFC@hazardeden10 https://t.co/XT3CWhj7T0

“I sent him the message to say I was sorry he had gone and … well … just that I was sorry. We’d enjoyed all that success together last season, but this time round we hadn’t. I felt a little bit guilty because I’d been player of the year. I’d been one of the most decisive players, and this year I’d performed less well.
“I hadn’t been at the same level. So I sent that text to José and he came back to me, wishing me all the best for the future. For a team of champions to go through what we have this year even I can’t explain. Things have been better recently, but we’re still not winning games quite as we used to. No one can put his finger on what’s happened at Chelsea”
