Chelsea ace Hazard: Where Mourinho demands I improve...

Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard admits manager Jose Mourinho is always pushing him to improve his game.

Hazard penned a new deal with Chelsea last week.

"Jose Mourinho would like for me to score more," Hazard told Telefoot. "Us forwards need to score and to pass. But I think I compensate for that given how many chances I create.

"I'm fouled a lot, there are a lot of free-kicks and penalties that I win. But he'd like me to score more, like those great players (Messi and Ronaldo) who score two or three times each game."

He added: "Apart from my last season in France I was always reproached for not being clinical enough, a good player but not clinical. Progressively I've taken that on board and I've often managed to be clinical in the big games.

"I'm continuing to improve. I'm only 24 and I've done some pretty good things in football already. So I hope it continues like this, that we'll win trophies this year and again next year. We'll be able to get better every season."
