Chelsea striker Giroud: Hazard and I have a special relationship

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is happy for Eden Hazard over his current form.

Hazard hit a hat-trick for their win over Cardiff City.

Giroud said: “It's very nice from him (Hazard). He knows what I think about him, he knows how much I enjoy playing with him.

“We have a special relationship. He knows how to play with me, I know how to play with him. It's good for us and good for the team.

“We all feel satisfied in the dressing room. We want to carry on the good momentum, we are on a good run. We are very ambitious, so every game is very important.

“We knew Cardiff would be tough to play against, especially because they are very physical and dangerous on set-pieces, as we saw for the goal. But the most important thing is to react with a strong team character and we know we can come back in any game.

“It was vital to bounce back after their goal as it keeps our confidence high."
