Mourinho says Hazard always puts Chelsea ahead of personal glory

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has hailed the team ethic of Eden Hazard.

Even though Hazard is also expected to earn the Football Writers' award as well this term, Mourinho says winning the title is the Belgium star's main priority.

"The most important thing is the team target, the objective we establish for the season as a team," he said. "If he wins a Premier League this season, fantastic. If, on top of that, he has some individual awards, it's nice.

"I think he is now (one of the best three players in the world), but this is not our culture in this country, our culture in this club. Even my culture as a coach, to be going in this direction: to talk about who is the best, second best, third best...In this moment, he's a fantastic player, a fantastic talent."
