Hazard: Old arguments haven't weakened Mourinho relationship

The Belgian says he fell out with the Chelsea boss on a number of occasions last season but that things are "forgotten quickly" under the Portuguese's management.Eden Hazard says that he has a good relationship with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, despite a series of arguments in 2013-14. The Belgian winger picked up the Players' Player of the Year and Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year awards in a season that saw him lead the Blues to a Premier League and League Cup double. And playing in his second season under Mourinho, the 24-year-old says past arguments haven't affected his bond with the iconic coach. I get on very well with Mourinho, he told RTL. Last season we had two or three disagreements but with Mourinho everything is forgotten quickly.
Hazard contributed 14 goals and nine assists in 38 league games this season, leading to talk of Real Madrid showing interest in the playmaker, though Mourinho was quick to pour cold water on talk of an exit.And Hazard says he has embraced Mourinho's challenge to become a key figure for Chelsea: Yes I am aware [of my new status at Chelsea], perhaps [more so] off the field because I'm not somebody who talks a lot. But on the pitch I try to be the one everybody passes to, even if sometimes I don’t do the right thing.The biggest change is that the previous years I've always made great seasons, there is not a year when I was bad but there were games where I was a little unnoticed... When I have the ball, I try things, I do what I know, it means dribbling, provoking.I try, with my experience and the season I made in a big club like Chelsea, to bring what I know
