Eden Hazard talks about his good connection with Costa, Fabregas and captain John Terry

It is a pleasure to play with Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa, says Hazard.

Chelsea have been enjoying a stellar season under Jose Mourinho, and the trio of Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas and Eden Hazard is one of the main reasons behind that. Both Costa and Fabregas arrived at Chelsea this summer for a combined £62million from Atletico Madrid and Barcelona respectively.

Costa already has found the net nine times while former Arsenal skipper Fabregas has assisted 10, and according to Hazard, all it took was a week for them to understand each other’s game.

“The time it takes to develop a relationship on the pitch depends on the guy,” Hazard was quoted by Standard. “Sometimes it’s quick, sometimes not. But it’s easy for me to play with them because they understand football and are very good players. We didn’t need to train two years together, just one week was enough. They know when I move and I know when Costa and Fabregas move. It’s a pleasure to play with them.”

“I don’t know how much better this team can get — we will see. Now we are first in the table and I hope we can stay there until the end of the season. I hope we can win a lot of trophies this season, one, two or three. Why not?”

When asked if he ever felt the pressure of his hefty transfer fee that cost Chelsea £32m, he spoke about how skipper John Terry has always been there for the young players.

“I would never say I don’t feel pressure — pressure is always here at Chelsea. I know in football you can be one of the best and maybe two weeks later one of the worst. It’s why you can never say ‘I am the best’. It’s an education,” he said.

“That is why John Terry is very important, not just for me but for the young players. He is a legend here, but is a big brother to all the younger guys,” he adds. “It’s always good when I speak with him. He gives me a lot of confidence because he is the captain. We are happy to have this guy in the team.”

“When I joined he just told me to enjoy myself on the pitch and try to score goals for Chelsea. For me everything is good here.
