Eden Hazard does not sacrifice himself for Chelsea - Mourinho
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has questioned midfielder Eden Hazard's commitment during matches.
Hazard, 23, claimed after the 3-1 defeat by Atletico Madrid on Wednesday that the Blues are set up to counter-attack and not to take the initiative.
"When the comments come from a player like Eden it's normal because he's not the kind of player to sacrifice himself for the team," said Mourinho.
"He's not mentally ready to look to his left-back and leave his life for him."
Mourinho added: "Normally you get these kind of comments from players like him, from players that can't resolve a problem like we had in the first goal.
"If you see the first goal of Atletico you completely understand where the mistake was and why we conceded that goal."
Striker Fernando Torres had put Chelsea in front in the 36th minute, but eight minutes later Spanish forward Lopez swept in from Juanfran's cutback.
The away goal gave Atletico a precious advantage, on which they built when Diego Costa and Arda Turan scored twice more for the Spanish side.
Diego Simeone's Spanish league leaders will play city rivals Real in the Lisbon final on 24 May, while Chelsea face their first season without a trophy since 2010-11.
