Mourinho talking after the victory said, ‘I left out Hazard because we are conceding lots of goals. We need to defend better. We need our midfielders to be just worried in the central area of the pitch, not worrying about compensation on the left or right.
‘Playing with Willian and Pedro, the midfielders don’t have to move left or right. They know those parts are controlled.
‘It was leaving super quality on the bench, but bringing tactical discipline and hoping the team could be solid.
‘I will continue that way, or he comes in our direction and tries to emulate the same work that Willian and Pedro put in.’
