Eden Hazard says he believes that Chelsea's patience helped them win 1-0 over a resolute Bournemouth side on Saturday, as fans took notice of his comments and responded on social media.
Hazard sealed victory for the Blues in the dying stages of the game after Pedro had opened the scoring with less than 20 minutes to go on the clock. Speaking to the club website the Belgian said: ‘When things are not good you need to be patient, you need to move the ball quick, like we did in the second half.
"We controlled the game so I think we deserved to win. A bit like Newcastle last week, it was a difficult game and Bournemouth defended well", he added. Twitter user and Chelsea fan Owlabi Olalekan thanked Hazard for the motivational words with Essay Master reckoning that Chelsea are coming up as a team very soon.
Amen to that, thanks for the motivational words. #MondayMotivation #CFC #KTBFFH @hazardeden10

Tuchili Simbeye on the other hand states that Chelsea shine when people underestimate their chances and think they are an average side.
We shine when people think we are average just like Conte's 1st season. We are winning Epl again?
