Important result, and a big performance from Hazard?
“I think that it was a big performance from the team.
"Hazard, of course, played a wonderful match. He scored an incredible goal. The first goal is really an incredible goal. But we played really very well, particularly in the first half when we were in full control without conceding anything to our opponents.
"In the second half, in the first part, we lost the positions with the midfielders and so the match was more open. Then we played very well in the last part. So we played really a very good match.
"When Hazard is able to play like in the last two matches for the team, of course it's easier. We can win against every team.

" Now we have a very, very hard week. We have to play in 72 hours in the Europa League, and another 72 hours in Liverpool.
"A very hard week. Probably now we are ready with 20 players to play.
"Not three months ago, I think, but now we have 20 players ready to play. So, for sure, we will have to change the starting XI in the Europa League."
Can the club afford to lose Hazard?
“I don't know. I'm not the club. I don't know how to answer.
"From the technical point of view, no. Not at the moment. Also because it's impossible to find another Hazard. At the moment there isn't another Hazard, the level is so high.
"You'd have to find two players to make the level of Hazard. So I hope Hazard can stay here, otherwise we'll have to try something different."
His goal tally a compliment to your work?
“Not at all. To the mother of Hazard, I think.”
Price went up tonight?
“I don't know. I'm sure the club doesn't want to sell him. But, of course, we all have to respect his decision, I think. He's in the last season of contract (next year).
"If he wants to have another experience, we'll respect that. We'll try, of course, in any way to convince him (to stay), but it's not easy."
Has he told you he wants to go?
“No, no. Not at the moment. He told me he has to decide.”
