Belgium international Eden Hazard who wasn’t pleased with his side’s performance told French TV:
“Chelsea aren't set up to play football. Chelsea are set up to counter-attack.”
Mourinho used his press conference on Friday to hit out at his player, questioning his zealousness and integrity in helping his team.
Mourinho said:
“Normally you get this kind of comment from players like him: from players who can't resolve a problem like we had with the first goal.
“Against Atletico in Madrid, Willian played on the left side and Ashley Cole was protected all game.
“Against Liverpool, [Andre] Schurrle played on the left and a dangerous player like Glen Johnson was completely under control.
“Eden is the kind of player who is not so mentally ready to look back at his left-back and lives his life for him.
“If you see Atletico's first goal, you understand where the mistake was and why we conceded that goal.
“Do I want him to change? No, I just say the perfect team at the top level cannot make this kind of mistake.
“Normally, in this game, if you go to half-time winning 1-0, the game is another game.
“Atletico have to chase the game and we, with stability, have conditions for more.
“When the comments come from a player like Eden, it's normal. He's not the kind of player ready to sacrifice himself 100 per cent for the team and his mates.
“I'm not happy [a player doesn't sacrifice himself], and I've spoken all season and I've tried to improve him.”
