After the game Hazard appeared to criticise Chelsea's tactics on the night, as he said that his team were not set up play football, but only to counter attack.
But Mourinho, whose side face Norwich tomorrow in their penultimate league game of the season, is still in with a chance of the Premier League title, bit back: "Eden is not the kind of player ready to sacrifice himself 100% for the team and his mates.
"I'm not happy that a player does not sacrifice himself. I've spoken to him all season and tried to improve him."

"Against Atletico in the away game in Madrid, Willian played on the left and Ashley Cole was protected. Against Liverpool, Andre Schurrle played there and a dangerous player like Glen Johnson was completely under control.
"But Eden is the kind of player who is not as mentally ready to look back at his left-back and live his life for him. If you see Atletico's first goal on Wednesday, you understand where the mistake was and why we conceded that goal.
"I don’t want him to change – but the perfect team at the top level cannot make this kind of mistake. If we had gone in at half time still winning 1-0 on Wednesday, that game was another game."
