Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard has praised the relationship that he has with manager Jose Mourinho, having signed a new long-term deal with the club.

The 24-year-old committed his future to the West London outfit earlier today, prompting Mourinho to claim that the Belgian could become the best player in the world during his time at Stamford Bridge.

Hazard was thankful for the 'honest' relationship that he shares with the Portuguese boss and insisted that he works well under such guidance.

"Even in the bad moments he has been with me, we can speak honestly with each other," Hazard told Chelsea's official website.

"If I have played well he tells me, but if I haven't played so well he also lets me know. I like the kind of relationship we have. He gives me the freedom to play and I just try to do my best."

Hazard, who has found the back of the net 13 times already this season, also set himself a target of reaching 20-25 goals in the 2014-15 campaign.
