EDEN HAZARD dismissed criticism from the manager, Maurizio Sarri, claiming that he did not have the skills to lead a team.
The boss of Chelsea had fired his star player for not having the character to be the figurehead of his team.
But after making a brilliant display to help the Blues eliminate Tottenham from the Carabao Cup final, the Belgian captain made it clear that he was not worried about what his coach thought.
Speaking on Sky Sports after the match, Hazard was asked if comments before the match had angered or inspired him.
Laughing, Hazard replied, "I'm just plugging in. I'm just playing football.
"No matter what the manager said, I'm focused on my football and I want to do my best for this team."

But according to Goal, the 28-year-old then challenged his manager's claims.
He was quoted as saying, "I always say that in the field, I'm a leader, I think I'm a leader."
Sarri's decision to choose Hazard when preparing for the return match against the Spurs has surprised more than one, given the importance of Hazard for the club – and the precarious nature of his future at Stamford Bridge .
The playmaker still does not manage to sign a £ 350,000 contract a week and commit his long-term future to Chelsea.
Real Madrid has been chasing Belgium for three years and is ready to step up its attempts to sign it this summer.
At just 18 months of his current contract, Chelsea moved into territory where he totally lost control of the situation, knowing that he was likely to leave for nothing next year.
That's why the club has done everything possible to convince the brilliant man wide to break the interest of Real and stay in London until the end of his career.
