When Ander Herrera spoke about the conversation he had with Jose Mourinho about marking Eden Hazard
During Jose Mourinho's Manchester United stint, Ander Herrera was a key player for the Red Devils. The midfielder was known for his tenacious defensive work and security in possession.
In April 2017, Manchester United faced Mourinho's previous club, Chelsea, and Herrera was assigned the task to man-mark Eden Hazard, one of the best players in the world at the time. Herrera did his job remarkably well and the Red Devils sealed a 2-0 win. Interestingly, although he was deployed in a defensive position, Herrera scored one goal and assisted the other.
Speaking about the conversation he had with Mourinho prior to the game, Herrera said (via the Red Devils' official website):
“At that time, Hazard was the best player in the league, with the best stats and everything, Chelsea were on fire, and Mourinho decided that I was the man to stop him. Two days before [the match], I said: ‘I’m going to try my best. Even if he goes to the toilet, I will follow him.’”
The Spaniard further added:
"It was funny because I had a defensive role at that time, and I gave an assist, and I scored a goal. And Hazard didn’t do too much at that time, so it was funny."
Mourinho is known for his defensive approach to the game, which has earned him incredible success over the years. Apart from his tactical genius, Mourinho also has the ability to get the best out of his players in a unique manner.
