Hazard asks Chelsea boss to Provide him with a new shin pads

Belgium international and Chelsea star Eden Hazard has asked his coach Jose Mourinho to help develop special shin pads that would also protect his calves, the Chelsea boss says.
            
Espn reported that Mourinho has repeatedly spoken out about the number of fouls committed against Hazard, and at the turn of the year suggested the Belgium international could leave the Premier League if he continues to be targeted.

The Chelsea boss had more recently complained that Hazard had been fouled nine times during 1-1 Champions League draw at Paris Saint-Germain this week but said opponents were not being punished because the winger was not the type of player who "dives, stays on the floor, rolls in the grass, screams."

Speaking prior to Saturday's game against Burnley, Mourinho said Hazard had requested his assistance in developing shin pads that would offer greater protection.

The Burnly vs Chelsea match ended in 1-1 draw.
          
"Eden told me to speak with my friends who make the carbon shin pads," he told his prematch news conference. "I am not joking. He told me to speak with them because I am friends with the guy, to try to make it also for the back (of his calves). Like a horse, when the horses do the jumping in front and behind. Because now he gets (kicked) behind.
