“I hope that we will win it this time” – Chelsea star confident Blues can lift FA Cup to save season

Chelsea star Eden Hazard is eager for a win in the FA Cup final and is fully confident his side can appear victorious against Manchester United following recent fine displays by the Blues.

Last season’s finalists defeated Southampton 2-0 last Sunday, which secured them a spot in the final where they will clash with Jose Mourinho’s Man United in May.

Hazard and Olivier Giroud combined really well in the second half to secure the Blues the first goal of the game at Wembley. The Belgium international received a long ball well before setting up Giroud to dance between the Saints defenders for the opening goal.

Chelsea were defeated by Arsenal last year at Wembley in the final but 27-year-old Hazard is ready to take the win for his team over compatriots Romelu Lukaku and Marouane Fellaini and believes Giroud could be the team’s savior as he has proved himself in recent years.

“It’s always nice to play against friends, but we will have to win that game otherwise I’ll have to hear [about it] during the World Cup. It’s up to us now to prepare that game well. After the Premier League we’ll have time to focus on the final, we are playing for the trophies.

I hope that we will win it this time – last year we sadly lost the final. But we have Olivier Giroud now. He often wins finals. Certainly the FA Cup.”
