José Mourinho criticized the idea of individual awards such as the Ballon d'Or in a team game.
"This kind of trophy is not good for football," said Mourinho. "This is why I don't care about it. Sometimes it looks like we are looking for stars, we are looking for some people to be more important than others.
"And this is not the culture we want in this club. I don't care about it. But it's there. It's there as a consequence of the good work the team is doing. And, if they feel that, OK. It's good for them.
"But the mentality here is not to be worried about that. Even less being obsessed with that. When I see these two names, Fabregas and [Eden] Hazard, I think clearly they don't think about it. They think about the team, about playing well and trying to win matches."
