London's "Chelsea" defender Eden Hazard was upset with his teammates' performance in the lost FA Cup semi-final match against "Manchester City."

According to the Belgian, the "Blues" respected their opponents too much.

"In the first half of the game, 'Chelsea' simply feared the Manchester club. We showed too much respect and had to pay for it.

We started to show our game in the last 40 minutes, but it wasn't enough to beat 'Man City.' We had opportunities, but their goalkeeper played confidently," Hazard said.
