In an official interview with Manchester United, Herrera talked about his dedication.
Herrera said: “at that time, Azar was the best player in the Premier League and his numbers were the best.” Chelsea had a lot of momentum at the time and Mourinho thought I was the one who stopped Azar.
“two days before the game, I said,’I will do my best, even if Azar goes to the bathroom, I will follow him.’
“it was interesting. I played a defensive role at the time, but I gave an assist and scored a goal. By contrast, Azar didn’t perform much, so it was interesting.
“I am a very team player and I am always ready to help the team. Mourinho asked me to do it and I did it. If I have to do the same for Bilbao tomorrow, I will do it again.
“I want to retire with the feeling that everything I do is to help my team, coach and teammates.”
