Back in Lille tonight for Rio Mavuba's charity event "Une nuit à Makala". Here he is with Adil Rami and Rio Mavuba (the only true one, the one who didn't leave us ... until this summer)
He was the third best player yesterday after Ba and Cech. His runs open up a lot of space. Anytime hazard is on the ball, I wish the other players will take note that he plays far better wen his teamates are making runs ahead of him. That's why he enjoys ba and mata. Its the same with messi in barca and messi in argentina. In barca, every player is running when messi is moving with the ball so he easily gets a return pass or an assist or gets more space to dribble since the defender is distracted by the teamates runs. But in argentina, they don't make half the runs pple do in barca, meaning messi ends up crowded out by 5 players that are not distracted and this is the case most times for hazard. He is the most mobile in our team, and thrives in more mobility from the players.
