Eden Hazard

[Pizy 18,858]

You're MASSIVELY underrating Modric. He was arguably Real Madrid's best and most consistent player.

No I'm not. Modric is one of my 5 favorite players in football. I rate him extremely highly.

But if you're asking me who is better and who I'd rather have in my team between he and Hazard I'm taking Hazard.

‘It is true that 10 is the best number in football – this is normal, it's for the playmaker,’ says the Belgian with a broad grin on his face. ‘But nothing has changed for me. I'll play exactly the same way and in the same roles as I did when I had 17 on my back. I'll try to give fans the same feelings as I always do.

‘The number change is not really that important, I just like it because Zinedine Zidane was my hero and I want to wear the same number he did for France. I remember watching on television when he scored twice in the 1998 World Cup final.’

Sixteen years on and Hazard himself was competing at a World Cup, helping Belgium to reach the quarter-finals in their first appearance since 2002.

The tournament was, of course, won by Germany and Hazard revealed his pride at club-mate Andre Schurrle lifting the trophy in Brazil.

‘It was a great tournament for him personally, and we’ll all be very happy if he can keep that form up while playing for Chelsea,’ added the 23-year-old. ‘He showed me his winners' medal in the dressing room last week - he’s been walking around the training ground with it on all the time… no, no, I’m joking!’

Does he have his eyes set on the senior PFA award this season?

‘I hope! If I can be the best, okay, that would be a real pleasure, but my concentration on the pitch is towards Chelsea winning trophies – that's the main thing. If I play well then I can contribute to that.’

That game was pretty much what he did vs Burnley apart from goals. Everything went through Hazard last season, including vs Sunderland, but this year he wont have main role. He will have to work with Cesc and others, thats why his performance vs Burnley was equaly good. Vs Burnley, he actualy knew what to do all the time, he didnt realy slow down and stop and wait till all defenders got on him, but he actualy did things faster, thinking how to get ball forward and did the job well.

Anyway, I have feeling you aint that happy with his show vs Burnley or what? To me he was impressive and if he can repeat that on regular basis, with goals here and there, thats best from Eden that you can get atm.

No no. I didn't say I wasn't happy with his performance against Burnley. He was good then but I just find it exaggerating with people saying that was him at his best.

When asked what's the best thing about his homeland, Hazard who was Belgium's talisman as they reached the quarter-finals, cheekily replied: 'French fries and beer, chocolate and me of course.'

Hazard on Costa:" He looks old, I think hes old. He is 25 but I dont know if it is true.''

Lmao

Did hazard really say that?

Obviously, because we don't need a CM. But all I wanted to say was that Luka Modric was integral for Real Madrid last season, more so than Ronaldo in my opinion

One moment of absolute brilliance to ensure our win

We have to wrap him and protect him. He is as important as costa to us

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Aside from Brana, the only player that at least showed up despite Azpilicueta never helping him offensively. But I guess he's too good to look utter shite when the team is playing so poorly.

[The Skipper 20,609]

He was really good today, even in the first half he wasn't as bad as the rest of the team (even though he was very isolated). Another excellent performance IMO.

Thought so too, but didn't want to say anything as a lot of people seemed to think he had a mare in the first half

Tell me about it. I must have been watching the wrong match or that's what I thought in the whole first half.
