Eden Hazard

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Hazard is the King of Rabonas. Hope he keeps doing them, they look badass when he does them.

Actually only kids enjoy these type of things, because 90% of the time they are ineffective.

From what I've seen he always pulls off his Rabonas.

Im not a kid, and I enjoy them.

A lot of crosses, through balls and shots are ineffective so I suppose they should be stopped too. Since only kids enjoy 'these type of things' I suppose players should stop using elasticos, step overs, rainbow heel flicks etc.

Free kicks should also be stopped. They don't always go in. Players should also stop shooting for goal as not every shot comes off.

Hey! Don't steal my thunder Dr. Thunder, I already mentioned not all shots are on target!

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Let's take Rami's logic further. Keepers should also stop trying to make saves, as they can't always prevent them from going in. Players should also stop running, as there's no guarantee it'll lead to anything. Players should also stop making passes, as of course, its not a guarantee they'll come off. Players should just stand there on the pitch and do nothing. In fact even that may be too much, as there is no guarantee that a lightning strike won't hit one of the players. So in that case, the whole sport should be scrapped.

You see how illogical and farcical your comment was Rami?

Disagree, depending on the circumstance I guess. With Hazard you have a player who tries them when it's a better option. Sometimes when you play football and you're turning the rabona gives the player who will be fed the ball an extra second advantage over a defender. Ok in this case it was impotent but Hazard deploys the skill really well unlike the Nani's of this world.

Check this assist out, I remember it was in the dying seconds of the game (around 25 seconds).

Against Arsenal it wasn't the best option thats for sure.

Dude Vermaelen would have won the tackle but when he stopped Vermaelen could not stop sliding and then he made a chance for himself thanks to the Rabona.

He stopped and Verm was already like 5 meters sliding away and he had to choose what to do and did the least EFFECTIVE.

Read my other posts on the matter...

I'm done with this. I feel that there's way too much discussion on this situation. He tried a trick it didn't come off. Move on...

I like them as well but theyre not as much fun as Gronk's crosses were

Since all penalties don't go in, players should start doing rabona's when taking them.

Just because all crosses aren't successful doesn't mean don't try your best to make it successful.

[manpe 10,861]

Wow, so much over analyzing over one situation. Yes, maybe a low cross was the better option in hope for a lucky ricochet, but I for one am glad we finally have a player who is able to do something else than make hopeful low/high crosses with their eyes closed.

Zidane Praises Hazard:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xu33qy_eden-hazard-vu-par-zidane-canal_sport

He tells he has been a long time admirer of Eden.

"The first thing that came to my mind when I saw him play the 1st time was: he is different than all other players!

I decided to follow him from close range because he brings something special to the game... even at this very young age"

"He's a player with a enormous personality on the pitch and always gives the fans something worth their ticket. He shows a lot of joy when playing and is the type of guy that brings people to the stadium. When I saw this already at a very young age... I was really really impressed!"

"The thing that maybe strikes me the most... is that he has the intelligence to let the other players around him play better. He is so talented that he can change the game with one of his actions/goals or assists BUT more importantly... when he feels he's not in the right position, when he cannot shoot well ... In that split second, his mind will tell him to play with the others and involve them in the action. And not only does he think about it... he also excecutes the great pass or link up play. This is pure football intelligence."

If I watch football these days... I a lot of great players who's strength is to play on their own and to force something individually. What I really miss are these intelligent players, who are not only great themselves, but also make the other players around them play better. And it's not only me that says that, it's in general. Eden really stands out in this matter and that is the thing i like most about him! For me this is the most important force/power of Eden".

"He made his choice to join Chelsea. And let's be honest... in his game, you cannot really tell he only arrived there a month ago. For me that all has to do with his personality. Eden is a guy that doesn't ask himself too many questions, you can link him in this matter with another great player Frank Ribery."

Zidane ends the interview by telling that there are really very few players these days that are as good as Hazard AND that Eden can still go really far because of his young age. "I see him as a future Ballon d'or winner. And a lot has to do with his intelligence on the pitch".

Eden must be all over the moon, given the fact he is a massive admirer of Zidane.
