Eden Michael Hazard.27 years old & playing for one of Europe’s biggest clubs.Chelsea FC.
He spent the past 6 seasons at Chelsea FC after joining form Lille in France & it looked likely that he was gonna move to Spain & play for the Champions League holders Real Madrid.Real had just sold Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus in Italy & were looking to replace him.Eden Hazard was their no.1 choice,but their bid to land him failed and he stayed put.
He was always regarded as one of the best players in the Premier League but now he’s into his prime,so the question is.Does he have what it takes to be the best player in the world???Certainly.He’s one of the best dribblers in the world & when he gets tackled he doesn’t roll around on the ground as if he’s been shot but he gets back up & goes again.
What he does lack though is consistency.Not consistent performances but consistent goals.He’s never hit 20+ goals in a season & that’s what rival fans keep saying “he’s sh*t in the final third”.He doesn’t have the stats to prove that he’s one of the best in the world.However that could all change this season.Thanks to this man.
Maurizio Sarri replace Antonio Conte at Chelsea in July & in a short space of time he has changed the way Chelsea play & has given Eden Hazard an instinct to start scoring goals.Sarri likes to play fast,attacking football that is really attractive & because of this it gives Hazard a bit more freedom to attack.It certainly has had it’s effects.Hazard already has 6 goals & 2 assists in just 7 appearances (4 starts 3 sub appearances).And if you include his goals with Belgium he has 12 goals & 4 assists in 19 appearances.Hazard is finally showing that killer instinct in front of goal & let’s hope for Chelsea’s fans’ sake that he continues this rich vein of form.
