Hazard provided two late assists in their wins in the group stage. Should have stayed on.

Anyway Belgium did decent tbf in this World Cup, in 2016 and 2018 they will be a contender.

He must be absolutely frightening to play against in full flow. Completely bedazzled Swansea for 90 minutes today and was the one to grab the game by the scruff of the neck when we were under the cosh.

Just 1 goal and 0 assists this season but his general play has been sensational. The statistics will come eventually.

Hazard better than Ronaldo - Mou

Eden Hazard had a better season last year than Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.

Ronaldo has long cemented his place among the top two players in the world alongside Barcelona's Lionel Messi.

But despite scoring 61 goals in all competitions last season for Real Madrid, Los Blancos failed to win any major trophies, and Mourinho said that fact drops his fellow Portuguese to the world's No. 3.

"I think so," Mourinho told The Guardian. "I don't like players or managers to win individual trophies without the team."

Asked if his own player Hazard, who scored 19 times for the Premier League-winning Blues, had therefore supplanted Ronaldo behind Messi last season, Mourinho agreed.

"Last season, yes. In spite of the fact that Ronaldo was fantastic. He was fantastic," Mourinho said.

"He scored an incredible number of goals. I am not saying he is not fantastic. I am just saying that, in my personal view, every football player in the world should understand that a team has to be in front and no titles [are important]."

Hazard or Ronaldo may be debatable, but to Mourinho there's no doubt that Messi remains No. 1.

He added: "Football without titles is nothing. Messi won the treble. He won three competitions last year, he reached the Copa America final. He had a fantastic season for him and for his team."

Mourinho also sung the praises of Hazard, who he called a leader on the pitch, even at just 24 years old.

"He is not afraid to take responsibility," Mourinho said. "He is not afraid to get the team from a dark situation and bring blue sky again for the team. He is not afraid of this.

"He is a guy with great discipline. He is not the kind of guy you see setting bad examples and so on. So I think he can [lead].

"His ambition is coming, he is also the vice-captain of the Belgian national team. He has four seasons at Chelsea, so he didn't arrive yesterday.

"I think he is in this group. Eden, [Cesc] Fabregas, [Gary] Cahill are in this group behind the captains."

And Mourinho said Hazard will only get better as he gets older -- as long as Chelsea keep winning trophies.

"To repeat these trophies, I believe he has go to better, because the normal tendency is for people to find another star; to find somebody new to get these individual trophies," Mourinho said.

"But he has all the conditions to improve. With his age he can improve."

No he isn't

Not even better than Suarez or Neymar.

Another legend that speaks highly of the main man. Pele, Henry, Wenger, Cruyff, Zidane, Maradona, Ribery, Robben etc all wax lyrical about the kid but Jack from an online internet forum obviously knows better.

Mourinho also said Zlatan was the best player in the world when he was Inter lol...

Also i think very highly of Hazard i just don't belive he's better than Neymar and Suarez or a top 3 player lol.

Both of those are better than Cronaldo.

Suarez is so clearly better than Hazard and Neymar.

Hazard, 3 season at Chelsea - 49 goals
Ronaldo - 61 goals last season.

Harmonica: "Mourinho is correctamundo."

Cronaldo, the last 3 seasons dribbled 173 players.
Hazard, 182 players last season.

by Art Morte Tue Jul 28, 2015 5:31 pm

I thought Mourinho has admitted that he always praises his club's star man as the best in the world or something like that? Didn't he some time say Lampard was the best in the world?

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Jul 28, 2015 5:35 pm

This is a Hazard fan club thread, seeing you argue about your penis size debates is petty as *bleep*. Take it elsewhere lol.

Where dribbling is more important than scoring goals.

Where football is appreciated no matter which position you play, Refnaldo or Playzard.

by chad4401 Tue Jul 28, 2015 7:36 pm

smh dribbling has been getting overrated for while now, its like any player that can dribble a little, might has well be in the conversation for top 10 in the world.

by Harmonica Tue Jul 28, 2015 7:41 pm

Yes, the only statistic that doesn't depend on teammates, only skill how you can advance the game by yourself.

Who needs it when we have tap-in and refnalty parasites skilling dem goalz?

by Curtinho Tue Jul 28, 2015 7:53 pm

Dribbling is pretty much the only useful skill in soccer.

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Jul 29, 2015 1:06 am

I would take Mou's words with a huge grain of salt. He always does this. When he was at Inter, Ibra was the best in the world. When he was at Madrid, Ronaldo was. Now that he's at Chelsea, it's Hazard's turn. It's his way of instilling confidence in his players, not necessarily a cold or unbiased assessment about which player is better than which.

by futbol Wed Jul 29, 2015 1:09 am

Yeah, here is his lengthy analysis why Ronaldo is better than Messi.

Laughing

by Valkyrja Wed Jul 29, 2015 7:58 am

What a goal ffs.

by huntsman Wed Jul 29, 2015 2:22 pm

Second best player in the world after Messi.
Hazard is a level above Neymar and Ronaldo.

If only he plays more for himself rather than for the team and takes more risks, he would close the gap with Messi. Messi would still be number 1 but the gap will significantly close.
