Chelsea Can’t Afford To Sell Eden Hazard- Ray Wilkins
Eden Hazard – amid speculation of a
move to Real Madrid – and has
compared the Belgian to Lionel Messi
and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Eden Hazard is reportedly a long-term
target for Zinedine Zidane at Madrid,
Hazard hinted last week that he would be
open to joining Los Blancos in the future,
but Wilkins claims that life without the
Belgian at Stamford Bridge is unthinkable
because of his importance.
“I couldn’t even think of it to be perfectly
honest. We’ve got to keep Hazard at
Stamford Bridge,” he told Sky Sports
News. “There’s lots of people who pay
lots of money to go and watch Chelsea
play. You’ve got to keep the best players
there and Hazard is one of the best. He’s
one of the best in the world.
“Special players who can just change
games in a flash – you’ve got [Cristiano]
Ronaldo, you’ve got [Lionel] Messi and
you’ve got Hazard. He’s a joy to watch.
He is sensational. You get special players
and I think Hazard is just one of those
that has cropped up.
“I’m a season ticket holder at Chelsea,
I’m a Blue, and to watch him play is
something exceptional over the last
couple of years. [Antonio] Conte has
allowed him to do his thing. He’s one of
those guys, when you watch him play, he
looks like he’s really enjoying himself.
“When he gets on the ball, you think
‘wow, something’s going to happen now’.
He’ll eliminate people in the middle of the
pitch, he’ll create chances. He’s just a
fantastic footballer.”
