Eden Hazard reveals his Champions League ambitions

Chelsea might have had a few slip-ups in the title race after enjoying a 12-game unbeaten run in the Premier League but Eden Hazard has continued his merry way. Many would have believed at the start of the season that the Belgian might have a lacklustre campaign due to fatigue following a long World Cup but the 27-year-old has once again lived up to the expectations.

Hazard has already won a lot of trophies with Chelsea since making his move to the Premier League in 2012. The Belgian has won a couple of Premier League crowns, EFL Cup, FA Cup and the Europa League. However, the talisman has reiterated that he wants to get his hands on the Champions League.

“Football is my job, but I enjoyed it 20 years ago, I enjoyed it 10 years ago and I enjoy it now,” Hazard exclaimed. “In that respect, I haven’t changed a lot.

“I prepare for games exactly the same as I did when I was younger. But now the difference is that I am getting older and I need to take more care of my body.

“I work a bit in the gym with the physio. Five years ago I just enjoyed training and then I went home.

“Now I take my time. Recovery sessions are important for me now. That’s the big change, but after that, I’m the same guy, with the same happiness on the pitch.”
Talking about his comparison with Lionel Messi, Hazard said, “I have never thought about myself; I just try to play for my team-mates. I spend more time in the middle of the pitch now so I am more like a playmaker.

“Sometimes I am lucky to pass the ball and we score; sometimes not!

“I’m happy with my form and with what we have done so far this season. For four months now we have been enjoying playing football with the team and the new manager.

“Personally, I feel like I went on to another level because of the World Cup. I think before the World Cup people thought I was a good player, but after the World Cup, they were saying I was one of the best players in the world.

“That’s the level I want to reach and stay at. I think since the beginning of the season I have done pretty well.

“I know I play for one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I can improve a lot in the future I think. I need to score more goals; we need to win more trophies.

“I won already a lot with Chelsea, but when you play for Chelsea, you want big trophies like the Champions League, and to reach finals.”
