Chelsea’s Eden Hazard believes he has a long way to go before he can compete with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo. Marc Wilmots, the Belgium manager, recently stated that he thought that the 23-year old has all the right attributes to become one of the top five players in the world.
But the winger, who is currently at the World Cup with Belgium, believes he needs to score more consistently before he can be compared to the likes of Messi and Ronaldo.
Speaking about the praise, Hazard said: “Seriously? He said that? Well, I never like to talk about myself in that way because, to be honest, I don’t think I deserve it at the moment. To be thought of as one of the best five in the world, I would need to score more goals for a start.
“I would really need to score almost every game because that is what the best players in the world – like Messi or Ronaldo – do every season. These are the guys everyone else has to aim for. It’s nice of the coach to say such things, but I wouldn’t say the same”
