Current Real Madrid Castilla manager and former Real Madrid midfield star Zinedine Zidane continues to be a well-respected voice in today's football world, especially when he talks about talented players that can do similar things to the ones he did on the pitch only a few years ago.
This time, Zidane took a few minutes to say he admires attacking winger Eden Hazard "a lot" and also said that "I enjoy everything he does on the pitch."
"There are players I keep an eye on and who I like a lot, like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, of course. They’re fantastic players, but I like Eden Hazard a lot too. I enjoy everything he does on the pitch. I like the way he carries himself, that decisive streak in him and the fact that he’s improving every year. He can still get better too, and I think he’s a big reason why Chelsea are on top of the table", Zidane said about the Belgian winger who's completing a star season for the current Premier League leaders.
The 24-year-old has been a big part of Chelsea's successful season and even though The Blues are only competing for the Premier League title; where they only need four points to be crowned - Hazard has been a pivotal performer for Mourinho thanks to his 13 goals and eight assists in 32 Premier League matches this season.
It's highly unlikely that Hazard leaves Chelsea, especially since he himself has dismissed any possible transfer rumour saying: "Chelsea's the only team that makes me dream". However, Real have kept their eye on him for a few seasons now, and the La Liga giants are notorious when it comes to their transfer business. If they pursue a player and want him desperately, they'll find a way to sign him. The sheer thought of Hazard, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema is frightening in itself.
