    No player in the history of the PL carried their team like Hazard did. He would win cups with average team and win the league whenever he had some ballers around him. The most entertaining PL player I’ve had the pleasure of watching, he was artistic with the ball.

    A player with the most MOTM's after Messi and Ronaldo is no easy feat. Enjoy retirement, it was an absolute pleasure seeing you on the pitch.
    Will never forget world cup 2018 where you danced around Brazil, France and England.
    One of a kind

    His goal vs Arsenal w Coqulin spinning like a sock in the dryer, the double nutmeg arrow vs Liverpool, his combination assist for Willian with Batshuayi, his goal in the Battle of the Bridge to win Leicester the PL, oh, his dissection of West Ham down the middle run to score point blank (only matched by Giroud vs Southampton FA Cup) Hazard was magical, crazy good, and a footballing genius. Bridge = Garden of Eden!

    I’m half Brazilian and saw my team win the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Despite all the players we have produced, Eden Hazard is easily my favourite ever despite not being Brazilian. I am a Chelsea fan so that is where I got a strong connection with Eden. The comment you made about him being a bit Brazilian is very true. He loved to play football with joy like us Brazilians, in this regard, he reminds me of Ronaldinho. Playing for fun and for joy.

    As a fan of as a certain premiere league club, facing Hazard was terrifying!
    He had a way of dribbling on his knees turning defenders inside out. As you rightly mention, quite impossible to stop. I would argue he was in the same league as Messi & Ronaldo considering the opposition / hackings he faced in the premiership. A true great!
    Have a great wedding dude! Take your time to return, we’ll be alright.

    Eden Hazard was of the huge reasons Chelsea was competitive after Diego Costa left, I sincerely thought he was gonna light La Liga alight for at least a couple of seasons before winding down. It's a shame how RAPIDLY he fell off and wasn't his game-changing self. Seeing all the photos of him in a Chelsea shirt again after all the struggling to score the club has gone through only cements just how elite he was for us. His solo goal where he dribbled through Arsenals entire team during our title winning Conte season exists rent-free in my mind.

    He reminds me a bit of larry bird, had a great carrer for a decade, one ot the best in the world, but retired in his ealry 30's, due to injuries.
    In Bird's case was because of his back, which started when he hurt himself while building his mom a driveway, dude was so fucked he couldnt sit on the bench due to the pain, he'd instead lay on his stomach on the sidelines

    Absolute legend. Pure magic.
    Fell in love with him when I heard him saying in an interview that he is never going to sacrifice everything else in life for football. Football is an important part of life but it is not his entire life. There are other important things in life as well. Life must be lived as a whole not lived with a myopic goal of being the best player in the world.
    Pure enjoyment. Pure fun.
    Thank you legend.

    I never really watched Hazard at Chelsea so I never really understood why Chelsea fans would say he was on the same level as Neymar, or even better. As a Madrid fan, I never liked his signing, and I didn't really give him a chance at Madrid, but I really wanted to see what everyone seemed to know that I wasn't aware of.
    It's sad he got injured so much at Madrid, but I liked him a lot more when I realized he was really trying, but was just unfortunate.
    Don't really have many words of praise since I didn't watch him that much. But I feel for him, and i'll watch some highlights to get glimpse...
    And congratulations on the wedding!!

Players like hazard just become players that you had to see to understand his impact, and that unfortunately doesn't stand the test of time as well as those cold hard stats

    Hazard was the real deal. Been following Chelsea since I was 15. I remember growing in awe of Hazard when growing up. But I guess I was too spoilt by having him around to bail us in a game and presumed -'yeah we will get someone else to do that'- how wrong was I. To date we have struggled to replace his goal contribution and match performances. Truly a generational player. I was truly lucky to have seen him play football for my club. He made football look so easy!

    The issue with football today is that it has become so heavily statistics based. It's basically Opta football. Take the Premier League for example, the league is bereft of any true flare players, most PL players today are incredibly boring to watch as individuals because they don't do much else besides run, pass, cross and shoot. Just the basics. Gone are the days when we saw the likes of Henry glide past 3-4 players or a young CR7 play with tricks and flicks. Players today are coached to play like machines in the name of efficiency and that comes at the expense of them being fun to watch. It's sad that we might never again see players like R9, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Neymar,, Hazard, players who played with a swagger and kept fans at the edge of their seat whenever they touched the ball. Most of these players with the exception of Neymar and R9 did not score a lot of goals, Ronaldinho had less than 20 league goals in the season when he won the Ballon D'or but that was an era where players were rewarded for impact plus something special. Everybody these days wants to hit Messi-Ronaldo numbers forgetting that those two are rare cases that will NEVER be emulated.
