Chelsea’s Star Eden Hazard Admits He Wishes to be as Good as Cesc Fabregas

Chelsea star Eden Hazard admits he is an awe of the passing and vision of his team-mate Cesc Fabregas, during an interview in which he discussed how he’d build his perfect footballer. The Belgium international is regarded as one of the top attacking players in the world on his day, but conceded he’d be on a much higher level if he could pass a ball like Fabregas. 

The Blues midfielder has long been one of the best creative players in the game and continues to pull the strings for Antonio Conte’s side in a manner that few others can. Hazard told France Football he’d also like to have the free-kicks of Christian Eriksen, the heading ability of Christian Benteke and the leadership of former Chelsea captain John Terry. 

But it was arguably Fabregas about whom he spoke in the most glowing terms. ‘

I have had the chance to play with Fabregas and I can say that he has the best game vision in the world,’ Hazard said. ‘He does not run fast, technically he does not make gestures… But he has that thing, and he has it since he was born. ‘If I have his vision of the game, I’d be there… (he places his hand over his head) I’d be on a much higher level. 

‘The guy takes the ball, does not even look and puts it right where he wants to just behind the defender. And behind, the guy will score. 

‘I say to myself: “But how did he see that?” Sometimes, in the team, between us, we say to ourselves: “But why is he doing that?” And, in the end, the pass is magnificent.’
