Although now in decline, no one has forgotten the years when Eden Hazard terrorized Premier League defences. During his time at Chelsea, the Brainois used to leave his opponents no chance. And it is not Declan Rice and Yaya Touré who will say the opposite…
In an interview for Goal.com, the West Ham midfielder and Manchester City legend spoke about the now former captain of the Red Devils. And they were full of praise…in their own way. “I hit him at the end of a match,” Yaya Touré recalled, referring to a scene in the hallway leading to the locker room in 2014. “It was because he was taking the ball and nobody knew stop him… He’s a tiny little dude, but when you put your feet behind him, he sticks his ass back and turns around. He really has a different posterior, he’s huge! »
An opinion fully shared by the Three Lions midfielder. “He’s one of the best I’ve faced,” continues Declan Rice. “He dribbles very well, and he knows how to use his body… and his posterior. People don’t realize, you can’t stop it…”
