The Belgium international manager believes that Chelsea’s Eden Hazard only has one area he must improve in.
Hazard has been one of the standout performers in the Premier League this season, winning plaudits from all corners for his creative skills.However, he still has a limited match winning impact, and the reason Chelsea sit atop the league table is largely down to the goalscoring of Diego Costa and assist-making of Cesc Fabregas. Regardless, the 23-year-old winger still has six goals and three assists to his name, and his real style of play is focused upon getting the ball into the final third of the pitch, before playing it off to his teammates to assist or score.
His rise to prominence this season has coincided with comparisons to four-time Balon d’Or winning duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and many have suggested that the Belgian international will be winning the award himself in a few years. However, he is still far off reaching the heights of the La Liga-based forwards, and his national manager Marc Wilmots has outlined the area Hazard needs to work on to reach their level.
“Eden is progressing at an excellent rate at the moment, and I hope he is ambitious to reach that level [of Ronaldo and Messi].
“He just needs to be more clinical and improve his finishing.
“He showed at Lille that he could score 20-odd goals a season, and that's where he needs to improve in order to help his team out at key moments.”
