Real Madrid reserve team coach Zinedine Zidane recently admitted that he likes Belgian international Eden Hazard, as a player more than Cristiano Ronaldo. The former French international works currently with the reserves at the Bernabeu and added to speculations that the European champions might be interested in Hazard, by revealing that he is keeping tabs on his progress. The Belgian is expected named PFA Player of the Year soon and recently signed a five-and-a-half year deal with the Blues in February.
Hazard is at present Chelsea’s top earner at £200,000 a week and in an interview with French publication Maxifoot, Zidane claimed,
“Obviously, there is Lionel Messi and Ronaldo, both of whom are spectacular, but I like Eden Hazard a lot too. I like everything he does on the field. I like his behaviour, his decisiveness and love to see his progress every year.
“There is still scope for further progress and if Chelsea are to win the Premier League this season, Eden will have had a lot to do with it.”
