Hazard Still Behind Ronaldo And Messi

Arsene Wenger has refused to compare Alexis Sanchez with Eden Hazard but believes the Chelsea man is behind Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.Jose Mourinho claimed earlier this week that Hazard had a better season than Ronaldo in 2014-15, but Wenger was reluctant to make any similarly big claims when asked about Sanchez.


“I don’t like all these comparisons,” the Arsenal boss said. “Everybody always thinks their player is the best, which I can understand, but what Sanchez did for the first year in the Premier League is absolutely exceptional and hopefully he will not only repeat it but grow again.”

On Hazard, Wenger added: “He can decide the games and you put the top players in this kind of calibre when they can decide the games with something special.

“Hazard is in this category, now to reach the other two or three that are dominating world football at the moment I think it demands consistency which he is still to do.”
