During a talk on John Obi Mikel’s podcast, Eden Hazard shared quite frankly about many aspects of current football. When asked which player will win the Golden Ball next now that the Ronaldo and Messi era has ended, Hazard said Haaland is a worthy name for the title but he admitted he doesn’t watch football for the title. Norwegian star
John Obi Mikel: Ronaldo and Messi are now considered incapable of winning the Golden Ball. Who do you think will get this title next?
Eden Hazard: I think whoever gets that title now is the one who scores a lot of goals and wins the Champions League. Like you said, it’s just my opinion.
I don’t know, if we talk about the best player right now? Haaland? Haaland is an excellent player. He scored many goals, he won the C1 championship, he deserves this title
But as a player, like me. Well, I don’t like watching football like that, with Haaland scoring a hat trick, for example, do you understand? Maybe someone will say that this guy doesn’t respect Haaland. Of course, I respect Haaland.
But I don’t watch football because of Haaland. What he is doing is perfect.
But I watch football because of Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Jude Bellingham, who else, Jack Grealish…the needle-threading moves, this and that. Do you understand what I mean?
