Hazard expressed his desire to compete against Ronaldo and Messi, stating, “For me, as a young player, it’s crucial to measure myself against Ronaldo or Messi. Just sharing the pitch with them would be an honor because they serve as my inspiration. I watch their matches closely and strive to reach their level.” He doesn’t shy away from his ultimate goal: “Of course, I aim to be the best in the world.”
At 23 years old, Hazard acknowledges that while he always recognized his talent, his time at Chelsea has made him realize the responsibility that comes with it: “Previously, I only focused on the game, simply aiming to enjoy myself without paying much attention to others’ opinions of me. But since joining Chelsea, I’ve become more aware of my abilities.”
Confident in his skills, the Belgian international envisions himself as a future contender for the title of the world’s best player: “I believe I can compete with Messi and Ronaldo in the near future if I continue to work hard. It’s a challenging task, and I’m uncertain if I’ll reach their level, but I’m willing to take on this challenge.”
