The disrespect Eden Hazard is getting is too much now . There’s a reason why Stamford Bridge was called the Garden of Eden ! That man had the whole league on lock . Hazard was HIM . De bruyne is him right now but for me , after what my eyes saw what Hazard did in the league. He’s the one . No doubt . Im a man United fan btw but even I have to acknowledge greatness when I see it

to be fair, he's retired at 32. While KDB is still playing top level on the back of a treble winning season. What Hazard achieved at Chelsea, KDB already eclipsed at City (Spine of the Centurion and European Treble team). KDB is now in the conversation of one of Top Midfielder ever, not just the PL. Longetivity-wise, Hazard was Chelsea best player for 7 years while KDB is best player for 8 season now, currently playing his 9th. KDB is now the third highest assist in PL history with the best assist per game ratio. The only category that Hazard eclipse KDB is aesthetics, Hazard is a masterful dribbler while KDB not so much. But KDB also have amazing catalogue of long range shots and crazy assists. Who's to say a beautiful dribble is better than a well crafted long range shot and a well crafted assist

the disrespect is unreal and a massive amount of it comes down to his lack of “longevity” when his career started at 18 and he was elite up until 2019, people really believe you have to play until your mid 30s for longevity to apply to players, if zlatan retired at 33 everyone would disrespect his career but instead everyone talks about his longevity as his biggest attribute as a player since he retired at 40 instead of his elite level ability as a striker from the late 00s-mid 10s

You're absolutely right about Chelsea failing Hazard. We had good team and we won titles, but nothing like City and Liverpool of the last 5 years. I wanted to tear my hair out watching Azpi at LB, Matic at LCM and Costa up front and that was all Hazard had to work with on the left. Obviously all good players in their own right, but not on Hazard's level. Azpi at LB no overlaps or any attacking output. But Hazard was still dominating games. Nowadays wingers need service, if they get isolated they just don't contribute. Hazard was the service and the end-product, he was the metronome. He was everything. That's why even though he's my favorite player of all time I wasn't even that sad to see him leave because I thought at Madrid he'd get everything he didn't get at Chelsea and it still bothers me how it went...

Hazard was a great player, but i think he gets overhyped due to people valueing the eye-test too much. Is Hazard a legend yes undoubtedly, was he one of the best players in the world yes, do i think people celebrate Hazard in the modern day mainly due to his achievements no, i think most people love him due to his aesthetic, and that people loved the way he played the game. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle saying someone is simply better due to scoring more goals, that alone is flawed, but if you score more, while playing less games etc, then that becomes a more fair argument. but their are players who are good at putting up good numbers, therefore people view that as a star, someone like Rashford, he consistently scores or gets assists, therefore people overrate him due to his good stats, but players like Hazard, Mane and Salah would all be vastly better players then Rashford, even if they didn`t put up great numbers, because they are intelligent football players with the ball and without the ball. Meanwhile Rashford for instance does nothing without the ball, and many times with the ball he is predictable.

And using the “city win games without Kdb” argument is completely invalid.

"it was Hazard league, before KDB and until Hazard left the PL, fact" lol let me debunk this mr Know it all. Firstly, i think Hazard is 7th greatest PL player ever. When we say it was someone's league, it means they were in the top 2 attacking players in the league that season. At least. It WAS Hazards league but ONLY for 2 seasons. He was nowhere near Yaya and Suarez in 2014, he was maybe 5th, behind Aguero and Sturridge It was Hazards league in 2015 It was Mahrez and Sanchez league in 2016 (Hazard chilled that year) Hazards league in 2017, fair enough. 2018 it was KDB, Aguero and Salah were all ahead. 2019 it was VVD, Aguero, Mane, Sterling who were all better. Man City and Liverpool got 98 and 97 points fam and won everything before them. KDB has been top 2 attacker in the league for 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023. Only Henry has a better record in PL history. KDB is definitely "greater" than Hazard. It's not even a debate tbh. Talent wise, it is closer than you think even though i think Eden is more talented. KDB is a much better passer and shooter. Hazard is a much better dribbler and close control. I think KDB will retire as the PL 3rd greatest player behind Henry and CR7. Hazard has a better international career, but KDB has a better PL record and 10x the CL career.

But anyone with a pair of eyeballs know that he was MILES better in 21/22 despite him having similar stats. Salah has benefited from the inside foward era as well. Wingers in the prem are now positioned more to get better stats. For instance Saka had the same Stats last year as prime Bale. Does anyone think saka is the 3rd best player itw? Hazard experienced 1 year of this new winger era of football I in 18/19 and ended up with the most g/a in the league.

As for the champions league i agree that real madrid champions league shouldnt count, but you're lying if you think he should have won it with the chelsea squad he had back then. He was the only world class consistent attacker at chelsea the whole time he was there. Hazard himself did absoluty hit very high heights. Im not saying here that he miles clear of dinho or vice versa, i think that comes down to preference.
