Chelsea legends John Terry and Didier Drogba believe Eden Hazard is the best player in world football right now after his wonder strike against Liverpool. Hazard scored one of the great solo goals in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup tie to stun Anfield and send Chelsea into the next round.
Former Blues skipper Terry posted a video of the Belgian’s sensational goal on Instagram with the caption: ‘BEST player in the Premier League and in the WORLD.’
Hazard has been in unstoppable form since guiding Belgium to third place at the World Cup and already has six goals this season.
The post was liked by Sergio Ramos, whose Real Madrid side are known-admirers of the Belgian, while fellow Chelsea legend Didier Drogba replied with a series of flame emojis.
Hazard responded, writing: “Thanks @johnterry26 #legend.”
Chelsea assistant coach Gianfranco Zola, who took the post-match press conference, said: “He [Hazard] is not only one of the best in the Premier League, if not the best, but he’s one of the best in Europe and the world.
“Eden’s growing fast, he’s growing fast in maturity, in choices he’s making on the pitch and I think, in my opinion, we haven’t seen the best yet.
“I believe [there is more to come] because he has an unbelievable potential inside him and he’s getting to the point when he’s using it at the right moment and that’s something remarkable.
“I think it was a fantastic goal, especially not only for the beauty of it but for the moment he scored and he was all on his own, I guess – four defenders – and it was an unbelievable goal.”
Chelsea plays Liverpool again in the English Premier League on Saturday, with both teams putting their unbeaten league records on the line at Stamford Bridge.
That debate will continue, and Eden Hazard has another chance to show his class to the world as Chelsea host Liverpool at the Stamford Bridge on Saturday with the chance to end the Reds’ 100% start and replace them at the top of the Premier League table.
