The head coach of London's "Chelsea" team, Antonio Conte, has no doubt that Eden Hazard can reach the level of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, but he needs to be pushed harder.
Not long ago, C. Ronaldo claimed his fifth "Golden Ball" - the same number of times as L. Messi had won. A. Conte insists that E. Hazard still has a chance to compete for this prize, but he needs to squeeze the maximum out of himself.
"You look at Ronaldo or Messi and see how hungry they are in matches. The same situation goes for Neymar," - said A. Conte.
"Ronaldo won important titles last season, but that's no longer important to him. If you asked him and Messi, they would say they go to the World Cup with the same desire to win and become the best.
Eden is an important player who makes our team unique. He is the main face of this team, but at the same time, I urge him not to stop and try to push forward.
He has the right character to reach the level of those mentioned players. He has great qualities to become an even better player and fight for the "Golden Ball" in the coming years. He definitely has the potential, but achieving it is certainly not easy," - added A. Conte.
E. Hazard scored eight goals and made seven assists in over 20 matches this season.
