"Manchester United" legend Rio Ferdinand expressed admiration for London's "Chelsea" winger Eden Hazard and compared him to Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Belgian had a great season in the English "Premier League" and is one of the best footballers. R. Ferdinand highlighted one quality of E. Hazard - his ball movement. According to the former defender, "Man Utd" club had the same quality years ago with C. Ronaldo, who now plays in a more forward position for Madrid's "Real" team.
"Hazard has greatly improved his ball movement and, of course, he is a key player in the team, just like Cristiano Ronaldo was in the "Man Utd" club before," - said R. Ferdinand.
I remember playing against him. His body build and low center of gravity contribute to his current style of play - he can "drown" the entire opposing team.
An excellent example of this is Patrice Evra. He was also a small player, but as a winger he had perfect physical conditioning - strong, enduring, fast, and with a low center of gravity.
When it came to defending against Hazard, you would start thinking, "Wow, this is the guy you don't want to get too close to," - added R. Ferdinand.
