"Manchester City" defender Vincent Kompany, ahead of the upcoming "Premier League" match against London's "Chelsea", singled out his teammate in the Belgian national team Eden Hazard and joked that he would be happy if the midfielder released his bowels before the game.
Since moving to England from "Lille" club in 2012, the 24-year-old footballer has become one of the brightest stars and, according to Kompany, can reach the same level as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
"One can only hope that Eden Hazard doesn't poop himself," - "Man City" captain joked in an interview with "Het Nieuwsblad."
"But now let's talk seriously. His influence on Chelsea's game cannot be underestimated. We can only hope that he will have a slightly worse performance. Last week against Swansea he may not have played his best first half, but when the team was down to ten men, he was the only one left dangerous. He can outrun three or four defenders on his own."
"You can create as many different tactics as you want, but when Eden starts running, chaos ensues. He is of such a level that the team's performance depends on him."
"Messi and Ronaldo's statistics are beastly. Looking at their talent, Eden can be compared to them, but they score a lot of goals. It's incredible, but over the past few years Eden has improved so much that reaching their level is possible for him. Being right behind Messi and Ronaldo wouldn't be bad either."
Last season, Hazard played 38 matches in the "Premier League", scoring 14 goals and providing 9 assists.
