After Eden Hazard was named PFA Player of the Year, we examine the reasons why Chelsea’s brilliant Belgian is a worthy winner...
Quality
Jose Mourinho says he’s “probably the best young player in the world” while Zinedine Zidane “enjoys everything he does on the pitch”. Eden Hazard has not been short of plaudits this season, and it’s easy to understand why.
Hazard has been the standout star of Chelsea’s title charge, with 13 goals and eight assists meaning the electric attacker has been directly involved in 32 per cent of their 65 Premier League goals this season.
But that’s only a part of the story. A deeper look at the stats shows the all-round excellence of his attacking play. Hazard has created more chances (88), completed more dribbles (155) and won more fouls (100) than anyone else. He has also completed a remarkable 958 passes in the final third, 162 more than his nearest competitor, Manchester City’s David Silva.
The likes of Diego Costa, John Terry, Cesc Fabregas and Branislav Ivanovic have all made impressive contributions for the Blues this season, but there is no doubt that Hazard deserves the limelight.
“He's the guy who, when you pass him the ball you just have to leave him alone,” Ivanovic told Chelsea’s official website recently. “He will do everything. He's something different."
The form of team-mates such as Costa and Fabregas has dipped in the second half of the season – Costa has scored six in 2015 compared with 14 in the first half of the season, while Fabregas has managed four assists this year, after registering 17 in the opening months of the campaign.
However, Hazard gets full marks for consistency. Across 40 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions this season, the Belgian has only once gone more than two games without an assist or a goal – a three-game ‘drought’ which included a 10 minute Capital One Cup appearance.
If anything, Hazard has improved as the campaign has gone on, with seven of his Premier League goals coming after Christmas to keep Chelsea on track for the title.
The Chelsea manager is delighted with how his star pupil has continued to deliver throughout the season. “One thing is the talent but another thing is to be consistent," Mourinho said in the build-up to Hazard’s match-winning performance against Manchester United, in which he scored the decisive goal.
Hazard has scored or assisted seven of Chelsea’s last 10 goals and, despite making 52 appearances for club and country this season, is showing no signs of slowing down.
“With Diego Costa out injured, Chelsea had to look to Hazard to make the difference against Stoke and QPR. They struggled to break down both of those sides and, but for a bit of magic from Hazard, could easily have dropped points,” said Jamie Redknapp, summing up the Belgian’s ability to create a moment of magic.
One such moment came in Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in October. With the game finely poised at 0-0, Hazard collected the ball 40 yards from goal and accelerated beyond Santi Cazorla and Calum Chambers before drawing a foul from Laurent Koscielny and dispatching the penalty himself.
Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry says there are fewer better in the business at making a breakthrough. “On his day, nobody can stop him,” Henry said. “He has such great quality on the ball; he can create something from nothing and that is a sign of a special player."
Mourinho – who values Hazard at £200m – agrees. “In this moment Eden is in a state of mind and a tactical approach where this season we won matches because of him and we didn’t lose matches because of him,” he said. “This is the player I like because he’s a talented player who understands what the team needs.”
