Long dates teammates. For more than a decade, Kevin de Bruyne and Eden Hazard have evolved together with the Belgian selection. The two men made the heyday of the Red Devils. If De Bruyne still evolves on the side of Manchester City, his compatriot retired in October 2023, after a very complicated passage to Real Madrid. But the Citizen does not want to stop on this bad adventure.
Indeed, on the Sky Sports set, the Mancunian player was led to classify the biggest legends of Belgian football. Without hesitation, he placed Eden Hazard at the top of the battery.
“Frankly, I think it must be Eden. He was so strong. If we talk about pure talent, he is probably one of the 5 best players in the world, behind Messi, Ronaldo, maybe Neymar “even said the Skyblues midfielder.
“A talented player”
“He was so strong (…) when he was in a good day, Eden was simply exceptional. He had this ability to dribble in one-of-one with a side 'I don't care, I just play football, having fun'. We have been playing together since the age of 16. Unfortunately, he had his injury when he arrived in Madrid and he retired, but he was such a talented player ”he added. The message has passed.
