"I like Eden Hazard more than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi" - Zidane

Zinedine Zidane has sparked a potential transfer battle with Chelsea after claiming that Eden Hazard excites him more than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

The Real Madrid reserve boss was unashamed in his praise for Hazard, who could be named PFA Player of the Year this weekend.
‘Obviously, there is Lionel Messi and Ronaldo, both of whom are spectacular, but I like Eden Hazard more,’ Zidane, who is tipped as a future manager at the Bernabeu, told fifa.com.

‘I like everything he does on the field. I like his behaviour, his decisiveness and love to see his progress every year.’
Hazard’s form for Jose Mourinho’s side has been a major factor in Chelsea’s impending Premier League title victory this season.

That and his new deal will mean the Blues are sure to firmly resist any offers if they were to materialise.
Zidane added: ‘There is still scope for further progress, and if Chelsea are to win the league this season, Eden will have had a lot to do with it.’
