Chelsea forward Eden Hazard is making a name for himself in Russia, as the World Cup wears on, with Squawka publishing numbers to back the claim that the Belgium international is currently the best in the world.
The most effective dribblers are those with nothing but success stamps on their attempted dribbles and Hazard delivers more than anyone on that front.
The winger enjoyed a 100% dribbling rate against Brazil in the quarter final of the World Cup, the most by any player in a single World Cup game since 1966. Several decades have passed and with the number of dribbling legends that have come and passed in the game, makes Hazard a player to admire in his peak.
This article is based on Squawka’s revelations and the statistical website concludes that the Blues’ forward has the ‘fifth-most take-ons in the tournament with 30’ only behind Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi but has enjoyed a better success rate, 73.33%, than his rivals.
His club form on that front also makes him a force to reckon with and Hazard is just peaking at the right age at 27 years. Should he remain at Chelsea, the Blues would have to sign players capable of matching his talent and ambition and hopefully many more laurels will arrive at the club’s trophy cabinet for years to come.
