The previous Chelsea participant was then requested if he knew, after they had been collectively at Stamford Bridge, that Salah would turn into the participant we see as we speak.
Hazard responded: “He was good already, you understand, however that good? We performed when he was enjoying in Basel. So we performed Champions League the 12 months earlier than after which we had been like, ‘Wow’.

What the stats say
Hazard determined to retire from skilled soccer at simply 32 years previous, after two years at Actual Madrid through which he struggled to make an influence.
On the similar age, Salah continues to be among the finest attackers in world soccer and already has 9 aim contributions (targets or assists) in eight video games this season.
Throughout their careers, the Liverpool man has come out higher as a goalscorer, averaging over 0.6 targets per Premier League match versus Hazard’s 0.35.
There isn’t a doubt Hazard was an exceptionally proficient footballer who had unimaginable potential and, at occasions, lived as much as his billing.
Nonetheless, his output merely comes nowhere near Salah’s, even while you take a look at Hazard’s energy, creativity.
To this point, Salah has performed 269 occasions within the Premier League and has created 112 massive possibilities, in addition to offering 73 assists.
As compared, throughout 245 appearances, Hazard managed to create 68 massive possibilities and produce 54 assists.
