Cristiano Ronaldo
believes that Eden Hazard has the potential to take over from him as one of
Europe’s best footballers. However, Ronaldo is widely
regarded as one of the finest players of his generation and scooped the best
player in Europe award after helping Real Madrid to win the Champions League
and La Liga titles last season.
At 32, Ronaldo is
gradually edging towards the end of his career after having dominated the sport
along with Lionel Messi. The Portugal captain
was asked which players he thinks are capable of following in his footsteps
in the next few years, and Ronaldo picked Chelsea star Hazard as one of the
stars.
Asked who could take
his position as one of Europe’s best in Monaco on Thursday, Ronaldo replied:
“That is a very good question. “I see some with great
potential: Asensio, Mbappe, Neymar, Dembele, Hazard, Rashford… and some others. “In the next generation
there are at least 10 players with very, very great potential.”
Hazard is currently
working his way back to full fitness after having suffered a broken ankle at
the start of the summer while on international duty with Belgium. Chelsea fans will be
hoping to see the 26-year-old back in action as soon as possible as he bids to
try and help the Blues defend their Premier League title. Hazard helped Chelsea
win the Premier League title for the second time in three years last season.
