Chelsea star Eden Hazard has said that he doesn’t care about the comparisons being made between him and Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo
The Chelsea star has been in sublime form scoring and assisting with alarming regularity in the Premier League and Cups with his manager, Maurizio Sarri stating that he could even score as many as 40 goals this season.
Seeing as Sarri was able to turn Dries Mertens into a 30 goal striker, it is quite possible that the Italian could do something similar with Hazard.
England international Ross Barkley went as far as saying that the Belgian was better than Messi and Ronaldo on current form.
“I don’t have (goal) targets to be fair – my only target is to win something every year. I want to win trophies,” Hazard said.
“It is not important how many goals I score. You know me, I don’t care about that. I just want to enjoy my football and win games.

“At the moment I am scoring goals, that is why everyone is talking for me to be in the top three (players). It is a pleasure to be there. I just want to keep going. I am the same player as two years ago, three years ago. I’m now in a period that I score a lot of goals, and hopefully I keep on scoring.
“It won’t be simple. Definitely not in the Premier League. I’m feeling good since the FA Cup final. Something you see. I play in strong teams, here with Chelsea and with Belgium who were very good at the World Cup, and that helps me to perform better too.”
Hazard is yet to sign a new deal with the Blues, but is in no hurry as he is enjoying his football
“Even when the things are not going well, I try to be happy when I am on the pitch,” he said. “That is why I like football. At the moment, we are winning games so it is more easy to smile but when I am on the pitch I just try to be happy. At the moment it is good. I am scoring goals, we are playing good, so I am enjoying it but we will see in the future.
“We won the last FA Cup last year. We know the Premier League is going to be hard. City and Liverpool, they have a lot of good players.”
