Whats special about Italian league or English league defence? Why is this strong defence not making them win the CL or Europa League

Is it not Italian league that Ciro Immobile was Highest goal scorer yet flopped at DOrtmund, Or Lamela, Or Cavani or Pastore, or Cerci or Iturbe?

How many goals was Morata scoring in Spain before going to Italy? Or Higuain or how did players who left Italy for La Ligas "soft" defence fare like Kaka or Zlatan or Sanchez

Players Like[b] AGuero Michu, Silva, Toure Sanchez Fabregas were just average in La Liga[/b] until they got to the weak EPL

How many times did AGuero score 20+ goals in La Liga yet he topped EPL chart even with injuries

aguero,silva,yaya,fab, averageguy y now...

dubylhover:


aguero,silva,yaya,fab, averageguy y now...

Yaya was sold off for a rookie calld Busquets

Fabregas was very disappointing in Barca

Aguero only scored 20 goals in 1 season while in Spain

Silva was just above average

The real excellent players in La Liga wont be allowed to leave Like Casilass, Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, Messi, Iniesta Xavi Busquets

If you are offloaded for a rookie then that means you dont fit into the teams plans and average. It wasnt like Yaya was offloaded for an established star. Offloaded for a rookie. That is why Yaya only shines in the overrated EPL, do you see how every midfielder disgraces Yaya in the CL?

Busquets is the best defensive midfielder in the world

Fab might not be average when carrying Arsenal but he was average at Barca his dream club, that was why he was sold Same with Sanchez. Harry Kane is a star in Tottenham he might be a flop in another club.

busquets is d best defensive midfielder in d world...i laugh in cantonesse and chinesse ,hw was fab average in barca?una wey carry stats for head,his stats was better than iniesta nd xavi combined

Now neymar is with the physical copa america players he couldn't withstand pressure, this is what hazard faces in every match in epl. ...talk about small boy been fed by suarez and messi and his fan think he is better than hazard.

Seriously?? Thats a weak point because Neymar led Santos to a copa libertadores win(A south american competition) and was the best player there.

dubylhover:


so luis adriano of shaktar donesk that scored 9 goals is better than lewandowski,aguero,hazard,bale,madzukic,muller,

abeg dnt argue lik A toddler...raise intelligent and valid points

Every player has his season...Mister!

Iyinemzo:
Every player has his season...Mister!

go nd read d comment that prompted me to give him dx example.hv said d reason y neymar is beta dan hazard is becos neymar scored more in d champions league

peterd53:


d fact is DAT wen u ave d support of or teammate u can du an undo
costa net 20 goals in 26 matches (injury hit campaign).
do u tink if he was fit he won't net up 2 35 goals?
suarez net 31 in his last season @EPL (missed 8 matches due to suspension).

on ronaldo scoring 225 in 200, DAT a result of hard work and he improve. i can bet u if Ronaldo return 2 EPL 2 a team like chelsea he will scape all d award in a single season ( excluding d young player award)

point of correction. Suarez missed 5 matches thro suspension nt 8

To me hazard is an average winger just like januzaj,young,walcott,townsend,ribery e.t.c

Look at these statistics I just secured from the bbc website based on the just concluded 2014/15 season

EDEN HAZARD:
In 2014/15(played 47 games)
Goals:14
Assists:18

GARETH BALE:
In 2014/15(played 40 games)
Goals:13
Assists:18

ANTOINE GRIEZMANN
In 2014/15(played 41 games)
Goals:22
Assists:12

My point is hazard is simply overhyped and just given too much attention just like sterling was given.bale had scored only one goal less and played 9 games less than hazard but was branded as having an awful season by the english media and the same english media claims hazard is the best.its so shameful.even antione griezmann of atl madrid did way better than hazard

Neymar’s strengths are quite similar to that of Eden Hazard. Dribbling is certainly on top of that list. His passing too is something that not many forwards can boast. At the end of the day though, the writer feels that Eden Hazard, at least as of now, is a better player than Neymar and the very fact that we can’t compare them through a statistical point of view as they’re part of two different leagues makes it harder for us to compare. So let’s have a look without statistics.. 1. Eden Hazard is miles ahead of Neymar when
it comes to defensive capabilities. Jose Mourinho stresses that each and every player played his part in defence as well. Mourinho actually sold Juan Mata, a two time Chelsea Player of the Year as he didn’t do his job defensively and Eden Hazard has learnt from that. 2. On his day, Neymar’s dribbling skills are as
good as anyone but on others, he looks as though he is holidaying and is pedestrian on the field. These are the times that you wonder whether you need to play him. Eden Hazard though, even if he has a bad day, (which is rare) ensures that he has a say on the match. And this is one reason why he is lethal day in and day out. 3. Neymar’s antics on and off the field like diving, his nose tape and what not have made him many critics. His diving especially has damaged his image and has made referees cautious while making decisions involving him. These traits of Neymar certainly put Hazard ahead. 4. Last but not the least, Hazard’s work rate is much more than Hazard’s. This is a follow up to point one actually as Mourinho’s tactics have made hazard work much more than his colleagues in the same position. After having a look at the above mentioned points, it is clearly Hazard who is the better player among the two.

so iniesta is average because his goals and assist have been average so far in his career.

Nah unlike a Certain Belgian, iniesta always turns up in big games for both club and country. Hazard on other hand is not even Belgium's best player. Heck He is not in the top 3 of their standout performers

guy inesta isn't a winger, he is midfielder. he sumtym play on d left wing 4 tactical reasons. and I don't tink he even play on d wing last season Cuz we av a lot of option. he is more of modric type

he is an attacking midfielder(AMF) like ozil, james, lampard if he don't have much goals he suppose to have lot of assist as AMF. hazard is LMF/winger while neymar is a striker/winger.

Bro I like u....even in one of bale's worst seasons he still matched up to hazard in stats....and the grize played madly good last season also...in ma own opinion....neymar is a better player dan hazard.....its jst too obvious to see....bt most chelsea fan boys won't admit it....if nt for change of league and some oda factors sanchez and di maria...I believe both of em too are better dan hazard......

players are of different type, his all round contribution makes him unique. he attract defenders and split up d chemistry BTW defenders with his skill and techniques just like zidane(zizu).

at least zidane wasn't an assist king.

I totally dnt agree wit u points.......well every1 has der own opinion....bt let dem carryout ballor d'or votes right now....trust me. Hazard will nt pop up in d 1st 5-8 players.....bt neymar will definitely be der....based on goals....assists.....perfomance 4 club and country.....the champions league is also der.....

Bt I serzly to me I can't believe pple are comparing hazard and neymar.....ryt nw hazard has a lot of catching up to do..... N he has admitted it....u can't score 18goals.....and assist maybe 18-20....and expect to be d best....ryt nw....neymar is d only guy d@ has d pontential to break d CR7-messi jinx.....bt hazard is a terrific player bt simply nt in d level of neymar in my own opinion...

Sanchez,robben,james,greizmann,charlie austin of QPR...

All scored more goals,had more assists and completed more dribbles and passes than hazard this season so hazard is just normal

^^ You dey mind all of them giving silly excuses if this was EPL if this was Serie A

What were they looking that La Liga is winning all the trophies in Europe beating everyone

CL and Europa for the past 2 seasons have been won by La Liga. In all those EPL teams none made it to quarters and only Juve made it past group stage from Italy. Yet they are telling us their league is strong or their defence is weak

Lets look at last season Champions league group stage

Liverpool from the strong defence EPL conceded 9 goals in the group stage,
Arsenal from the strong defence EPL conceded 8 goals on the group stage .
Man City EPL defending champions from this strong defence league conceded 8 goals in CL group stages
Roma from the strong defence Serie A conceded 14 goals in 6 group stage games and 7 in one game at home

Lets look at teams from the weak defence La Liga and their performance in the CL group stages

The weakest La Liga team in last yr CL Bilbao conceded 6 goals in the group stage
Barcelona from the weak defence La Liga conceded 5 goals in the group stage
Atletico Madrid from the weak defence La liga conceded 3 goals in the group stage
Real Madrid from the weak defence La Liga conceded 2 goals in the group stage

Thats why I always say most EPL fans know next to nothing about football

That isn't a point an EPL team won the UCL and Europa in 2012 and 2013 it varies, the tide is in Spain and very soon it might change to somewhere else. There was a time we almost have all premier league final back to back. No big deal

Don't mind them, they are twisting everything to favour there argument. Ronaldo is in his peak from 25 to 29 that's y he scores many goals but Aguero isn't in his peak from 25 EPL is been overrated that's y he scores many goals.......Double standard.....

Can't just stop laughing....
Yet Januzaj and Young couldn't step up when Manchester united needed them the most this season, Towsend and Walcot were not even getting regular shirt in there team inspite of their team been full of average players. Why can't your Januzaj win PFA young player of the year ? in fact, Non of the players u mentioned above made the EPL XI.
We are talking about great players like HAZARD, NEYMAR, BALE, SUAREZ, RODRIGUEZ an Co, you are talking about players who can't even command first Shirt in there team................... your Hatred for Hazard no b for here bros.

epl is the best league because its competitive... La liga has the strongest team.... la liga is nearly like bundesliga.... No competition... Aguero is the best striker in the world

Feemmy:

And who told you Hazard doesn't turn up in big matches? ask Man u, City, and Arsenal fans.

u mean hazard turn up locally?
but on a international scene(champions league) he is no where 2 b found. players like Marcos reus,James, bale,neymar,gotze outshine him. Epl is so over- rated.
didn't u notice DAT sterling was a flop in ucl but still flourish in EPL.

don't get it twisted hazard is not a midfielder,he is a winger so he nid 2 score. he is doesn't av a real competitor In EPL . during d season of 2011-12,Antonio valencia made 22 games(5 as a sub) he scored 5 times and assist 13 times, u tink if he played up to 35 games as a starter and was given d penalty dutie, he won't surpass hazard tally
with D's he wasn't even nominated 4 any award cus he had a lot of competitor den e.g mata,modric,bale and co

Hazard is a left midfielder in 4-2-3-1 formation, in this case, hazard is not a proper winger unlike in 4-3-3 formation were neymar is a winger/left wing forward. It depends on team tactics and set up by coach. iniesta and lampard are known as attacking midfieders while the formal has dribbling/successful take-on and skills the later has the goals and assist as a result of team set up and formation. If only hazard plays for real madrid (because real madrid n barca play same formation and set up) then we can assess both(hazard n neymar) in terms of goals. For now, it's injustice against hazard if we compare base on goals only considering they have different role for their respective team, how about other aspect of the game like creativity, dribbling and key passes, all these iniesta does for his team(barca) with little assist so far in his career(he is my favorite player though). With the role(i.e, creativity, successful take-on/dribbling and key passes) hazard played for chelsea in this concluded season his goal stat(17) and assist(15) is applaudible as a left midfielder(LMF). So, yaya toure, aguero, costa, fabregas, sanchez are no longer quality players because hazard won EPL POTY abi , sorry to say this, your comment is driven by sentiments, is mata or modric better than yaya toure? is bale better than aguero?
