Nairalanders...plzz who do u tink is a beta player between Hazard Nd Di Maria....

Dem dey bargain d price of bread? Hazardous na

Hazard is overrated. Towards the end of last season, hazard was kept quiet in the champions league while Di Maria dazzled as Madrid won le decima . Both were at the world cup and while hazard froze, Di Maria's injury cost his team the world cup. Plus hazard is predictable with limited skill set i.e run at the defender, cut in and shoot basically. But Di Maria has more variety.

Neymar is better than Hazard and Di Maria put together.

Most of d commenters 4 dis thread dy comment lyk children. Just dy comment lyk wia smal children dy argue, dy gv statistics wey dm c 4 dream. Wat does di maria hv more than hazard. If you kip hazard nd di maria 4 van gaal 2 choose, d decision wl b easy.

As a Chelsea fan, I will pick di-maria cos he's a team player,while Hazard most time playing to the gallery.

You've gotta be kidding me, Not a single expert football analyst, coach, captain, would choose Hazard over Di Maria unless he's a member of the Chelsea staff, It's stupid to even try to compare them, Di Maria played for the best team in the world Hazard?

Segadem: As a Chelsea fan, I will pick di-maria cos he's a team player,while Hazard most time playing to the gallery.

As a Chelsea fan I totally agree with you. Hazard is highly overated and inconsistent. Always showing off. Just like Okocha at PSG

Dont make me laugh Jare, Di Maria like Hazard overrated.
Di Maria scored just 7 goals in 76 games for Benfica, mere 22 goals in 124 goals for Real Madrid and just 11 goals in 53 games for Argentina.
Brown Ideye and Yakubu got far better record than Di Maria, considering the fact that Di Maria played in a more complete and star studed teams.
NEYMAR scored 54 goals in 103 games for Santos, 36 goals in 56 games for Brazil and already hit 20 goals in 33 games for Barca and thats 2 goals short of what Di Maria managed in 124 games for Madrid.
At the age of 18 in 2010 Neymar was third best in South American player of the year award, he won the South American player of the year award in 2011 and 2012.
Neymar got 181 total career goals and 94 assists, that is something Di Maria can only dream of.

so u are comparing them based on goals per game? Wtf man....and how can u say di maria is overrated? If anything he's underrated......and u are comparing neymars brazilian league game where he scored against bunch of nobodies 2 d assist and influence in di maria's madrid games...haba!!!......di maria is one of the major reason madrid won the trophy last season...have u ever thought of why he was giving the man of the match despite not scoring any goal in d champions league finals? His influence on d field is glaring even if he dsnt score goals........so going by ur stats raul gonzalez is better than zidane because he scored more goals....how do u expect di maria 2 score more goal when a ronald,bale and benzema are right in front of him? Plz dnt b biased when comparing players.

Neymar and Di Maria plays the same role, and yes goals are strikers main responsibilities and should be judged by that.
Di Maria's only top performance in the CL was the final against Atlectico Madrid, it may also interest you to know that CR7 plays on the right wing with Di Maria on the left in a 3- man-attack yet CR7 banged in goals for fun while Di Maria managed just 22 goals in 4yrs at Madrid.
Ozil was also Madrid's top assister not Di Maria.
Brazilian league is as strong as any other league in Europe, Corithians signed Tevez from Argentina for $18m and Neymar while playing for Santos was nominated for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or award where he placed 10th in world football just 19yrs of age. He won the FIFA Puskas award for goal of the year, players signed from Brazilian league walks into the first teams of any club in Europe and that is more than enough evidence that the Brazilian league is as strong and competetive as any league in Europe. Brazilian clubs have had victories over the best European clubs to win the world club cup, even defeating team coached by MOU.

brazilian league is as competitive as any league in d world? Dude what in God's name are u saying?......why do they always call the likes of la liga and english league the bigger stage if they were just as superior....the brazilain league parade lots of amateur players which cannot b compared to the top class players across europe.....neymar was like a god of soccer in the brazilian league, but when he came to barca, what extra ordinary play hav u seen 4rm him thus far? He looks as ordinary as any other player.. only in his case, he has potential to bcome great..even bale who wasnt as hyped as neymar still managed to outperform neymar last season.... not even bale is better than di maria....even now in barca there's nothing spectacular about neymar...but there's room 4 improvement.......di maria, robben, ibrahimnovic, suarez etc are better players than he is 4 now.....until he improves.

Before the emergence of EPL, La Liga and co football was in South America not Europe, River Plate vs Borca Juniors and Flamingo vs Corinthians were the most popular derby not Barca vs Madrid or Man U vs Chelsea.
Brazil won 4 world cup tournaments with 85% based players, Ronaldo, Romario, Ronaldinho, Oscar, Robihno, Cafu, Carlos, Rivaldo, Emerson, Willian, Paulino walked into the first teams of various European clubs and hit the ground running because the Brazilian league is a tougher league than many European leagues.
Mentioning Di Maria with Surez and Ibra is an insult to football, Suarez scored 111 goals in 126 games for Ajax while Di Maria could only managed 22 goals in 124 games for Madrid. Ibra is unbelievably talented and way way better than five of Di Maria, thats if you were old enough to watch him at Ajax, Juve, Inter, Barca, Milan and now PSG.
Neymar already got 20 goals in 33 games for Barca and that is no way ordinary, this is his second season in Europe.

neymar does not have half the influence di maria has in madrid or at man untd now......and even at the world cup he was probably the best argentinian until he was injured....he was the backbone that messi rode on.....now i tell u this....if we are judging based on goal alone, then yes, neymar is better, and not just neymar but alot of players including yakubu......now if we were judging based on influence on the field, or allround play, i tell u, there are only few players that can b compared with him......neymar might b better than him someday , but nothing av seen 4rm him thus far suggests dat........barca didnt win any trophy last season despite buying the next best thing according 2 hype in neymar......and if u watch most of barca games......he just scores goals but adds nothing exceptional 2 the team........

incredibleone:
he knows nothing......hazard played with oscar,torres,ba and eto....maria played in madrid....nd despite that hazard had almost d same goals and assist as him last season,if nt more,so what ar u saying? Hazard completed the most dribbles in europe last season,and he created more chances than di maria,so pls what again......if hazard plays with ron,bale,modric nd benz,OMG!!! U know what that means

Is this still valid?
