2 Important Reasons Why Neymar Is Not Better Than Hazard by ade2291(m): 7:44am On Oct 04, 2018
There have been so much misconception in the comparison of Neymar and Hazard. No doubt, the duo are good skillful players and they do cause lot of problems for defenders. Here are the facts why I debunk the claims that Neymar is better than Hazard.

1. It isn't pleasing to see that people couldn't acknowledge the fact that Neymar had played in a Barca team with exceptional players like Messi, Suarez, Iniesta and many others. Hazard has never played alongside such quality players, I guess no one would ever want to demean the potentials of Leo Messi and Andres Iniesta in a team. Their presence will definitely give a boost to any good player in the world of football. Hazard in Barcelona would still be great considering the outstanding quality of players he would play with.

In Chelsea, they've just few skillful players who aren't even up to the standards of Iniesta, Messi and Suarez.

2. Now let's see their statistics with Hazard at Chelsea and Neymar at Psg. As of 2017/2018 season, Hazard was more successful in one-on-one situations when compared to Neymar. Neymar had just 62% success rate on one-on-one take ons while Hazard got about 78% success rate on one-on-one take ons. What's more, statistics has shown that Hazard had a better shot accuracy of 61%, while Neymar had just 49% accuracy.

In interception, Hazard was able to make 23 interceptions in the whole of the season while Neymar managed to get just 10. Even in the world cup competition, we saw the both stars played, and Hazard's performance throughout the competition absolutely subdued that of Neymar. In self discipline, no one would argue Hazard's humility, respect and self commitment in the world of football. With all these facts, I reject the claim that Neymar is better than Hazard.

The FIFA world eleven was recently picked and we saw the best players nominated. Hazard was able to come out as the best LW in the world.

The fact that Hazard had more rough times at Chelsea when former manager Antonio Conte was still in charged, is a big thumbs up for Hazard when compared to Neymar whose situation at PSG was better off.

Recently, a record of most take-ons completed in Europe's top 5 leagues since 2014/15 till date was released with the following result: Eden Hazard (388) Neymar (366) Lionel Messi (363) Wilfried Zaha (311)

So I put it to you that Hazard is better than Neymar. Let those with ears hear what the spirit says. grin

Neymar may be the better all round player but I'll take Eden over him, anytime any day.
