Our Belgian star talks about his one-v-
one contests on the pitch and his
dribbling decisions…
The numbers were there in this website’s The
Data Day article after last weekend game, our
look at the analysis statistics from the win
at Crystal Palace. One line in it read:
‘In the attacking third, Eden Hazard
completed 24 of his 28 passes, at least 10
more than anyone else. Hazard was also
successful with all five of his attempted
take-ons.’
It certainly was not the first time figures
like that for our Belgian star were published
and it surely will not be the last. There in
those numbers is a snapshot of the strength
of Hazard's attacking game, equally
dangerous when spotting a ball to a well-
position team-mate as he is when choosing
that familiar sudden acceleration or sharp
turn past his closest marker.
Hazard’s 100 per cent success rate last
weekend when deciding to dribble past his
opponent is not hugely higher than he has
managed across the whole of this season. His
success rate in all the Premier Leagues game
is 76 per cent, the second highest figure
from players in the top 10 for attempted
take-ons, in other words, from those who
are the regular dribbles. Only
Middlesbrough’s young Spaniard Adama
Traore has a higher percentage at 78 per
cent.
Hazard is the player who has completed the
most take-ons in the Premier League in
2016/17. His 71 is one more than Palace's
Wilfried Zaha.
With the season approaching its halfway
stage and with Hazard having played his full
part in Chelsea’s climb to the top of the
table, the official Chelsea website decided to
talk to him about his decision-making. When
does he pass and when does he go at
someone, and how much thought in advance
does he give it? Is his high level of success
at beating a man because he knows the right
moment to attempt that, spotting a defender
momentarily unbalanced or turning the
wrong way. or simply because he is very
good at it?
‘It is natural, I play with instinct,’ Hazard
quickly makes clear. ‘I don’t think about I
need to do this or I need to do that. Once I
have the chance to do something, it is
instinct it depends on - sometimes I dribble,
sometimes I pass the ball. I see a guy who
is in the better place to shoot, I pass the
ball. And when I dribble I don’t look at the
balance of the opponent.
‘It is my way to play,’ he says of his high
total for take-ons. 'I like to create some
problems in the other defence. I like to
touch the ball, I like to try to do something
and sometimes I do, sometimes not but I
know I am good when I go one against one,
sometimes even one against two. I have got
this quality so it is my style of play.’
Although natural aptitude and instinct are
primary reasons why Hazard plays the way
he does, and although he moved to play in
France in his teenage years, he certainly
would not have been discouraged by
Belgium’s youth coaching system which was
overhauled at the start of the millennium,
and puts great value on developing dribbling
skills and encouraging one v ones. The
subsequent rise of that country’s football
has been clear to all.
‘In football now you can see a lot of passes,’
Hazard adds, ‘but when we were young we
watched a lot of video on YouTube and we
wanted to watch some clips of Ronaldinho,
Robinho, players like that because they liked
to dribble, and we wanted to do this.
‘Now in the young teams in Belgium, they
watch the professionals and we have players
like me, Dries Martens who plays for Napoli,
Kevin De Bruyne, a lot of small guys with
technical ability and we try to teach them
this. It is like Barcelona, the professional
team plays one way and all the youth teams
they play the same way. So in Belgium it is
the same, in the young teams in Belgium we
try to do the same as the professionals so
we like to have the ball to dribble, we teach
them that.’
Such a style of play can come at a painful
price however and yet again, Hazard is the
Premier League’s most fouled player (54
times this season, with Diego Costa next
with 46).
‘I think every year it is the same,’ he
acknowledges, without any hint of it being a
big worry to him.
‘When you’ve got the ball at your feet or
you keep the ball, you have to be ready to
get kicked so I don’t complain about this. I
just want to be protected but it is football
now and sometimes you get kicked and you
get a free-kick or a penalty and it is a
chance to score, so I am happy to do this.’

SailorXY: Yes, i stand by what i said, Conte is one of the most versatile manager in mordern football. He knows Batshuayi can't dislodge Costa at the moment and today was a tricky game to throw Batshuayi in the "fire". People forget that Bournemouth are no mugs: they scored 2-3 goals in the last 20 Minutes against Liverpool! If Chelsea failed to win today and Batshuayi missed 2-3 chances due to a lack of match sharpness, both him and Conte would have been savaged in the media. Conte may have just been trying to protect him while putting the team in the best condition to win: Hazard, Pedro and Willian are familiar with each other and also know the midfielders very well. The fluidity and creativity was a joy to watch today. It was a masterclass in counter attack! Michy will get his chances in January; just got to be patient. We have multiple league winners in the team that are currently sitting on the bench... 8 Likes |

Whether you're agnostic or an atheist, bearing such moniker on a public forum portrays you an an unreasonable fellow. Merry Xmas. 3 Likes 1 Share |
