3 strong reasons why Eden Hazard is better than Neymar

#2 Hazard is more complete

Hazard has the discipline to thrive in a number of positions, Neymar doesn't

Sometimes talent is not the most important thing in the development of a footballer. Sometimes how complete a player is also counts a lot in determining how his career turns out. Hazard does not lack any of the aforementioned. The Chelsea star has played under different managers and in different positions but has always thrived under each system.

The 27-year-old has played as a left-winger, right-winger, no.10 and sometimes as a false nine. Neymar is also versatile, but lacks Hazard’s discipline to thrive under this many positions. In the last seven days, both players have tested themselves against Jurgen Klopp’s high-pressing Liverpool side.

But whiles Neymar struggled to make an impact for 90 minutes, Hazard needed just an half an hour to make the Anfield crowd and the world in general feel his presence. One match is not enough a yardstick to judge a player, but consistency-wise Hazard simply trumps the Brazilian.

The Chelsea star has proven to be a more complete player too.
