#2 Hazard and super Blues can shine on big stage
If last season was Eden Hazard’s Lazarus-like return, then the forthcoming UCL campaign will be his chance to come alive like never before.
At times, Hazard was exceptional, playing some wonderful football and scoring marvelous goals like that mazy individual dribble golazo against Arsenal. In all, he netted 17 goals and picked up five assists in all domestic competitions.
Blues fans will be hoping he has saved some magic for the continental match-nights to come because they will need him at his best.
Considering players of Hazard’s ability live for occasions like UCL match-nights, he will be expected to produce some awe-inspiring performances. After all, he is more than capable of it.
He can score goals, he can create assists and he can unsettle even the most set and organised of defences – make no mistake, Hazard is a dangerous weapon that Chelsea are lucky to have at their disposal and he will be used to full effect come the Autumn.
It looks like he will stay at Stamford Bridge throughout the course of next season and as he has said himself, his sights are firmly set on ‘continu[ing] to win trophies’ – why can’t the UCL be one of them?
