It is about time that Eden Hazard stepped up

Well, isn’t it about time for someone to topple Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo? Apart from Neymar, the other player that is always touted to break the duopoly is the mercurial Hazard. The finesse and the technique that he possess has wowed many over the years and it is really about time for him to take his game to the next level and stand there, toe-to-toe, against the very best.

All he needs is to display a sense of insatiable hunger – and with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi reaching the final phase of their respective careers, it is about time that he does.
