Opinion: 3 things Eden Hazard does better than any other player in the Premier League

2. Awareness to release the ball

Chelsea FC v Everton FC - Premier League

When you are as gifted as Hazard when it comes to dribbling you may often tend to dribble in situations when you should pass. Hazard is great at reading the game. This makes him unique as he is an unselfish dribbler.

Hazard realises when he is getting crowded out and will release the ball, even if it means going back to Marcos Alonso or N'golo Kante. He prefers to keep hold of the ball rather than try an outlandish trick to try to go past three or four defenders.

This, in my opinion, separates him from other dribblers like Raheem Sterling or Anthony Martial, who are good on their own right but may hold on to the ball for a little longer than needed.

While there is no video which primarily focuses on him releasing the ball, this video shows how good a playmaker and passer the Belgian player is.
