Zinedine
Zidane has sparked a potential transfer battle with Chelsea after
claiming that Eden Hazard excites him more than Cristiano Ronaldo and
Lionel Messi.
The Real Madrid reserve boss was unashamed in his praise for Hazard, who could be named PFA Player of the Year this weekend.
Zidane’s
comments are sure to agitate those at Stamford Bridge, who only tied
the Belgian down to a new five-year deal in February.
‘Obviously, there is Lionel Messi and Ronaldo, both of whom are spectacular, but I like Eden Hazard more,’ Zidane said to Maxifoot.
‘I like everything he does on the field. I like his behaviour, his decisiveness and love to see his progress every year.’
