Jamie Redknapp had said Chelsea new signing Eden Hazard could be compared to Barcelona striker Lionel Messi. Messi is to Barcelona as Hazard is to Chelsea so they said. Hazard's performances so far has made a lot of people believe that, he could be a new Messi for the Blues. The Belgian young midfielder had recently been compared to the Argentine star but he rebuts the comparison saying he is no way near Messi compared to his individual achievements which he still has a long way to go.
Jamie Redknapp has lauded Eden Hazard's performances for Chelsea over the weekend against Wigan, with the Sky Sports pundit retelling how Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole once compared him to Lionel Messi. The transfer speculation surrounding Hazard was high at the start of the summer, with the playmaker eventually choosing to join the Blues as they look to defend their Champions League trophy this time, and challenge the top four.
"I have spoken to Joe Cole [who played with Hazard at Lille last year] and he said he could be a right-footed Lionel Messi," Jamie said. "And like all good players he has got in-built wing mirrors; he knows where people are and he sees every picture, while he has a lovely weight of pass. "He is rated very highly in France, but he would have come over here and wanted all his touches to come off and that's exactly what happened. He drove at the defenders and that was a nightmare for them, even though in the second he started to over-elaborate a bit."
Eden Hazard could be compared to Lionel Messi, according to Jamie Redknapp. The £32m signing from France outfit Lille impressed the fans and play mates in his Premier league debut against Wigan at the DW stadium last Sunday. Contributing to both goals that gave Chelsea victory. Although the task of getting back into the top four for Chelsea is assumed to be a huge one, with Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal and Newcastle all pushing hard while the Manchester clubs look to maintain their dominance for another season.
Meanwhile, Redknapp believes that the season would rather be easy for Chelsea after acquiring expensive young talents with the likes of Marko Marin, Oscar and the two Hazards, there will definitely be a great improvement in the squad. "There were a lot of positives for Chelsea," he explained. "Fernando Torres looked sharp, Oscar had a nice cameo and there was a lot more short passing. They were impressive."
Chelsea will host Reading tonight at Stamford Bridge and they will be looking to maintain their winning form on a roll as they prepare for a tough fixture ahead. This weekend, they play against a tough side Newcastle. Torres is yet to come out of his bad form last season but i still believe that if he continues to play alongside these signings, he will revive his form for sure.
