"Hazard reminds me of Messi"

"What Eden Hazard makes is unique. His way of playing... he reminds me a lot of Messi," the former Everton coach confirmed in an interview with Sky Sports.

"Not a lot of players have the capability to control the moment and make the defenders go wherever he wants. The way he uses his feet is impressive and his maturity surprised me as well," he said.

"The best about Eden is that he loves football. His father was a footballer and his brothers play too. Thorgan, one of his brothers, is playing for the Belgium national team. The whole family loves football and they play it in their free time in the parks."
