“I’m not watching football for Haaland.”-“Haaland can score 2 or 3 goals in games, but I don’t like to watch the football he plays he is a big Flop and Manchester City should sell him”-Real Madrid Flop player Eden Hard Criticises Erling Haaland for playing poor football.

Eden Hazard’s obsession with the concept of ‘pure football’ remains a heated topic, with fresh statements revealing light on the players he admires.

Just a few weeks ago, the retired Belgian footballer brazenly said that only Lionel Messi exceeded him in terms of ‘pure football.’

Hazard’s passion for ‘pure football’
By making this claim, he put himself ahead of Messi’s long-time adversary, Cristiano Ronaldo, despite acknowledging Ronaldo’s unrivalled goal-scoring prowess by calling him the greatest goal-scorer of all time.

While opinions on the 33-year-old’s statement differ, Hazard, noted for his technical approach to the game and dazzling dribbling abilities on the ball, has now identified some of the contemporary players he admires.

Hazard ignores Haaland and names stars he enjoys watching.
The Belgian appears to prefer players with great technical abilities, as well as those who have creativity and flair in addition to goal scoring.

It’s no surprise that he left out Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker recognised for his exceptional goal-scoring ability but sometimes chastised for a lack of elegance in his play.

Instead, Hazard praised three of Haaland’s teammates at the Etihad, as well as one young player expected to make a huge effect in the future: Jude Bellingham, who has been making headlines in La Liga since moving from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid.

“I don’t watch football for Erling Haaland, but for players like Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Jude Bellingham, and Jack Grealish,” he said on Mikel Obi’s podcast, as reported by Football Tweet.
Although Haaland is not well-known for his elegance, the Norwegian striker is highly regarded for his exceptional goal-scoring abilities.

According to Transfermarkt, his incredible 52 goals in 53 appearances for the Citizens last season were instrumental in driving them to a historic triple, which included earning the elusive Champions League championship.

Hazard identifies’most gifted’ footballer who played with
In a Hazard-related story, Sports Brief stated that the former Chelsea player has named the most talented teammate he has played with during his senior career, and it is not one of the well-known names such as Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Luka Modric, or Kevin De Bruyne.

Despite playing with multiple excellent footballers during his time at Lille, Chelsea, and Real Madrid, Hazard has made a surprising decision for his most gifted teammate.

He named Gael Kakuta as the best young talent he has ever worked with, despite the former France youth international’s poor time with the Blues.
