Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson has hailed Chelsea winger Eden Hazard ahead of Scotland’s international fixture with Belgium this week.
As quoted by talkSPORT, the Reds left-back was full of praise for his Chelsea counterpart, who he will be looking to keep quiet in the international friendly at Hampden Park on Friday night.
He is special. The way he turns and gets at players and commits two or three defenders, there’s not many that have that. He has been unbelievable for Chelsea and Belgium and it is somebody that we need to watch.
Robertson was recently named as the new captain of the Scottish national team and highlighted Hazard as Belgium’s primary threat, admitting that he regards the player as one of the best in the world.
He is probably in the top five [players in the world] at the minute. I have come up against him many times so I know what threat he can have. Even if he is having a quiet game, he can pop up at any point and turn a game. That is what we are up against.
Hazard has enjoyed a strong start to life under Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea, featuring regularly under the Italian and flourishing in the Italian’s forward-thinking style.
Although Robertson was quick to lavish praise on the qualities of Hazard, he insisted that the focus cannot be solely placed upon the Chelsea star given Belgium’s prowess of attacking talents.
The problem with Belgium is, you can’t focus on just Hazard because somebody else pops up. We have to be aware of all of their threats.
Robertson and Hazard could face each other three times this month, with Chelsea and Liverpool meeting in both the Carabao Cup and the Premier League before the end of September.
