“Unbelievable! i can’t believe this, there are so many more out there,” said Chelsea legend Eden Hazard, expressing his surprise at Tottenham’s Son Heung-min’s comments he never expected about him.
Eden Hazard had some unforgettable moments in a Chelsea jersey, particularly in matches against Tottenham. Although the now-retired forward won several major trophies during his time at Chelsea, he is perhaps best remembered for his pivotal role in ‘The Battle at the Bridge.’
At that time, Tottenham, managed by Mauricio Pochettino, was competing for the Premier League title. Their failure to secure points against Chelsea ultimately allowed Leicester City to clinch an unexpected championship. Hazard came off the bench to ignite the comeback and scored the equalizing goal, with Son Heung-min playing for Tottenham.
While Hazard faced struggles with injuries and fitness at Real Madrid before retiring, his iconic performances in the Premier League significantly enhanced his reputation. With two Premier League titles, two Europa League titles, a League Cup, and an FA Cup to his name, it’s clear why he is considered a Chelsea legend.
Surprisingly, Spurs captain Son Heung-min holds Hazard in particularly high regard, calling him “the best footballer” during a discussion ahead of a legends match. This remark took Hazard aback, who responded with delight, saying, “That’s really good to hear.”
When informed of Son’s comment, Hazard exclaimed, “Nah, really?!” and expressed surprise that Son thought so highly of him, stating, “There are so many better players than me. That’s really good. Nice to hear about it. Wow.”
The rivalry between Chelsea and Tottenham is often viewed as one of the fiercest in London, perhaps even more so than the north London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham, due to the intense animosity between the two clubs. Dele Alli previously commented on this competitive spirit as well.
Chelsea has started the new Premier League season on a strong note and will likely compete with teams like Spurs for a top-four finish, with Enzo Maresca’s side currently in that position.
