Ballon d’Or shortlist: France Football explains Eden Hazard's omission

 
Chelsea star, Eden Hazard’s exclusion from the just released 2015/2016 Ballon d’Or shortlist raised a lot of eyebrows. Apparently, the Belgian’s strings of underwhelming performances last season was the chief reason his name was shockingly omitted from the list.
The 25 year-old has improved greatly under the new manager, Antonio Conte and has already matched his Premier League goal tally from last season.

“If there was only one put forward, it would probably be him. Seeing Eden Hazard away from this list can be an anomaly. There is nothing in view of the insipid performances of the Belgian during most of 2016. After 22nd place in 2013, 21st in 2014 and a very nice eighth position last year, Hazard restarts from zero.” France Football explained.

Chelsea are forcing my son to play through pain – Hazard's father

Eden Hazard’s father, Thierry Hazard has accused Chelsea of forcing him to play through the pain  as he struggles with an on-going hip injury.

On his son’s form, Hazard Snr in an interview with Belgian newspaper Le Soir, pointed that his son’s injury woes which started when he was kicked by Jamie Vardy at Leicester City last year has been responsible for his slump. 
“Eden’s lack of form is due to an injury, an inflammation in the hip, that he’s been carrying now for three or four months. It’s not a bad injury, but when the pain appears, it feels like a stabbing. It’s feels like a knife is stabbed in it.
“He was feeling the pain early in the game [against Leicester] and that’s why he has asked for a substitution. Instead of giving Eden a time to overcome the injury and have a proper rest, they push him to play because they have some important games… So he has no choice… Which player hasn’t had highs of lows in his career? It’s the first time in his professional career that he’s confronted with a difficult period. He’s not machine, as we know.” Thierry defended. 
He also refuted rumours that his son wants a move to PSG. 
“Eden has never said he wanted to play for PSG. He’s just confirmed that PSG have become a big club and that every player would like to play for clubs of that level. Eden has a contract until 2020. It’s out of question that he’ll leave the club at the moment.”

Eden Hazard admits dip in form

Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard says Jose Mourinho is right to suggest that he needs to up his game.
Hazard, 24, was the star player for the Premier League champions last season, picking up both the PFA and Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year awards.
Chelsea have had a stuttering start to their title defence, however, claiming just four points from their opening four matches. Defeat against Crystal Palace last weekend prompted Chelsea boss Mourinho to single out Hazard for criticism, saying that it should be “a good responsibility” for the Belgian to try to match his form from last season.

Currently on international duty, Hazard has readily accepted Mourinho’s assessment.
“It’s obvious,” he told French sports daily L’Equipe. “You don’t need to know too much about football to compare what I did last season and what I did this season. I’m not as good. “It’s more of a collective problem than an individual one. We’re professionals. We knew this season was going to be more difficult… but within the squad we have the quality to bounce back.”

Now in his fourth season in London, Hazard said he hoped Belgium’s upcoming games against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Cyprus would have a knock-on effect for his club. “Individually and collectively, we’re not up to scratch,” the former Lille player said of Chelsea’s start to the season.
“Starting with me. “We had a difficult month in August. I hope that the international break will allow me to rediscover my form.”

Hazard better than Ronaldo – Mourinho

Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho claimed that Belgian, Eden Hazard was a better player than Cristiano Ronaldo last season. ‎Mourinho hinged his claim on the premise that Ronaldo, despite scoring 61 goals in all competitions last season, failed to win any major title with his club.

“I think so,” Mourinho told The Guardian. “I don’t like players or managers to win individual trophies without the team.”

“Last season, yes. In spite of the fact that Ronaldo was fantastic. He was fantastic,” Mourinho said.

“He scored an incredible number of goals. I am not saying he is not fantastic. I am just saying that, in my personal view, every football player in the world should understand that a team has to be in front and no titles [are important].”‎

‎
Hazard or Ronaldo may be debatable, but to Mourinho there’s no doubt that Messi remains No. 1.
He added: “Football without titles is nothing. Messi won the treble. He won three competitions last year, he reached the Copa America final. He had a fantastic season for him and for his team.”‎
