“I know this might go a little bit left with our fans because the comparison is always there, but Hazard is the one.I know we compare him with Mo all the time and I’ve been into it with Mo. I play it from, who I saw as a kid when I loved the game and I wanted to be like a player. I feel like it was Hazard. Every game, I’d watch him, just like, wow, that’s football.’ Now he’s, I wouldn’t say he’s disrespected, but he wouldn’t come into certain talks that he should. It’s a talk I’ve had with Mo and all the lads. As a footballer, is he better than Mo? In my opinion, yes. But who would you rather have in your team? They’re going to say Mo because he gets you your goals and assists.”
