Eden Hazard names Chelsea teammate superior to Rodri that gave Blues 95% chance to win every game

Former Chelsea star Eden Hazard has praised his ex-teammate N'Golo Kante, describing him as the "best in the world" in his midfield role.

Hazard and the French midfielder spent seven years at Chelsea, winning several titles, including the Premier League.

In a 2018 interview, Hazard said, "I play all year with Kante. He is the best in the world in his position. When he is at his best, you have a 95 per cent chance to win the game."

Kante's legacy continues to inspire younger players, including Chelsea's Moises Caicedo, who recently cited him as an inspiration.

However, as Hazard noted, Kante's unique blend of industry and brilliance is impossible to replicate.

Kante currently plays for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, but his time at Chelsea remains iconic. Hazard and Kante were both included in the 2018 FIFA FIFPRO World XI, a testament to their outstanding contributions to the sport.
