'We don't need you': Eden Hazard names his five dream team, Chelsea, but there are two glaring omissions
Eden Hazard named a five-man squad packed with Chelsea legends, but had no goalkeeper or defenders.
He Blues The icon is set for an emotional return to Stamford Bridge this summer when he plays for the XI World Cup in Soccer Aid.
Danger He is adored among Chelsea fans after the 110 goals he scored in 352 appearances in seven seasons at the club.
He won two Premier League titles, two Europa Leagues, the FA Cup and the League Cup, alongside some Blues legends.
And in selecting a dream team of five full of west London heroes, Hazard named a talented team, albeit with an unconventional line-up.
“I'm going to start with myself, can I start with myself? A bit of quality, I can score goals, you know, and a bit of fun for the fans,” he said when speaking to Help football.
“I have to tell you, I'm sorry defenders, I know that in the history of Chelsea there are many really good defenders, but I'm going to play only with one striker or one midfielder, because I want the ball, I'm sorry for all the defenders.
“I'm going to play with Gianfranco Zola, the number 10 like me, I'm going to play with Juan Mata, who also has a magical left foot, he's like someone who never loses control, never misses a pass, so I enjoyed playing with him” . him.
“I think we only played two years together, but wow, what timing.
“I have to put Didier Drogba, the king, because he will surely score the goal in the final.

“One is missing, there are so many good players, I'm going to go with Lamps, as a Chelsea legend I have to put Lamps.
“He'll be alone in midfield, we can let him do the bad work for us, give us the ball and then we'll make something happen, you know what I mean? That's my five-man team, Chelsea.”
When asked if he wouldn't name someone in goal, he cheekily said: “Ah no, goalkeeper, my friend, we don't need a goalkeeper in my team.
“Because we're going to have the ball all the time, so we're not going to concede, shoot and this and that, so don't worry. Goalkeeper, we don't need you.”
Hazard's selections, including himself, made a combined total of 1,828 appearances for Chelsea, with all five winning major honours.
He was the one who shared the field the most with Lampard, on 73 occasions with the blue shirt, closely followed by Mata in 69 games.
