Eden Hazard: I Will Never Score 50 Or 60 Goals Like Messi And Ronaldo

Despite his status as one of the most celebrated young players in the world, Chelsea's Eden Hazard still fights his own mental demons.

In a recent interview with Sport / Foot Magazine, Hazard opened up about what he sees as the difference between him and modern day legends of the game like Messi and Ronaldo:

"I often ask myself what I might do to be like Messi and Ronaldo and score 50 or 60 goals in a season? I try of course, but I realize that I will never be a true scorer. It's not in me."

Hazard goes on to add that it is not a physical barrier that stands in his way. He says, "It is mainly mental. At 2-0, not thinking that is enough for example. Sometimes I still think after a goal, 'that's enough.' I'm not in search of records like some other players – if I can score between 15 and 20 goals each season, I will be very happy."

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho might not be happy to hear this from his young star, especially as the club starts its 2015-15 campaign with only 4 points in the standings in as many weeks.

As if sensing the eyes of his teammates and coaches on him, Hazard added, "I'm at a peak of my career but I want to become even better every day. I'm not there yet."
