Last week I watched the defeat of Manchester United in Stamford Bridge, despite showing a commanding display from all the players.
Eden Hazard, the blue's no.10, was the difference. He did not need to get a lot of balls. But when he did, he ran and made David de gea grabbed the ball from the net.
His pace and his attitude made me recall a Manchester United hero, Cristiano Ronaldo. They actually did not play in the same style, but they made the same difference to their teams: winning the matches.
I cannot help revisiting the debut match of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2003 at Old Trafford. The opponent was Bolton. The Red Devil scored four goals from three players, but the TV report (which I saw that time) only mentioned one name that you would remember for long time: The new no.7.
And the rest is history.
I am never the same kind of player in the pitch. He has a much better speed and dribbling skills, later on powerful and precise shooting. But I have to say, it is his attitude on the match that influenced me not just on the matches but also towards lives: How to improve yourself everyday from a street football player to THE best player in the world.
We have three different No.7 in the team after his departure. While Angel Di Maria showed some promises in the early matches, fans were overall very disappointed. It was not they were really bad, but we could hardly avoid comparing their performance with the Portuguese
It is like someone you can never forget for the rest of your life. Someone deep down inside is not going to be replaced, no matter how you try.
