Gullit: Chelsea need Hazard stay for Champions League

Published on: 21 May 2017

Chelsea hero Ruud Gullit says they must keep hold of Eden Hazard this summer.

Gullit insists Chelsea needs to keep hold of Hazard if they're to be competitive in the Champions League.

"The difference is that England has the best coaches but the best players are in Spain," said Gullit. "The best, the Ronaldos and the Messis, play in Spain. And those players decide what will happen in a game.

"What are the rumours now about Hazard? If Chelsea could keep him, it would be massive. But if Real Madrid is calling, what would you do?

"You have to keep him. You need the world-class player. The individual players, they still make the difference.

"You see it in the Premier League with Alexis Sanchez with Arsenal, with Harry Kane and Dele Alli with Tottenham, you see it with Chelsea with Hazard.

"Individual players make the difference and that is good for sport because that is why people want to go for matches. That's what we pay for. We want to see the individual. So you make the tactics so that individual play can flourish."
