true scorer" as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are.
Having been crowned Player of the Year after driving the
Blues to the Premier League title last term, the Belgian has
been talked up as having the potential to rival the Barcelona
and Real Madrid stars.
With 19 goals to his name in all competitions last season,
manager Jose Mourinho and team-mate Cesc Fabreas were
among those to hail Hazard's potential.
However, the 24-year-old says that he is not convinced of
rivalling Ronaldo or Messi – who have been crowned the
world's best player five times between them – in terms of
goals.
"I often ask myself what I can do to become like Messi and
Ronaldo and score 50 or 60 goals in a season," Hazard told
Sport/Foot Magazine .
"I try of course but I realise that I will never be a true scorer.
It's not in me. 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.
"I'm at a peak of my career but I want to become even
better every day. I'm not there yet."
