Curtis Jones makes notable Mohamed Salah comment after Eden Hazard admission



 


 



After making the claim that Eden Hazard, a former Chelsea star, was a better player than Mohamed Salah, a star attacker for Liverpool, Curtis Jones appeared to get himself into a heated argument with Mo Salah, a teammate of his. Although Curtis Jones may have had a soft spot for Eden Hazard, he has stated that he would always prefer to have Mohamed Salah on his side rather than the former Chelsea hero.



For the present era of the Premier League, Salah and Hazard are two of the most iconic players in the league’s history. Since his arrival in 2017, the former has been one of the most important players for Liverpool. Together, they have won the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup, the Carabao Cup, and the Club World Cup. He has scored 232 goals throughout his time with the club.

During his tenure at Chelsea, Hazard was a significant contributor to the club’s success, as evidenced by the fact that they won two Premier League crowns and two Europa Leagues. Prior to Salah’s departure from the Blues for Serie A in January 2015, the two players had really been teammates for a period of eighteen months.



Due to the fact that Hazard joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2019, his career took a precipitous turn for the worst, and he is now retired. Jones’s assertion that Hazard was a greater player than Salah, who is a teammate of his at Liverpool, caused eyebrows to be raised despite this remark.


After being questioned by Rio Ferdinand about the guys he has looked up to for inspiration, Jones first mentioned Zinedine Zidane as the player he has looked up to. In the following sentence, he praised Steven Gerrard, but he also emphasised his appreciation for Hazard.

A statement that he made to TNT Sports was as follows: “My one, and I know that this might go a little bit left with our fans because of the comparisons, but Hazard for me.” I am aware that we are comparable to Mo, and I say this coming from the perspective of a player and someone who is passionate about the game. When I wanted to be like a player, I felt that Hazard was the one.

I couldn’t help but think, ‘Wow, that was football’ each and every time I watched him. To answer your question, yes, I believe that he is a better football player than Mo. But if you were to ask me who you would want to have on your squad, you would choose Mo because he is the one that helps you score goals and assists.

Jones has now stated once more that despite the fact that Hazard was his primary role model when he was younger, he would much prefer have Salah as a teammate over Hazard. Immediately following the widespread dissemination of his remarks to Ferdinand, he rushed to Twitter on Monday afternoon to voice his response.

There was a photo of the Egyptian and the midfielder smiling together that was shared on the internet by the midfielder. “The one I’d rather have in my team,” could be seen written in the caption.

During the course of Liverpool’s championship-winning season in 2019/2020, the Englishman made his debut with the first-team squad. Since then, he has been a consistent member of the senior team, and he has participated in a total of 26 matches across all competitions during this season.

Although he considers Hazard to be the superior footballer, the Belgian player has never been able to achieve the same type of numbers that Salah produces. Twenty-one goals were scored by him during his greatest season in front of the net, which was 23 fewer than the Egyptian’s best total.

The year that Salah is having at Anfield might very well be his last, and he is having another historic year there. Over the course of his career, he has scored 21 goals, propelling Liverpool to the top of the Premier League and Champions League respective standings.
