In fact he has just one goal in his last 10 Premier League matches stretching back to the decisive 1-0 victory against March on 18 April, the winner against Crystal Palace on the day Chelsea confirmed they had won the title – and even that came when he headed in a rebound from a missed penalty.
“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.”
