Chelsea, Hazard: "If they paid 222 million for Neymar then I am worth a billion"

They paid 222 million for Neymar? Then I am worth 1 billion." Those were the words of Eden Hazard, attacker for Chelsea and the Belgium national squad, spoken at a Nike event and reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport. Hazard then adds, I said that as a joke, I don't know how much I am worth. I have to concentrate on my work, on my training and my matches for Chelsea. Every year there are rumors about me changing shirts, but then the facts are what count. And I am always here to give my best. Conte? I have a great rapport with him, he transfers his energy to us and he is one of the best managers in the world. We laugh and joke together, even though I cannot call him a friend as that would be unprofessional. Our rivals for this year's title? There are 7-8 teams that are prepared to climb to the top, but from what Leicester did in 2016 we learned that everyone can beat everyone. That's why the Premier League is the most interesting competition in the world."
