Hazard names Virgil van Dijk as the toughest defender he has played against

  /  autty

It's usually Hazard's quality which strikes fear into his opponents, however the former Chelsea man admits he is fearful of one man in particular - Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk .

Hazard revealed what it's like to come up against the Dutch defender during an interview with Youtuber, Jay Shetty, and spoke about who he is scared of.

"In the Premier League, we have a lot of good defenders -- especially this season, [Virgil] van Dijk was on fire," the Real Madrid star said.

"That's why he got PFA Player of the Year, I think.

"He's really good, he's strong. I remember when we played away against Liverpool and I was striker, I tried to jump against him and I fell. No chance."
