James Rodriguez and Eden Hazard, both are talented footballers without a doubt but who is better?
Both of them are attacking midfielder, Hazard usually plays on the left side while Rodriguez plays as a center attacking midfielder.
Rodriguez who has impressed at the club level is also doing great for Colombia in the World Cup. So far he is the top scorer with five goals. He has scored in every game and has taken Colombia to the quarter final where they will play Brazil.
While Hazard has proved his worth in the past seasons at Chelsea but failed to fulfill the expectations of the fans in the group stages of the World Cup.
QUALITIES:
Rodriguez: Strong in key passes, through balls, finishing, and a good ball control but lacks in air.
Hazard: Strong in dribbling, passing, long shots but weak defensively and lacks quality crossing.
