Last season, Eden Hazard helped Chelsea win the FA Cup, and together with the Belgian national team took third place in the World Championships, for which he received the Silver Ball World Cup 2018.

However, Azar understands that he is not among the favorites for the Golden Ball.

"Despite the fact that I spent a very good year, I should not be in the clouds. I do not deserve the Golden Ball. I think there are players who have spent this year better than me, "said Azar.

"Probably the favorite is Modric, although since August-September he plays a little worse.

If we take into account the beginning of the season, then I would call Kilian Mbappa ".

The name of the owner of the Golden Ball-2018 will be known on December 3rd.

In the current season, Azar played 14 matches for Chelsea in all tournaments in which he scored eight goals and gave four assists.
