During the early moments of the video, a clip of Hazard and Willian shows that they now call the Brazilian ‘Willian Beckham’ because of his ability from free-kicks this season.
Willian has been among the goals this season and has scored a host of free-kicks already during this campaign.
The nickname obviously originates from the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan, PSG and LA Galaxy midfielder, David Beckham, who was known around the world for his free-kick ability.
This season Willian has scored free-kicks against the likes of Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Southampton, Porto and Dynamo Kyiv.
As well as this, he was tipped by record holder, Juninho, to break the record for most free-kicks scored in one Champions League campaign. He has levelled the record on four.
