# Giroud reveals hilarious two word reaction after first playing with Hazard

Olivier Giroud has revealed just how good Eden Hazard is.

Not that the fact Hazard is a special player will have escaped most fans, Giroud is just the latest in a long line of team mates to sing the Belgian’s praises.

Giroud was picked up by Chelsea midway through the 2017-18 season, and was instantly struck by the winger’s ability.

Le Figaro ([translated by Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/fing-hell-hard-get-ball-off-chelsea-teammate-lauds-magician-hazard/)) quote Giroud as saying:

> When I discover Eden Hazard in training for my first session at Chelsea. I told myself: “F\*\*\*ing hell, it’s hard to get the ball off him”. Sometimes, there’s two or three players around him and he still manages to get out in tight spaces.

> He’s a magician, he’s impressive. Now, I’ve started to know him and I don’t find myself near him. It’s better for him and for me,

Giroud has struggled for game time in recent weeks, losing out to Alvaro Morata (never a good place to be) in Maurizio Sarri’s depth chart.

By contrast, Hazard is enjoying one of the best starts to a season he’s ever had, scoring seven goals and providing four assists through eleven Premier League appearances.
