The release of the PFA team of the year of the season 2018/2019 only brought bitterness to the football fraternity.
The team include six Manchester City players including Ederson, Aymeric Laporte, Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling.
It also include four Liverpool players including Andrew Robertson, Trent-Alexander Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and forward Sadio Mane.
Lastly, Manchester United are represented by Paul Pogba.
Many
Fans and pundits have pointed out Pogba’s inconsistency and concluded that he doesn’t deserve to be in the team.
That reasons seems to have also sparked Chelsea to question the exclusion of their attacking midfielder Eden Hazard.
The Belgian winger has been on fire for the Blues and holds a number of records for the current campaign.
He has the most goal involvements in the league with 29 (16 goals and 13 assists), while he’s also won the most Man of the Match awards, 13.
Hazard has also created 89 chances and 15 ‘big chances’ – the second most of any player in both categories.
Along with his personal stats, the forward has also been his team’s star man and Maurizio Sarri’s side wouldn’t be anywhere near the top four without him.
So Chelsea find it quite strange that Hazard isn’t in the Team of the Year and it’s fair to say that they aren’t happy with his omission.
Shortly after the team was announced, the club released a statement on their official website questioning why their star isn’t involved.
“Eden Hazard did make the six-man shortlist for the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award, yet he has not been named in the PFA Premier League Team of Year for 2018/19 which was unveiled this morning,” their article began.
“Our no.10 is enjoying an outstanding season full of eye-catching moments and his non-selection is being widely described as a surprise omission.
“Hazard is enjoying his best Premier League campaign to date when it comes to goals and assists combined, and indeed he tops the table for that total across the all the players at all 20 clubs.”
