Eden Hazard Includes Drogba, Lampard in Chelsea Best Five a Side Ahead of Soccer Aid Match

• Eden Hazard's Chelsea's best five-a-side team has some interesting picks
• Hazard omitted players like John Terry and N'Golo Kante from his squad
• He is set to return to Stamford Bridge later this year for the Soccer Aid match

Eden Hazard is set to ruffle feathers after he selected his best Chelsea five-a-side team. The mercurial Belgian played with a lot of talented players during his spell in England.

It was in West London where he became a fully-fledged star, leading Chelsea to two Premier League titles before moving to Real Madrid after seven years.

Ahead of his expected return to Stamford Bridge in the summer to feature in a charity match, Hazard was put to task of naming his five-a-side of Chelsea legends, and he had some interesting picks.

Hazard picked himself first, backing himself to score goals.

"I will start with myself. Can I start with myself? You know I have the quality to score goals and entertain the fans."

Why Hazard's team doesn't have a goalkeeper

The winger's side doesn't have a goalkeeper or a defender. He hilariously explains that his squad doesn't need to defend but rather focus on getting the ball to him.

"I am sorry, but my squad doesn't have a defender. I know in Chelsea's history there are a lot of top defenders, but I am only going to play with strikers or midfielders because I want the ball."

He settles on Gianfranco Zola and Didier Drogba upfront. Zola is a two-time Chelsea Player of the Year, while Drogba is famously remembered as the man who delivered the first Champions League title for the club, among many other achievements.

The 33-year-old then surprisingly included the man whom he took over the number 10 jersey at Stamford Bridge.

"I will also go with Juan Mata. he is a person who has good control. Never misses a pass I enjoyed playing with him.."

Lastly, the former Lille player went with Frank Lampard to play defensive and midfield duties, saying he 'would do the bad work for us.'
