Chelsea has found their Lionel Messi in 27 years old boy, who is it?, Tuchel explained.
Eden Hazard was used to pain during his time as Chelsea player. Within 90 minutes, usually twice a week, he will be kicked and fouled more than any teammate. But he always comes back to compete for more. In fact, he welcomes the beating.

He explained in an interview with the Independent in 2015: "I always thought that if there was a game and I fouled, then I played well for the team, so that means we played well."
I'm used to knocking at the door. The more I walk, the happier I will be. It always makes me want to surpass them, but in the way of football, I don't want to make their lives miserable by kicking them. I want to hurt my opponent in football.
Working for Real Madrid and working under his childhood idol Zidane has always been Hazard's dream. Chelsea was able to spend seven seasons at Stamford Bridge, many of which ended with one or two trophys, which is an achievement in itself.

But the Blues knew that they had to sell the 30-year-old young man at the end of the 2018/19 battle. So they looked for potential alternatives and settled in Christian Prisic, a young star who traded in Germany.
In January 2019, six months before Hazard left, an agreement was reached with people aged 20 at that time. Get the best forward-looking plan from Chelsea. In July 2019, Plisic contacted the Blues first team just nine days after helping USMNT reach the Golden Cup final that summer.
This is a statement of intent by Prisic, indicating his determination to have an immediate impact on the Premier League giants. It didn't happen completely. Frank Lampard easily let him enter the starting lineup XI, which proved the correct strategy when the U.S. team scored six goals in eight appearances between October and November and received three assists.
The injury stopped Prisic's momentum, which was his recurring theme at Chelsea. But in his "restart plan" last season, he once again proved how much damage he could suffer, scoring five goals and four assists in ten games.
It was not until six weeks after the German coach coach coached at Stamford Bridge on March 13 that Prisic was selected for the Premier League. It's telling that he started two of the Elland road trip and scored three goals.
This form ensures that he was included in the game against Porto last night. Chelsea led the second leg of the quarter-finals with a double goal, but they must work hard to surpass Sergio Conceco's men.
Prisic found a difficult road.
Throughout the game, the 22-year-old player was kicked out, edited and shot down.

Full-time, the USMNT star has fouled 11 times, making it the most player in the Champions League since Lionel Messi played against Real Madrid in 2011. Even Hazard did not face so many fouls on Chelsea shirts.
Plisic told Chelsea's website that we know it's not easy, and they prove it. They bring a lot of strength, which is not easy at any time on this tie. But in the end, we just squeezed them out.
He added: "I think I've fouled a lot there, but in total, I'm healthy, so I'm happy about it.
I'm satisfied with the way I play. This is by no means an easy season for my individual and team. But I've worked hard on it. I feel good now.
Prisic scored four goals for the club and the country in the last five games. His perseverance to Porto is another sign that the winger is slowly recovering from his best.
He may face more challenges, especially for Chelsea. Pain will become an old friend. But if Prisic is to truly imitate Hazard of Stamford Bridge, he must accept all this and smile. Because this is a sign of his success in guiding the Blues.
