Eden Hazard Would Be Foolish to Go Anywhere but Manchester City

If Eden Hazard wants a chance to be a true legend of the pitch, he needs to sign with Manchester City. 

The highly sought-after 21-year-old Lille star is reportedly choosing between City, Manchester United and Chelsea. For many reasons, City is his best choice. 

Fit on the Pitch

Hazard has been described as a "little Messi" by many. With City, he would be able to fill a role similar to Messi's at Barcelona. 

City is filled with talent. They have a strong defense and talented strikers. This would allow Hazard a certain amount of freedom to work his magic. 

With City, he will not need to focus on defense, which will free him up to use his amazing offensive skill set.

On the offensive side of the ball, opposing defense's will have a hard time focusing too much on Hazard. This will give him room to work his goal scoring magic. 

If they do devote several players to containing Hazard, he will have plenty of options to set up others for goals. He would be a force in terms of both scoring and assists. 

Coaching

Manchester City coach Roberto Mancini does not have the amazing reputation of Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson, but he is still the right coach for Hazard.

Mancini is not one to coddle his superstars. He likes to challenge them, and this is what Hazard needs.

Hazard has displayed some questionable attitude in the past. This certainly is not surprising for a player with this kind of talent. The tendency is to pamper a player of this magnitude. 

This can lead to a player feeling content with their skills. Mancini will push Hazard to become a better player, and by simply agreeing to play for Mancini, Hazard will go a long way towards displaying a commitment to become the best player he can be. 

His Legacy

Manchester City is the new power player on the football block. They are in the beginning stages of carving out what could be a great dynasty. 

Hazard could quickly become the face of these efforts. 

By passing on the rich traditions of United and Chelsea, Hazard will have a chance to really put his stamp on a club. This is a quick and accessible path to becoming a legend.

Hazard has the potential to be an eternal legend, and there is no better place for him to do that than with Manchester City.
