Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne has revealed why it was weird for him to see Eden Hazard play at Chelsea while he sat on the club's bench.
Morata: Struggling Ronaldo Not A Machine
The Belgian has hinted at being mistreated at Stamford Bridge, and does not agree with the notion that he was too young to be starting games regularly, while Hazard, who is the same age as him, was playing week in and week out.
"At the time at Chelsea I had already many, many games under my belt," he told the Daily Mail.
"I didn't feel I was like a normal 20-year-old because I had already played for years in Belgium and then on loan from Chelsea in Germany.
"I think they (Chelsea) had a different view than I had of myself. I was young but also experienced.
"If I had come through the youth then maybe I would be happy to play 10 games there.
"As far as I was concerned, I was ready to play. I have read that, for them at Chelsea, I was too young, but in my mind you are never too young. If you are ready, you are ready.
"I think (Eden) Hazard was the same age as me when he played so it's a little bit strange to say this guy is young and the other guy is old enough to play.
"It's just another way of saying that somebody isn't good enough."
