I'm not selfish enough to win the Ballon d'Or, says Hazard

Players must be selfish in order to win the prestigious award, according to the Chelsea star, who does not believe he fits the mould

Chelsea star Eden Hazard does not believe he is selfish enough to win the Ballon d'Or.

The Belgium international has made the Ballon d'Or shortlist in three of the past four years but, despite winning the PFA Players' Player of the Year in 2014-15, he has never finished higher than eighth in the voting, in 2015.

It has been an award dominated by Lionel Messi and Ronaldo for over a decade, as one of the two has won the Ballon d'Or every season since Kaka took home the trophy in 2007.
