Roberto Martinez: Hazard is next best in the world after Messi and Ronaldo

Belgium national team manager Roberto Martinez recently claimed Chelsea star Eden Hazard is the most decisive player in the world after Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The talismanic Stamford Bridge figure starred for Chelsea and Belgium in 2018, positioning himself at the top of the Premier League ranks.

Martinez told The Times, “At international level, I have only seen a player playing at the very top consistently.

“If you take Ronaldo and Messi away, I don’t think you can find another player as decisive.

“Eden has won the league at Lille, a team that didn’t have the right to win it.

“And he has won the league at Chelsea in two different projects.

“The consistency is there, and he is at the best moment of his career right now.”

Hazard has scored eight goals and made nine assists for Chelsea this season. Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson believes Hazard is much more able than his peers at Manchester United, given his ability to single-handedly carry Chelsea.

He said, “When he's at his best, he's the best of the best. He can beat three players and score a goal, and I don't see a lot of people in the country doing that.

"He's carrying Chelsea. [Kevin] De Bruyne, [Raheem] Sterling et al aren't carrying their team but Hazard can. That first few months of the season, you could argue that he was the best player in world football.

"We've seen him have dips in the past, and he needs that consistency, but if I were to buy one player out of everyone, it would be him."

The finger-cutting tradition of Indonesia's Dani tribe

The death of a loved one is always an extremely painful thing to bear, and people of different cultures grieve in diverse ways, some more unique than others. A typically unique way of grieving is that of the Dani (an Indonesian tribe). Finger-cutting is a fundamental part of grieving for women of the Dani tribe, and pertains to their women only. According to The Globe and Mail, an estimated 250,000 Dani tribe members live in a town named Wamena, in the extremely remote central highland area of Papua Province. Wamena is only accessible by plane. Upon the death of a loved one, the top joint of one of a woman's fingers would be amputated, and smear ashes and clay across their faces. Prior to amputation, a string would be firmly tied to the upper half of the woman's finger for 30 minutes, to cause numbness. This was to reduce the pain from amputating the tip. In most cases, the responsibility of cutting off the top joint of the finger is assigned to one of the woman's...
