Hazard warning signs flashing as Lille youngster wants to shine on the big stage[LNB]THERE was a clue on the teamsheet as to who might cause Liverpool problems at the Stadium Lille Metropole last week.[LNB]When the aptly named Eden Hazard stepped up to deceive all with a late free-kick, it wasn't such a surprise for some of Europe's top clubs.[LNB]Rumour has it that the likes of Barcelona, Inter, Real Madrid and Arsenal are forming a disorderly queue to tempt the 19-year-old away from Ligue 1.[LNB]Given the choice, the talented teenager is said to prefer a move to either the Emirates or the Bernabeu.[LNB]'They are the clubs I dreamed of joining as a child,' said Hazard.[LNB]'If I joined Inter or Barcelona and could play football there then that would be very good, but Real and Arsenal are really great and play at a very high technical level.'[LNB]His goal gives Lille the edge ahead of tonight's last 16, second leg, although Hazard has warned against a Liverpool backlash.[LNB]'We've taken the lead but we know that we'll have to give everything in an even tougher game at Anfield,' said the Belgium international.[LNB]'As for my goal, I'm not supposed to take the free-kicks but I was asked to.[LNB]'I wanted to put it in the box. No one touched it.[LNB]'Good for us. We hope we can keep this advantage.'
