“Play as if you were an aspirant.” This is the best advice you can give Eden Hazard right now. These words came from the mouth of Álvaro Benito, a former Real Madrid player and now a sports analyst.
His criteria are one of the best to try to deal with the difficult situation facing the Belgian. We still remember the promise made at the end of last season, when he took the microphone and promised to bring the illusion back to the stands.
Most of us madridisti are still subscribing to that possible return, but patience is exhausted and there does not seem to be a shred of hope for what one day has come be this footballer.
For the sports analyst, he should be able to fit that profile. If not, it will be raw to play. Let me examine the benefits of Rodrygo, among others. That was gradually getting into the team dynamics.
In the current season he played four of the twelve possible games. Although he had started with the hold and with a few minutes from the start, he did not know how to make the most of it to become strong in eleven.
Hazard’s numbers with Real Madrid
His numbers are unreliable and the most worthy thing we saw was the flash of light he had in the first group match against Celtic. Although that goal was just a mirage, as he grew too large and sinned as an accumulator.
White competition is overwhelming as well a player who spent four seasons at the club, You should be aware of the situation. In this team they don’t give anything away and everyone has to earn it. He has two years left on his contract: this campaign plus the next and then we’ll see what will be decided.
He hasn’t played since 11 September, when he started against Mallorca. Now it will be almost a month from what happened and five games later are the ones he has accumulated on the bench. Three from the League and two from the Champions League. You have another chance to play tomorrow. We will then see if Ancelotti will give him minutes.
The final verdict is offered by the green, according to Álvaro Benito. This is why the analyst advises him to eliminate that sometimes much-needed rebellion. If not, it appears that he is a hopeless player for the cause. His time at the white club will have gone completely unnoticed and as one of the worst signings of the white entity.
The hazard is permanently out of focus
We’ll see what happens with the player, but there seems to be more news lately for what he does non-sporting than on the playing field. His chapters on the bench with Rüdiger can generate some sympathy, but nothing more.
A player deserves to earn that tune on the pitch. The number of applause at the Bernabéu is proportional to how well the player will do from now on. He is the chief judge of everything that happens with his future.
We will see what he will be able to do in this campaign. The World Cup can work as a perfect revulsive and come back stronger than ever. Will the perception of Eden change? Where is all you promised?
