Belgium was one of the top favorites in the run-up to the Euro 2020, but now that the tournament has been moved to mid-next year, there are concerns about defense. The already old defenders of the Red Devils are then a year older. Eden Hazard is not concerned.
Players like Vincent Kompany (33), Thomas Vermaelen (34), Jan Vertonghen (32) and Toby Alderweireld (31) have been part of the rear of Belgium for years and are nearing the end of their careers. “You can see it as ‘a year older’. But you can also say: extra experience. I’m not worried. The quality is there – it doesn’t matter if you are 25 or 35,” says Hazard at RTBF.
“Perhaps we will be a little less fresh if the matches follow each other quickly,” the 29-year-old attacker acknowledges. “But hey, we are pros, we can handle that. Hopefully everyone at his club can play a good season so that we can be top at the European Championship.”
Real Madrid
Hazard himself has had a disappointing first year at Real Madrid due to injury. He is determined to get back together. “I have had some setbacks, but will not be settled for this season. People are allowed to judge me for my second season. I have four more years with Real and will do everything I can to show me here”, quotes The newspapaer.
