“Like Messi, he wins games alone”
MADRID. It is also one of the greatest mysteries: Eden Hazard and the injuries. For the ninth time since his move in the summer of 2019, the Belgian superstar is currently out, and there are no solid reasons for such a streak of bad luck. Is it something psychological, like fear of further injuries, insufficient training or nutrition, or is it just bad luck? “Eden is in a vicious circle and it is not easy to get out of it“, Said the doctor of the Belgian national team in Kristof Sas.
Suitable for the fact that Hazard will only be in a year and a half 35 of a possible 84 times Slipped on the white jersey, comes an anecdote from Filipe Luís. The 35-year-old Brazilian shared the dressing room with Hazard at Chelsea in the 2014/15 season and says: “Together with Neymar, Eden is the best I’ve played with. Like Messi, he wins games alone. “
Open laces and Mario Kart
But on the other side of the gigantic talent and skills there is an apparently manageable willingness to work. “He didn’t defend much, didn’t train so well and five minutes before games he was still playing Mario Kart in the dressing room. He exercised and warmed up with open laces “, explained Luís THE GUARDIAN, but also added: “But he went out and no one could take the ball from him. He dribbled out three or four. If the opponents got too close, he just pulled away, really strong. “
Watching the 30-year-olds play football is what Luís described as “Miel”, honey. “So intelligent: one-on-two, combine, solo, prepare, meet, everything. Maybe he lacks a bit of ambition to say ‘I’m the best in the world’ because he could be – from a talent point of view he’s the best “, so the ode of the left-back, who is now playing for Flamengo Rio de Janeiro.
Filipe Luís is not alone with his praise. André Schürrle already played with Hazard and said last November: “I thought he was the best player in the world!” But Schürrle also recognized Hazard’s contradiction between talent and commitment or ambition: “When I saw him in training, I thought, ‘It won’t work here.’“
Hazard talks about unlucky injuries and explains what gives him stability. Continue reading

In Madrid: 35 games, eleven goals
The expectations could hardly have been higher in Madrid, if he were to provide spectacle and goals again a year after Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure. But so far Real Madrid has paid the (alleged) 115 million euros “only” for four own and seven prepared goals in 2,176 minutes (one scorer point every 197 minutes).
And Hazard himself? He thinks his eighth injury in Madrid (plus a Corona outage) is “not the end of the world“And looked ahead optimistically at the beginning of February:”I just have to wait and see, work hard.“He seems to be doing that: At first it was said that he would not return until mid-March, so he has been training individually on the lawn since mid-February and is now more and more involved in ball work. A game against Real Sociedad on Monday is of course too early, but the second leg against Atalanta Bergamo on March 16 is anything but impossible. And many more seasons, as Hazard himself explained: “I can play for at least another five or six years.“Maybe then the bad luck will end and he can show his new team colleagues that he is actually one of the best in the world.
