Hazard releases his truths after the fiasco in Qatar!

Very little used this season at Real Madrid by Carlo Ancelotti, the Belgian playmaker is only a shadow of himself since his transfer from Chelsea to the Spanish capital in 2019. The former Lille player has never succeeded to win in La Liga when he dreamed of playing for the merengue club. Now a young retiree with the Red Devils, Hazard reconsidered this decision during an interview with the RTBF. “There are several factors. I started thinking about it after the Euro. At the time, I had worked a lot, I got injured, I couldn’t play against Italy. It really took a toll on my morale. There are lots of things. I’m here in Madrid with Toni Kroos who stopped the German selection two years ago and who tells me that when the other players are in selection, he can enjoy with his children. And then the coach left, we had a very good relationship. he confided.

Place for youth

During this interview, Hazard admitted that his best years were behind him and that other players deserved to take over. “There are also young people growing. I could not see myself not playing at Real Madrid and then arriving in the selection and playing, when young people deserve to play for the Devils”, he continued. After the fiasco of the last World Cup, concluded by elimination from the group stage, Belgium will try to rebuild during the Euro 2024 qualifiers.

Tensions in selection?

The attacking midfielder of Real Madrid did not escape a question about the supposed tensions that appeared in the locker room of the Red Devils. “Of everything that was said at the World Cup, there was very little truth. The relationship with the players, with the elders, has always been exceptional. From what I saw, there was no tension. No one fought. It was impossible for Eden to fight with Jan. Because we already respect each other, we prefer to tell each other things. We had a discussion all together after the match against Morocco, which was necessary”, he concluded.
