Eden Hazard’s situation at Real Madrid is far from pleasant. More than two years after his arrival, the striker has only six goals and has 188 days without breaking the net.
According to the diary AS, the call-up for the Belgian national team “has turned into an oasis” amidst so much criticism and doubts that haunt the player in Madrid.
This season, despite having left behind his physical problems, Hazard has been a mere supporting role in Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
His teammates believe that the next few weeks, in a different environment, can help him regain his confidence.
According to coach Roberto Martínez, Eden is doing everything possible to reach his best level.
In a press conference, Dries Mertens lamented the lack of minutes of his colleague at the Spanish club.
“I think I’ll need to talk to Carlo Ancelotti,” he said in an extroverted tone. “I’m kidding, Eden has an incredible mentality, but it’s a shame he has a boy in his place who plays so well and is winning games,” he added, referring to Brazilian Vinícius Júnior.
Another who came to Hazard’s defense was Kevin De Bruyne. The midfielder is a leader in the locker room and said he is not happy to see him in this situation, but will support his friend regardless of the decision whether or not to stay in the merengue team.
Hazard will have two chances to launch. Belgium will play Estonia, this Saturday (13), at 4:45 pm (GMT), and face Wales, on the 16th, also at 4:45 pm (GMT), both games valid for the European Cup Qualifiers. World.
The problem is that, as mentioned by Roberto Martínez, the athlete will hardly be able to play 90 minutes in one of the matches due to the lack of game rhythm.
A simple victory guarantees Belgium in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
