Eden Hazard’s injuries, which keep him away from Real Madrid’s plans and therefore at the center of criticism in Spain, could have an unexpected explanation: is he working too hard?
At least that’s what his former Chelsea teammate, the talented John Obi Mikel, left in the air, who in an interview with The Athletic revealed an unknown facet of the Belgian.
“I always said that Hazard is one of the most gifted players, he had everything: speed, power, ability, technique … He was right behind Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. But only if he wanted to. Sometimes he said,” Yes. I want to be so good, I can be. Not as good as Messi because he is from another planet, but I think I can be close to Cristiano and even better “… But he is not so dedicated. He does not train well, he is the worst player. Training that I played with “, he commented.
In fact, already in 2019, the African had already told Bein Sports: “When we were training, he waited for us standing up until we finished. He is the laziest player, but on Sunday he was always the best in the game. it was incredible. “
“Why is it so bad? My God. Eden, Eden, Eden … ahhhh. Because he was so good that no one said anything. He will come on Saturday and win the game for us, he was the man of the match. But on Monday and Tuesday, he was training and he didn’t seem to be there. He was standing, wandering. Everyone was fighting, screaming in games and he didn’t do any of that. But you saw him on the field, how good he was. “It’s not fair for some people to be so talented!” Milkel concluded.
There, Real Madrid could start looking for an explanation and can find a solution to the problem of Hazard’s chronic injury: does he work too much and does that affect his talent when it comes to competition? At this point, nothing can be ruled out.
