Belgium has offered a great night yesterday beating Wales 2-1 in the Nations League, with the main news, the tenure of Eden Hazard. Armband around his arm, the Belgian played a good hour of play before being replaced in the 65th minute by Trossard. We saw him in good shape, taking his responsibilities, and with a smile, a rare thing for three years. Injuries have so far left him alone since the start of the season. Bodes well with less than two months to the World Cup now.
“It was a pleasure, we had a good match, especially a very good first half. We win the match, we take three points and we will go to Holland to prepare well for the World Cup. I know what I can do when I play. It’s up to me to try to scratch as many minutes as possible and get to the World Cup in good shape.” he explained following the final whistle. Against the Netherlands on Sunday, it is quite simply the first place in group 4 that will be at stake, the Batavians having a three-point lead over their neighbors.
Hazard calls for game time
A Hazard in form will not be too much to try to reverse a fairly compromised situation all the same. “We will see what the coach decides to do. If I play, I will be the happiest.” Because the attacking midfielder considers himself ready to continue, especially in a club where he only occupies a role of luxury substitute. And even. He also took advantage of this post-match interview to send a message to Ancelotti. “You have to ask him the question, when you see him, you tell him”he replies when asked if the Italian technician has confidence in him.
A barely veiled reproach. “I want to play, it was complicated times, because I want to play but I don’t play. But I give it my all, I want to be on the pitch. I feel good at Real Madrid, it’s just that I play less, but when I play, I play well. It’s a tricky situation. I want to play more, I know I can bring more. By taking the rhythm, I will come back, but I just have to play”ensures the number 10. Hazard has so far only participated in four game ends with the Casa Blanca, including only one tenure.
