You almost had to pinch yourself to believe it. While he no longer plays much in La Liga and hoped to best prepare for the return match once morest Manchester City, Charles Ancelottithe Real Madrid coach, had decided to rotate by establishing, among other things, Eden Hazard once morest Getafe.
A small sensation for the Belgian public, more necessarily accustomed to seeing the former Red Devil at the party in recent months. It’s very simple, Hazard had not tasted a tenure in La Liga since September 11, almost 8 months. An eternity for a player who asks only to find this rhythm which flees him.
Propelled holder on his favorite left flank alongside Marco Asensio and of Federico Valverde, the Brainois, like all of his team, had a difficult first half. Entangled in the marking, sometimes pot-of-glue, sometimes rough from Getafe players. On the ground several times, the Belgian tried to offer some play but without success.
Forced to go down very low to touch the slightest ball or to run in the void, he lived 45 frustrating minutes and almost devoid of chills. And if he came back on the lawn better following the break, his overall performance will unfortunately not go down in history. His coach did not hesitate to bring him down on the hour mark, gradually bringing his usual captains (Vinicius, Kroos, Modric) into the game.
It was therefore from the bench that Hazard saw Asensio plant his 9th goal of the season in La Liga… just a few minutes following his substitution. What comfort Ancelotti in the idea that Real works better when Hazard is not there? There is only one step, which the detractors of Brainois will undoubtedly cross…
