Svery few madridistas are already waiting for something Eden Hazardwhich has barely added the 25% of the possible minutes in 2022 despite being free of injuries or any other mishaps that have affected him, such as covid or gastroenteritis that caused him to miss three games at the end of last November. Since then, Hazard has always been available from a medical point of view, but Carlo Ancelotti he hardly counted on him.
The Belgian has barely played 13 minutes in Madrid’s last three league games. His last start dates back to January 23, 79 minutes in the tie in extremis against Elche at the Bernabeu. Later, 25 minutes before the Granadaeight before the Villarrealfive before the Alaves and none before him Lightning.
Hazard, the player with the highest record in the squad, along with Gareth Balejust add 270 minutes of 1.080 possible in the new year, which began with multiple rumors about the future of the Belgian. With contract until 2024, there were several rumors about a possible release in the winter market. The player closed the doors to that possibility trusting in a comeback that, a month after the closing of the transfer window, seems more distant than ever.
“He says he has nothing against Hazard… Ancelotti lies”
Hazard, who has been penalized by injuries cruelty since that game with him PSG in the 19-20 Champions League, he seems to have finally got rid of physical problems (his last muscle ailment dates from mid-October 2021), but not of the stigma that haunts him since he wears white. Arrived at the club as a new franchise player after Cristiano left the previous yearat this time the harsh reality is that it is supersub in Madrid. vinicius He has been expelled from the left wing and only on the other side could he find a loophole, which now denies him above all Asensio and to a lesser extent Rodrygo.
Although some in Valdebebas do not understand the ostracism of the Belgian, the truth is that Hazard faces a key moment in his career at the end of this season. He still has a two-year contract at Madrid, but the current situation, which could worsen for him with the arrival of Mbappe y/o Haaland, does not advise anything other than a change of scenery. Otherwise, The World Cup in Qatar is in danger, one of the great challenges of the footballer, who may even see his place in the Belgian team compromised. Despite his status, the truth is that his physical problems have penalized him even with the Red Devilswith whom he has not played a full match since June 2021.
With the match against PSG on Madrid’s immediate horizon, a return of the great Hazard against the Parisians in the Whites’ comeback attempt would be a dramatic turnaround. The only problem is that, apart from a large sector of the fans, Ancelotti also seems to have lost faith in Eden, who risks becoming totally invisible on the Madrid bench.
