The Rise And Fall Of Eden Hazard
Спорт
Without a doubt, Eden Hazard is one of the most mesmerizing football players to take to the pitch in recent memory. Despite this, life in Madrid has been tough since his big money transfer.
But why is that?
What's happened to him in recent years and how good was he before his move to the Spanish Capital?

Miss Hazard at chelsea, he was the best dribbler in the world on his day. Changed the game by himself, absolute baller.
The weird thing is he started getting so many injuries at RM while barely any injuries before that. Almost seems like he can't cope with the training regime at RM. Even if he isn't a starter atm it seems like he's slowly growing back into his old form last few weeks/months. I think Carlo Ancelotti is doing wel bringing him slowly and putting no pressure on him to perform at his old level. I still have hope for him finding his form.

A great video about Eden. I did not even know much about his younger days.. Thank you for that!
that stat that thing of "creating goalscoring oppurtinites" is so vital and overlooked he was at the top of that,. its those moments in games after youve doine the skillfull flick or the manevouer can you then create that chance for someone that decisive pass thats magic! as difficult as scoring

Underrated channel!!!!
my favorite player to this date. so sad to see what's happening to him at Madrid. i honestly don't know what is gonna happen to his future. He needs a Big Euro Performance in the summer imo. If he can win the Euros, that would help drastically, but I don't know if the belgian coach still trusts him. I also think real madrid is the one club where you aren't allowed to underperform. I feel like at barca there is still a little bit more freedom, but at Madrid you have to hit the ground running or you're immediately going to get backlash from fans. Hazard never seemed like the guy who was serious enough to play for real Madrid.

Another great video Mr Football Iconic -- Eden is a great player but I think the ankle injury seems to be something he is never going to recover from
Hazard is a prime example that not every superstar can make it at Madrid. Madrid is an entirely different beast to play at compared to other clubs, and if you really aren't up for it mentally then you are inevitably going to fail. Bale tried his best as well and even at his best he just couldn't replicate what was expected of him. However, Bale gets a pass because of how instrumental he was in major moments (Copa del Rey and UCL) so even though he wasn't playing at his expected level, he still mostly delivered. A Madrid legend regardless if he was whistled most times he was on the field.

I think the best for Hazard is behind him. There’s this thing called age that tends to work against you. He has a couple of years left in him but not in a Real Madrid shirt, maybe in Série A at Roma where football is less intense.
