Can a player in a state of obvious physical neglect play in the Premier League? The answer is yes, given the extra pounds Eden Hazard wore in this Sunday’s game against Valladolid. Palm Sunday brought some news to Real Madrid. One of them was the surprise return of Eden Hazard.

The Belgian, who has done something he hasn’t done in the Cup since January 3 in Cáceres in the white jersey, needs to be on the field until September 11, 2022 to see the Belgian in the League. They will face Mallorca for the last time on matchday 5. The Belgian striker replaced Karim Benzema, who scored three goals and released his rifle, scoring a hat-trick in seven minutes, making it one of the most spectacular goalscoring moments on record. The Frenchman scored in seven minutes almost the same league goals Hazard has scored since arriving in Madrid four seasons ago.

The novelty, given the solvency of Madrid’s win over Valladolid at halftime, Carlo Ancelotti, who, as the player admitted, did not speak to Hazard, benefited from players who did not play regularly: Hazard, Vallejo and Odriozola. In the 64th minute, the Belgian jumped onto the field with a loud whistle, which did not forgive him for being physically abandoned from the Bernabéu. as Madrid players in these seasons. 203 days, six months later he was on the field and 20 days later he felt like a Real Madrid player again.

Message Ancelotti cloak

When asked about the whistles, the always elegant Ancelotti handed his footballer a cape, but left a message for the Belgian in the end. “Yes, I have. Eden has been working well this time. He played very little but did well and got assists. Good education can have opportunities”. A message that actually reveals that Hazard doesn’t have more opportunities because he hasn’t trained well. And that’s something that’s popular in the locker room and club. He wasn’t the only one in the dressing room who wanted a little love for the Belgian. Alaba warned, “Heaven is important to us,” Lucas Vazquez Thanks to the Belgian’s assist, the player who scored the sixth goal wanted to thank him: “Great help from you. I am very happy for him!”.

Eden has not made an assist in La Liga since 14 August 2021. He has one more year contract with Real Madrid until June 2024 and has already been warned that his intention is to stay. at the club and to fulfill his contract. Something explained by looking his salary, which will be 23,162,880 gross euros in his last season. 23 million makes Real Madrid unable to place him in any team. In fact, no one accepted the offer of José Ángel Sánchez and Florentino Pérez, no matter how hard the white club tried to place him in another team.

Surprised the dressing room and the team

Hazard came to the World Cup with expectations of gaining Ancelotti’s trust. and enjoy more minutes in Madrid. This is how his environment conveyed it, and the actor expressed it in the dressing room. But the truth is that the Belgian continued his physical laziness in training, which surprised the Real Madrid coaching team. He said that he expects a bigger effort from the Belgian from the speech he made on the football player’s return from Qatar. And to understand why Ancelotti didn’t give him more minutes, you only need to see his physical condition on the field against Valladolid. Talent is indisputable, but physical abandonment is undeniable.

His appearance and help did not fall on deaf ears, and there was even a football player asking his club to sign him. The player in question is Belgian striker Loïs Openda, who is already an international for Domenico Tedesco’s team and is one of the Ligue 1 revealers with fifteen goals for Lens. Openda made the following warnings: “Eden Hazard is a player for the Belgian team that I love and admire. I don’t care about his past in Lille. I think he would be a perfect signature for Lens.” In the noble district of the Bernabéu, nothing asks for more. But given his physical abandonment, there is no expectation at the club that this will happen. He’s the first to not have them.
