Been Waiting For This Moment.. All My Life.. Oh Madrid! - Welcome Eden Hazard

I don't care about Belgium, but it seems a lot of people here do, based on the hate Hazard is receiving for his Belgium performances.

I'm sure you understand perfectly that saying "Belgium is losing because Hazard is a bad leader" not only is a false statement, but it also has no bearing on how much longer he is going to be a Madrid player. He has one more year left and unless the contract is renegotiated to reflect his value and ability, shitting on him for every thing he has or hasn't done wrong is pointless.

 

Ok. I’ll reword it lol

Hazard being the leader definitely is not helping them not lose

 

Dozens of things are not helping them not lose more than Hazard being the leader. So if you select and emphasize that, you're pointlessly hating.

 

Never pointless of it brings me joy

 

Kane too. Both England and Brazil stupidly left their star attackers in too long in the first match and both paid the price (Neymar out at least 2 matches, and a 50% Kane was easily marked out of the second game).

Gotta think 2-3 weeks ahead when you're a manager of a WC contender....

 

All true except as much as Martinez may want to believe it, i don't think Eden falls into that category for Belgium anymore, KDB yes, although he has been fairly ordinary, Eden, not so much.

 

Decent based on what?

 

He's not even better than Lucas Vasquez at this point.

 

I’d rank him right behind Mariano in the pecking order

 

What are we supposed to do, love him? For being a thorough unprofessional who turned up fat after his dream move ? He cost us more than CR7, while being less productive than Mariano,let that just sink in for a moment.
Your never-ending demeanor to swim against the tide is simply irksome.

 

I don’t hate Eden. I know I troll a lot, but he is by all accounts a good dude, teammate, and a good family man.


I just have no patience for professionals like him. Dudes that have so much talent but no heart. No fire. No desire. Dude lot only showed up out of shape but at jo point have we seen any urgency from him to try to remedy the situation. All we see is dumb basic training videos and even dumber interviews where he admits he sucks but doesn’t really own up to it nor does he make a commitment to change the circumstances. Goes to the World Cup and still shows no fire. You’d think he’d be tryi by to prove a point instead he is just as much as a passenger there as he is here.


Can’t respect a dude like that as a footballer. Just pathetic

 

On top of my head, I could not name another case, but it happened before. Player A who was a legend in his country was playing poorly for his club during the season, but the national team manager kept faith or hope, and selects him for the WC Finals. He sank even lower in the Finals. But most of those players only played poorly for a season. Hazard? He has been bad for at least three seasons. Martinez is someone with a serious problem.

PS: Falcao and Brazil in the 1986 WC finals came to mind. Bale is a way similar, but his performance for Wales during the last few seasons was not bad at all.

 

No idea what kind of "fire" you expect to see or believe it would make him play better. He's playing his game just as a diminished athlete. No amount of fire makes a difference when you're just physically not that good anymore. These are tropes and cliches that only serve to reinforce some biased image.

Youre not supposed to love him, you're just also not supposed to come into this thread with rants about how unprofessional and poor leader he is every time he misplaces a pass for a team that is not even Madrid. He came overweight four years ago in one summer, just as he came every summer for Chelsea. Two weeks later he lost the excess weight, then the injury nightmare which changed everything started, and yet we're still talking here about those two weeks in 2019 when he was fat as if that has anything to do with him now as a Belgium player. Come on.

The thought of Eden having enough balls to fight anyone lol

 

Knuckle head?
it’s not the question of having balls or not! It’s about having leadership and team spirit- preferring not to indulge in altercations with team mates.
The quote above was a sarcastic remark from Eden!

 

I know he was sarcastic

he is also a good teammate from all accounts

but also the dude shows no fire on the pitch. Always on chill mode. He isn’t fighting anyone

 

Final chance for him to salvage his career at the top level. After the next game he can go wherever. Just play fortnite for the rest of the Real contract.

Such a finished player.

 

everyone is a tough guy vs a ball boy lol

 

We are still talking about those two weeks in 2019 ? Lol....he is still fat.
