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

Everyone misses some from time to time. It’s impressive though his percentage is so high with so many penalties taken. The guy certainly isn’t flustered by the big moment.

I guarantee a lot more of those penalties CR took were high pressure situations versus Hazard’s for example...

 

Valencia's Alves gave him the most trouble among GIs. He has saved multiple Ron penalties. Alves in general was the best GK in penalty situations.

 

He'd miss plenty more when he takes as many pens as Eden has.

 

He missed in CL final for Manchester United and he also missed one against Bayern in the CL semifinal for us iirc?? Or did he not take the penultimate one like he should have?

But he was tip tier when it came to penalties. Only people I’d prefer to him are Ruud van Nistelrooy and Zidane.

 

Against Bayern I think Kaka, Ronaldo and Ramos took our first three and all missed?

 

Lol

 

Insane. That speaks to his mental side to deliver at that stage consistently.

 

Yeah. It’s one clear area where Cristiano and Messi are clearly miles apart.

I was watching the Jordan docu with my brother and dad and we were making that point as well about MJ and Cristiano and their psychological traits being similar.

Cristiano Ronaldo is my favorite athlete ever, not only that he's a countrymen to me which brings even more special meaning for me & the Portuguese side of my family.

I still can't put him above Jordan though as greatest athlete ever. I think Michael Jordan is the most mentally strong athlete I've ever seen, and that is a big part of why he's the GOAT. For me it can't be stated enough how important that mental side of sports are, most nerds who never played a sport at a high level don't get this.

 

Bruh, now your propping up a Barca player over one of our own. Hazard >>> Griezmann, not once did I ever feel worried when Griezmann had the ball against us, not with Real/Atletico/Barca.

Hazard is one of the best players of this last decade, Griezmann was a good system player that fit well in team-oriented systems in Atletico and France. Hazard is not Ronaldo or Messi level, but surely he is better than Griezmann's level lol.

 

I have seen 4x4 absolutely sh*t on greasyman in the past so the positive praise of him recently is interesting...

 

Since we're on Griezmann topic:

Just a few players TAA has faced: Cristiano, Messi, Sterling, Son, Gnabry, Ribery, Neymar, Mbappe

He says Hazard is the most difficult he's faced

 

As an English player not surprised he would choose someone from the EPL so really it was between Sterling, Son and Hazard, the end....

let me add, I am biased here also, I don’t rate TAA that highly as a defender like everyone else does so generally not putting much stock into his thoughts on that side of his game

 

I like Hazard but it still feels like he's not one of our players.

 

Hazard is one of the best dribblers and playmakers in the game, second to maybe only Messi. The way people talk about him here youd think we signed Drenthe. It's ok to be annoyed about his lack of shape and rustiness at the start, then his injuries later, but he was looking pretty damn good before getting hurt in that PSG game. Youd think RM fans would get excited about him getting back on the field and showing more of that. Am literally mindblown by the negativity here sometimes, then again I was here when Cristiano and Modric were being shat on so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

This is my sentiment as well. Was so excited about his signing, but he has barely featured and even less memorable games. Biggest dissapoinment was how unprofessional he was coming overweight to the pre season obviously. When I see players praising Hazard, first thought comes to my mind is that it's about Chelsea Hazard and I am not sure we'd get that version. He will have to show that on the pitch and taking care of himself as old ways won't work when you are close to 30.
