the Belgian Eden Hazard He will soon see his past this Wednesday. He will once again face Chelsea, the club where he gave the best years of his career. Of course, it seems difficult for him to have minutes, because this season all hopes of recovering his career at Real Madrid are over.
From commitment to Cibeles to intercourse. Only 321 minutes. He hasn’t played much as a professional. That phrase was far from the Belgian celebrating the 14th Champions League for the white team, the first on his record.
“Madridistas, I have been here for three years with many injuries, many things… but next year I will give everything for you,” he assured thousands of fans with microphones in hand. But it didn’t turn out that way.
And it was that risk hHe has been out for 159 days due to injury since his arrival at Real Madrid in June 2019. He made it as a star from Chelsea; Great performance at the Santiago Bernabéu included, but injuries changed the pace.
Especially after the absence of a countryman Thomas Meunier on November 26, 2019. A severe ankle injury that required surgery to replace a plate caused ongoing muscle problems and a lack of confidence that kept him far from the star Hazard is now .
The last surgical attempt to regain the level he showed at Chelsea took place on March 29, 2022 when he underwent surgery to remove the osteosynthesis space in the right fibula placed in 2019. His goal was to regain sensations, and he is convinced of this. Because of this, he recited that promise to Cibeles.
However, this season, despite having only two injuries, neither of them muscular and resulting in a 20-day absence, his participation has dropped to minutes never seen before in his career.
Eight games played and 321 minutes. Of them, the majority, 131, are in the Champions League; although facing Wednesday seems like a chimera that he won’t even warm up.
Carlo Ancelotti the campaign began with testing him as a striker in the absence of Karim Benzema and the efficient level dand Vinicius Junior on the left wing, but that place ended up being profitable Rodrygo will go.
Barely appearing in a Real Madrid shirt, a World Cup came his way Roberto Martinez tHe has to manage his minutes. He was a substitute in the main group stage match against Croatia, Belgium lost and that ended Eden Hazard’s international career.
He returned to Madrid and returned to ostracism. He recognized that he did not communicate with his coach, who only had a relationship of respect. Ancelotti confirmed it a few days later, showing, once again, that there is no way to redirect the situation. Of course, 20 days later, ‘Carletto’ was surprised.
With the score 4-0 against Valladolid, Hazard came on to warm up the side of a Santiago Bernabéu where he had not played in 203 days. He came off with 25 minutes to go, provided an assist and the words to him from his teammates after the match showed that, despite the difficult situation he was in, he was a beloved player in the locker room .
A role that, although few, will not survive in front of ‘his’ Chelsea. A rival he had the chance to face two years ago in the ‘Champions’ semifinals and became the star, but after the game. Laughing with his former teammates after leaving Real Madrid sparked controversy over his poor performance.
A confrontation that he could not do last season because of the operation to remove the osteosynthesis plate and which, being available, is not an option for Ancelotti in the quarterfinals that start this Wednesday.
