EDEN HAZARD FROM AN HONEST FOOTBALLING PERSPECTIVE. (Editorial Analysis By @Josediccus)

Eden Hazard has been speaking to the media in Spain and Chelsea fans have been wondering why he keeps poking into the club even if he had left and now had a new challenge to face, recently he insinuated that Spanish fans are much more better fans than English fans and lately he's been making a lot of comparisons with his time currently in Spain and his time when he was at Chelsea, but does this really signal that the Belgian winger is really bored at Madrid? or is he being ungrateful to Chelsea? or is he just speaking freely after not being able to express himself at Stamford Bridge?

Needless to say, Eden Hazard hasn't really found that mojo that made him the deadliest player in the English Premier League for a long time in the la Liga with the Galacticos and in my opinion he might not, Truth is, we aren't even talking about the Belgian replacing Ronaldo who has joined Juventus currently and after seeing him for three games in Madrid there isn't seem to be life in the way he plays I definitely feel he might score a few goals in the la Liga but not more than 7 and anyone who knows how he plays will definitely know that he does so well when the team is built around him.

But I don't see Zinedine Zidane building the team around Eden Hazard very soon and here is the reason why; despite his transfer fee (Hazard) Zidane is under pressure to bring the needed result to the Bernabeu and I feel so sorry for him that he has been exposed not having the best player in the world anymore in the team in the person of Cristiano Ronaldo (arguably), the chaos at Real Madrid will be the Achilles heel of Eden Hazard because he's the player who likes to roam around the wing switching back and forth experiencing a free role but this will be what he will never enjoy at Madrid, I might be proven wrong but currently he's at par with some of the people he's playing with and until he can produce some individual brilliance on his own with just the little space he's given, he might never get that free role, deep down he knows this.

I stand by my point when I say the laliga is an easier league to play in than the EPL, and Hazard has thrived in much difficult circumstances, but in Spain "difficult" is not the word to use. Realmadrid may end up winning the league but this won't be because of their quality or good football but because of Barcelona fumbling due to Ernesto Valverde's Inability to bring out the best from Messi and co. Without a doubt one might never fathom the mess Hazard is in currently, if you must know he's got a knack to crave favouritism and when not gotten he tend to perform poorly and before he might become the favourite player at the Bernabeu it may take him up to 5 years and by then he is already nearing his retirement age for all we know

During Antonio Conte's era at Chelsea Diego Costa and Fabregas where the talked about duo and not Hazard, why is this so? It's because the Italian gaffer preferred hard work more than guile and because the team wasn't really tilted in favoritism of Hazard's strength we saw Diego Costa and Fabregas doing or making the headlines more than the Belgian, that's while Hazard might need the MADRID team, the formation and the system to suit his style of play else might just be another Isco Under the shadow of Luca Modric, but what if he formation was tilted to allow him roam?

Not now, the days of individual brilliance might be over at the Bernabeu, because Zinedine prefers a collection of individual brilliance playing their part to make a deadly team, I would like to compare Hazard to Zaha of crystal palace. He later played at Manchester United but couldn't really do a thing because he's a player who thrives on individual space and not collective brilliance playing at Crystal Palace makes him King and brings out the best in him and this was exactly the same for Romelu Lukaku in Everton and couldn't really replicate in Manchester United, I don't know yet but Hazard might suffer the same fate, he might not be given that chance at Madrid at this may see him become an average winger at the club he claims to love from childhood.
