DBasia.news – Eden Hazard wants to prove that Real Madrid did not sign him as a failed player. Looking at the 2022-2023 season, Hazard is increasingly motivated to show himself as a quality player and will contribute to the club.
It’s no secret, since coming to Madrid from Chelsea in 2019 for 115 million euros Hazard is like a different player there. The Belgian winger is often injured, is not fit, and does not consistently perform at a high level.
Just imagine, Hazard has been at Real Madrid for three years but from the potential to play the El Clasico match against Barcelona, he has never played at all. No doubt the public opinion judged him a failed player and did not contribute – different from Gareth Bale who had gone to Los Angeles FC.
Even players younger than Hazard such as Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes contributed more to Madrid’s success, especially last season when Carlo Ancelotti’s side won LaLiga and the Champions League.
The whole situation motivated him. Hazard is happy that Madrid have won trophies, but on the other hand he wants to prove that the team can still be successful with him playing. In short, Hazard is motivated to revive his career.
“In my head I said to myself, OK, I can play, I don’t feel any pain. I’m moving forward. I’m enjoying my holiday and I’m back ready for pre-season,” Hazard said as quoted by Marca.
“When we won all those titles I was happy for my team-mates, for the club and for the fans.”
“But inside me there is one thing. I am happy for the group, but in my heart I said to myself, ‘Let’s show that I can play and the team can win with me too’,” concluded the former Lille player.
