Belgium blames Zidane for Hazard's injury

When Eden Hazard saw his dream of signing for Madrid fulfilled, no one expected that the road would be full of thorns. Physical problems have not let him shine and, every time he takes flight, the sword of Damocles of injuries makes an appearance. The last sample crystallized in the match against Alavés when, after half an hour, the Belgian had to take his way to the dressing room with his right thigh damaged. The tests have confirmed the omens that pointed out that he will lose, first, the derby on the 12th against Atleti and, then, almost everything that remains of 2020. Belgium has one culprit: Zinedine Zidane.

“I think that he has exceeded the limit, that he has pushed his body too far”he said to the newspaper HLN Kris Van Crombrugge, doctor of the Belgian team, days ago. From this medium they take up the subject and point to the precipitation for Hazard's return to the playing fields as the reason for both his last relapse and the previous ones. So, point out that, after the muscle tear that pushed de la Louvière off the pitch in October, the deadlines were sped up too much and highlight their direct return to ownership (He played 60 minutes against Huesca) after just two sessions as extremely optimistic.

After the match against the Huesca team, Eden tested positive for coronavirus, a new stumble that prevented him from taking flight. Once available, went straight back to eleven Zizou, which considered that the Red Devil was prepared to be the game at La Cerámica (1-1 against Villarreal), at San Siro four days later (where he shone against Inter and broke his scoring drought in the Champions League), and the aforementioned clash against Alavés, at the which, his right thigh said enough. Three titles in seven days that from Belgium they consider excessive, taking into account the physical history that Eden accumulates since his arrival in the Spanish capital and the little recovery time between games.

This mistrust is not something new, since the own HLN revealed that the Belgian Federation came to suspect the Madridista's positive for COVID-19. “Mistrust is understandable,” noted the Belgian newspaper, “because once again During the last days, Real Madrid made it clear that Hazard's call does not fit their plans“. Roberto Martínez had to go out of this information and denied when asked about ACE that there was that feeling within the team: ““There is nothing mysterious, at all, about his positive. He is asymptomatic and well, and that is the only thing that matters”.

Hazard, take it easy

As for the player, he is calm. As you may have learned ACE, Hazard does not blame neither Zidane nor the club for his relapses. The management of minutes is something agreed between both parties, since the relationship between French and Belgian is fantastic and communication is continuous and fluid. At no point has he felt pressured to play, in past injuries or in his current one. Do not forget that one of the great values ​​of the former Chelsea is his own Zizou, who already strongly recommended his signing when he was a gem yet to be polished in the ranks of Lille, before Chelsea joined his cause.

In fact, the surprise of the Marseillais when asked about stress as a cause of injuries was capital. “What if Hazard's is stress?”, He asked before exclaiming: “No! He is very strong”.
