“Hazard? I have to call Ancelotti because it’s not fair …”

Carlo Ancelotti has not only relegated Eden Hazard to the bench, but has him only for the ‘garbage minutes’ of the games. This season it seemed that the Belgian was going to finish exploding in white, recovering a level similar to the one he had in the Chelsea. Nothing could be further from the truth, his situation is every day more worrying. In the last month he has only played 34 minutes.

Hazard is in Belgium with his team, where he still feels like a star and is protected by the environment. There, he found in Dries Mertens, teammate, a faithful ally. The winger knows Ancelotti well, having had him as a coach at Naples. Regarding the relationship between Eden and her coach, she joked. “I think I have to call Carlo because it’s not fair”, He commented between laughter before the press. “I’m not kidding. Eden has an incredible mindset that things will get better. It’s a shame there is a boy in his place who plays very well and Real Madrid is winning games. But it takes time. With time, all good footballers get minutes and I am sure that he will play again, “he added, throwing a cape on his teammate.

Mertens is the second person to support Hazard publicly. A few days ago Roberto Martínez assured that the situation is an “ideal situation”, But he added: “That’s football. I have seen that he is medically well. He is completely fit. We have a good relationship with Real Madrid. We know that they do extra work to stay as fit as possible. Eden wants to do everything possible to reach your highest level. “
