Eden Hazard (29 years old) looks like another. It is the comment among the usual tenants of Valdebebas. The Belgian has recovered his smile, he has left behind the endless solo sessions he had to endure in the recovery from his first serious injury (the one that his compatriot Meunier caused him against PSG on November 26) and in training he is showing himself like that unbalanced player who brought him to Madrid just a year ago. In yesterday's, they assure, he gave an authentic exhibition. Zidane organized a match at Di Stéfano at 7:30 p.m., a simulation of the resumption of the championship against Eibar with official kits, including. Hazard formed with Benzema, Modric, James, Carvajal, Asensio, Varane, Nacho Kroos, Modric … In the other team Isco, Brahim, Lucas Vázquez, Casemiro, Marcelo, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Valverde, Ramos … It was a 2 -2 final and Bale, the great absence.
Hazard is important again. On June 7, 2019, the white club announced on its website the hiring of Chelsea's crack for 100 million euros and a five-year contract. But already in the presentation before 50,000 fans at the Bernabéu it was verified that he was out of shape after his vacation (part of it was on the beaches of Marbella). In addition, on the eve of the team's league debut with Celta in Balaídos, he suffered another injury, this one in the anterior rectum of his left thigh, which delayed his official debut with Real Madrid for a few weeks (he played half an hour against Levante on September 14 ). It was difficult for him to get the rhythm that we know from his time at Chelsea and he barely left Vaseline a goal for Granada and many technical details, as in Ipurua. But it was not the Hazard that the Bernabéu fans dreamed of.
Calvary is over for him. His teammates comment on it, convinced that it will be key in these 11 games in which LaLiga is played with Barça: “The Belgian is like a motorcycle. He's training as if nothing happened to him. He is happy, he tries everything and it comes out. It will help us a lot for the assault on the League and for the return with City ”.
On Thursday, a video was posted on the club's television where these good predictions were corroborated. In the little party that Zidane arranged, he made a hat-trick, being two of the goals of very beautiful invoice. He looks fast, dynamic, unafraid to hit the ball hard and very hungry for the ball. Yesterday he repeated. Hazard has told his trusted people that he wants to demonstrate in these 11 remaining games that his transfer is more than justified and that Madrid made an effort with him precisely to be at the top in the moment of truth, in which the titles are decided. The confinement, despite the unfortunate cause that caused it, came as a pearl to the Belgian, given that when he went to surgery in Dallas, after being seriously injured in the Levante field, he gave up the season.
For Zidane there is no debate. Hazard and Benzema are untouchable at attack point, while there will be a handful of players (Vinicius, Asensio, Rodrygo, Lucas Vázquez, Bale …) who will compete for the other position of the attacking trident. The only doubt is whether Zizou prefers in the league debut against Eibar at Di Stéfano (day 14, 7:30 p.m.) to give him entry in the second part so that he can pick up pace and be a starter from the next game, more demanding , against Valencia also in Valdebebas (day 18, at 22:00). Hazard doesn't want to wait any longer. Aspire this to be your League. He has eleven exams ahead to fulfill his desire.
