Mourinho points out to Hazard: “If I were a top professional …”

Jose Mourinho He did not cut himself when explaining what happens to Eden Hazard. Did it on the show Belfast from talkSPORT in his new role as a sports analyst before taking the reins of Roma. “The truth about Hazard is what you see of him. He is an incredible player with terrible training. Imagine what it could be like with a super professional attitude in training“Mourinho threw a hard dart at Hazard. The Portuguese managed Eden Hazard in 125 games, in which he scored 36 goals. Only with Rudi García Hazard did he perform better. That is why Portuguese is the authorized voice to speak of the Real Madrid footballer, a player he knows very well.

“In the end, Hazard is an amazing kid, He is an incredible family man, it seems that he does not belong to this generation of players, he is very quiet and totally focused on family, children, parents, in a very quiet life. But he goes into the field every morning and … he doesn't work much. When he takes to the field you don't see the reflection of a week's work, you only see a reflection of his talent, if he were a top professional … “, continued the next Roma coach.

Hazard, who played his first few minutes in the Euro Cup against Denmark, has only scored 5 goals in 43 games with the Real Madrid shirt. Mourinho revealed what he thought when the white team signed the Belgian from Chelsea: “When he went to Real Madrid I thought: 'Wow, this boy is going to the biggest club in the world and he's going to feel enormous pressure to always be on top, this boy is going to win the Ballon d'Or, because he's incredible. But in terms of his fitness, his speed, his condition, he would be a much better player (if he trained properly). What you see is just the talent that got Eden to where she is. He has had more injuries at Real Madrid than in the entire time he was with me at Chelsea. He had one but it was nothing major. But in Madrid he entered this negative dynamic with his injuries and that probably affected him “.

The Euro with Belgium, your lifeline

Still Mourinho believes that we will see the best version of Hazard with Belgium. “Now he is back with Belgium, on a great stage. He has a good relationship with Roberto Martínez, but now he is a substitute. He will be ready to go out on the pitch and buy time, so I think Belgium will finish the Euro with Hazard as a starter and probably at the top of his game. “
