Hazard sets to take off at Real Madrid

It is said that the third time’s the charm, and Eden Hazard will be hoping that proves true in his quest to show Real Madrid his true talent in his third campaign.

In his first year in the 2019/20 season, he picked up an ankle injury, which has been a source of bitterness for him ever since, and which has barely allowed him to make 66 appearances in three seasons.

He vowed, during the team’s Champions League celebrations, that he would finally prove his quality in the coming season and, the failed move of Kylian Mbappe gives him more of a chance to do so.

Much loved in the dressing room

Despite his lack of prominence on the pitch, Hazard is one of the most beloved players in the dressing room for his involvement in the team’s dynamics.

He has not been able to perform on the field, but he has done so in what they call the intangibles: his ability to be a team player, guide the young players and understand Carlo Ancelotti‘s decisions, even if they have not favoured him.

The Belgian is making the most of his last days of rest, taking extreme care of his physical condition, a factor that has cost him at the start of his first two seasons in Madrid.

This Sunday he was seen with Toni Nadal at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Athens, in apparent good condition.
