La Tribune resumed on Monday and one of the themes of the show was Eden Hazard. Philippe Albert and Marc Wilmots have given their opinion on the Real Madrid player’s situation. And it’s worrying a few weeks before the World Cup.
“I am panicking regarding Eden Hazardcar Robert Martinez had a clear message, he will take players at the World Cup who are on the pace, who have playing time. Eden, it will be more than three years since he has not played“, said directly Phillip Albert on the situation of Eden Hazard.
If our consultant is worried regarding the status of the Real Madrid player, Marc Wilmotsguest of the day is more nuanced:
“We talk too fast. It’s September 5 and they’re still going to play 25 games until the World Cup. There may be injuries and things that will happen. Maybe Hazard will play all 10 last matches before the World Cup and that he will be fresh and on the pace. If you see his face on the bench, you can see that Eden is still concerned. He had injuries and now he’s better, but the pace is important.”
To which Philippe replied to close the debate on Eden and his concern: “He is an exceptional player who has had an exceptional career. He started at 16, we must not forget that. He has been playing for more than 15 years, he has taken career blows and here it has been three years without playing, there are things that are no longer present with him. At the level of the hierarchy, he passes behind the three other attackers of Real Madrid.“
