Pundit perplexed by superstar Eden Hazard of Real Madrid’s subpar performance for Belgium at the 2022 FIFA World Cup
Unquestionably, Hazard is among the finest players to have ever represented Belgium. The Real Madrid superstar, though, fell well short of the lofty goals he had set for himself for the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Ray Parlour, a former midfielder for Arsenal, expressed his confusion at Hazard’s performances and claimed that the superstar’s startling downturn was due to a lack of effort. He recently said on TALK SPORT (via The Boot Room):
“What’s going on with Hazard? What has happened to him is unknown to me. It’s intriguing that Jose Mourinho, who was present here, claimed that Eden Hazard was capable of becoming among the greatest in the world. But he didn’t put in the same amount of effort, work pace, or training every day. If he had, he may have been among the finest.
