Eden Hazard, Real Madrid’s high-profile signing from Chelsea, has hit back at recent criticism regarding his fitness and work ethic, insisting he is in “good shape” and ready to prove his doubters wrong. The Belgian winger, who joined Los Blancos in a blockbuster deal potentially worth £130 million, has faced scrutiny over his form and physical condition since his move to Spain.
Hazard’s Rocky Start at Real Madrid
Hazard‘s transition to La Liga hasn’t been seamless. With just one goal in 11 appearances across the league and Champions League, questions have been raised about whether he can replicate his Chelsea heroics at the Bernabeu. However, recent performances suggest a resurgence—three assists in his last four matches indicate he’s finding his rhythm.
Former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger added fuel to the fire by stating Hazard looked “too heavy” earlier this season. Meanwhile, ex-Chelsea teammate John Obi Mikel labeled him the “laziest player I’ve played with.” Yet, Hazard remains unfazed.
“I’m Fully Fit and Ready” – Hazard’s Firm Response
Speaking exclusively to Crickex, Hazard dismissed the criticism, emphasizing his current fitness levels:
“For the last month, I’ve been in good condition with no injuries. When I’m on the pitch, I always try to do my best—whether it’s with Real Madrid or Belgium. I just want to keep this momentum going.”
His determination is evident, and with Belgium already securing their Euro 2024 qualification, Hazard sees their upcoming match against Cyprus as a chance to celebrate with fans.
A Legacy of Success
Before his Madrid move, Hazard was a Chelsea legend—scoring 110 goals in 352 appearances, winning two Premier League titles, two Europa Leagues, and domestic cups. His influence at Stamford Bridge was undeniable, and while his Madrid chapter has started slowly, history suggests he can turn things around.
Belgium’s all-time third-highest scorer (32 goals in 105 caps) remains a key figure for his national team. With Euro 2024 on the horizon, Hazard’s form will be crucial for the Red Devils’ ambitions.
What’s Next for Hazard?
As Real Madrid push for La Liga and Champions League glory, Hazard’s role will be pivotal. His ability to adapt to Zinedine Zidane’s system and silence critics will define his legacy in Spain. For now, the message is clear—Eden Hazard is far from finished.
