Eden Hazard left the World Cup in Qatar through the back door. The Belgian from Real Madrid had high hopes of reviving the World Cup, to find a good match and the sensations he had been missing for years
With this idea, he went to Qatar, where he gained the support and confidence of Roberto Martinez, the former Belgian coach, but the truth is that the Hazard seen in the World Cup is the same as that of Real Madrid. He is far from being the star who came to the Bernabeu from Chelsea
Hazard played the three matches Belgium played in Qatar, but his contribution was minimal. He started in the first and second half and against Croatia. His presence was testament and he entered in the 87th minute against Croatia. In those three matches, Hazard only had one shot on goal. A sample of how the Belgian is now
Now, Hazard will return to Madrid and nothing seems to change the situation ahead of the World Cup. Ancelotti chose to be a substitute for Benzema, but they advanced him at all levels, as the Belgian was a key player on the bench
It does not appear that Hazard’s future, who turns 32 on January 7, will be at Real Madrid. He has a contract with the white club until 2024 and his idea was to terminate it, but at the moment, Real Madrid opened the doors wide for him to leave, even in January, and the player was thinking of looking for new challenges in the summer
