"Incomprehensible, he came 7 kilos overweight" - Belgian legend claims Eden Hazard 'underestimated' Real Madrid after big-money move from Chelsea
Belgian legend Marc Degryse has blasted Real Madrid star Eden Hazard for his performances since joining the club. The winger has failed to impress since his big-money move from Chelsea back in 2019.
Degryse accused Hazard of underestimating how difficult it would be to play for Real Madrid. Speaking about the winger's arrival at the club, he told Belgian newspaper Het Laatste, as translated by Mundo Deportivo:
"Incomprehensible. I still don't understand it today. That he came to the first training with 7 kilos overweight. It doesn't matter if they were 5. How do you do that? Gain 5 kilos in three weeks! It's hard to understand that you start preparing like this."
He continued:
"Then he started training at the same pace as the other players, but that is not possible. First you have to get rid of those extra kilos. As a result, he immediately suffered a muscle injury. And then he rejoined without having laid the foundations of a good season. He seriously underestimated Real Madrid."
Hazard's Real Madrid tenure so far has been marred by injuries. The Belgian has failed to live up to the standard he set for himself at Chelsea, and has only made 40 appearances at Madrid so far.
The 30-year old winger is yet to find the back of the net for Real Madrid this season, in what has been an especially disappointing season for Hazard so far.
