The Real Madrid midfielder has launched a scathing criticism of his former team-mate after he couldn’t show his abilities due to a series of injuries.
Eden Hazard’s arrival at Real Madrid in June 2019 was one of the most significant signings to bolster Los Blancos’ squad, not least for all he showed wearing the Chelsea shirt.
However, this all fell apart over the weeks due to a series of injuries which prevented him from continuing in the team . Despite this, his former team-mate Toni Kroos believes the Belgian missed his chance.
This is how he let it be seen in an interview published on his brother Félix’s podcast as part of the arrival of Jude Bellingham as reinforcements for the next season.
“We also had someone who came in for a lot of money and more or less let their career die. A lot of money was also moved around and I think everyone would say in retrospect that wasn’t a good signing. “, he launched in reference to Hazard.
He then added that the situation has been difficult for a long time, but in the end, everyone is to some extent responsible for their own situation. That’s why I think pity is misplaced. I know Eden very well, but I only sympathize with people who are in very bad situations and he is not one of them. “, he explained.
On the other hand, regarding Bellingham’s millionaire and extensive signing, he commented that “He is a high-level player that many teams were looking for because of the mix between quality and age that he brings together. “, hire.
He also added that “I saw some highlights from Dortmund, especially in the Champions League. He was playing very, very well,” he praised.
In turn, he showed his confidence in the management of the workforce of the Spanish capital. “I tend to have great confidence in our managers. If Real Madrid invest so much, I hope it will be a very good signing for us. If he does as well as in Dortmund, we can say that he is a good addition. otherwise no ”.
Finally, he spoke of farewell to Karim Benzema who will continue his career in Saudi Arabia. “There are a lot of circumstances that contribute to a decision. What he brought to the club and the important goals he scored are there. What he accomplished last year was just the icing on the cake. There are few strikers in the last 15 years who have handled the ball like him, who haven’t just scored goals. It was a great pleasure to play with Karim ”.
Thinking of Kroos and Modric
During the presentation of Bellingham as a reinforcement for Real Madrid, the Englishman raised the possibility of sharing the midfield with Kroos and Luka Modric. “For me it is an invaluable experience. Their experience is amazing and I will try to stick with them for the first few weeks, hope they don’t mind. We have a good mix of experience and youth “, a point.
He also said he had already spoken with coach Carlo Ancelotti. “He’s an incredible coach. I’m glad he wants me in his team.”
Finally, he opened up the possibility of playing with Kylian Mbappé if possible. “As I said with Harry Kane, they’re both amazing players, but I’ve only seen what’s being said on the internet or Twitter. I would love to play with him of course ”.
