Last night, Eden Hazard was given a rare opportunity to start in the framework of Round 32 of the King’s Cup team. However, even facing Cacereno – a club playing in the fourth division, the Belgian talent still disappoints miserably. In about 70 minutes on the field, the former Chelsea star did not have any shots, dribbles or crosses before Cacereno.
Speaking after the game, Carmelo Mereciano – the main player on Cacereno’s side, did not hesitate to criticize Hazard’s poor performance. Talking to Diario AS, Mereciano shared (quoted by Onefootball):
Hazard dropped without brakes.
“Hazard? Looks like he doesn’t care about this match. Hazard doesn’t want to receive the ball, he doesn’t run. We didn’t pay any attention to Hazard at all.”
As for coach Carlo Ancelotti, the Italian strategist did not criticize Hazard in his post-match press conference. Instead, he said that Cacereno’s pitch was too bad and had a great influence on Real Madrid players. It should be known that this is the third time Hazard has started for Real in all competitions this season.
