Mercato Mercato – Eden Hazard: “If Real Madrid asks me to leave this summer, I have to accept it”

Six matches, 229 minutes and not much more. In line with his last seasons, Eden Hazard still can’t come back to Real Madrid during this 2022-2023 exercise. Soon to be 32 years old (he will celebrate them in January), the Belgian international is therefore trying to find a smile with his selection, which he hopes to take far during the World Cup in Qatar, which begins on Sunday. But he also took the opportunity to take stock of his Madrid adventure in an interview with Brand.

It’s very difficult to talk when you’re not playing. I prefer to play and then talk“, he declared in the preamble, confident that football is “it is known“and that him”just want to play“. “If I can help, great, but right now I can’t. I will try to give my all. Three and a half years ago, I did not imagine it would happen like this (…) I am a player who has not played many matches in three years. I can understand it. I have to show when I play, whether it’s 5, 10 or 15 minutes, I want to play and when I do it, I have to do it well“, he acknowledged, thus understanding the doubts around him.

Regrets, Hazard does not have so many. “I don’t play but being a Real Madrid player was my childhood dream and after this year I have another season on my contract. I want to play for this club, with this jersey“, said the former Chelsea player. However, he is well aware that his story with Madrid is probably over. His departure even seems inevitable. In January? “Impossible“so he says. So rather next summer.”If the club tells me ‘Eden, thank you for four years, but you have to go’, I have to accept it because it’s normal. But I would like to play more, show more that I can play, that I am a good player“, he regretted. A return to Chelsea? “They never called or showed interest in a comeback.”

Finally, the Belgian said to himself “sorry‘Towards the Madrid fans who have never seen him at his level:’The fans who will never see my best version despite the price of my transfer? Sorry. I’m trying, but… Sorry. I’m one year old and I have to prove, but it’s not easy: I don’t play, I want to play more… I’m really sorry, I’m sorry.”
