They were not physical, they were aggressive, almost violent. Cavani, Verratti etc... kicking the legs of Hazard at every opportunity and not being punished enough for this. The problem is Hazard enjoys a reputation in France almost bigger than in England; and Blanc who is an admirer of Hazard knows that it's better to foul Hazard and play ugly than letting him play. Yes, there are too many lightweight... I mean Ramires, Oscar and Fabregas are great players, but they get pushed around too much and Costa is too slow and Matic is not enough.
