Mustafa 885 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 This is delightful news. Unless he starts, it would be perfect ! Cuz if he starts he'll probably end up playing at least 45 minutes. Coming off the bench tho, he'd probably get 30 mins or so. Also another aspect of this friendly that is somewhat "clutch" is that he's only going to Belgium. No long trips like the Brazilians who went to South Africa. We need him all fired up for Spurs on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 89 minutes then ? Jokes aside though, hope Hazard plays as little minutes as possible. We do not want somebody like Yaya Toure, assuming if he's playing, to go around and kicking the lumps out of him. Similar with Mata in the last 2 seasons, we can't afford to have Hazard getting injured in any way at this point of the season. He's our main man right now.

I think he'll play 45 minutes. Our NT manager said he wouldn't risk Hazard and acknowlegded Hazard was tired. Hope he comes back unharmed.Like you said he's our main man now and we're gonna need him in top form.

LAB 1,030 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 After the game in Istanbul last week...How lovable would it be if these two were playing together for Chelsea? Imagine Hazard assisting Drogba and the celebrations that they'd make. It would be amazing!Oh well, there's always PES...

mediator 2,026 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Much respect between them, Didier said he is really happy that eden plays for Chelsea. "It's important for his career and his evolution. U Know you've got all the keys in your hands, all the lights are green, it's up to you" exactly like Eto'o said. They know each others when Didier came back from China to train with us.That was like a mental coaching from himThey will play against each others tomorrow in a friendly (belgium vs ivory coast) and Didier said "i want your shirt @ the end of the game" Bir_CFC, Barbara and sutro 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Hkibou 622 Posted March 4, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted March 4, 2014 Anyone able to translate the parts where Eden and Drogs are together? Just roughlyTo DD : Playing againt Chelsea was a particular moment, Eden Hazard is a good successor ?DD : Yes it was a particular match, but in Champion's League only the results matter. I think they took advantage of our mistakes in first half. We reacted in second half, and we were able to get them into trouble.Eden said that he was confident that at the Bridges it will something elseOf course it will be difficult, they are better, more experienced than us. They will have to control the game, the maetro here will have to keep a strong hand on the match... We'll go there and try to maintain the dream.You knew it'd be a special match here, I reckon it'll be even more at Chelsea...Yes, but wait till we're there... (Clearly he doesn't want to talk the subject further)(the journalist insists) It will make you feel a pang ? We'll see there, we'll see there...Eden interrupts, probably seeing Drogba doesn't want to elaborate : I will pinch you if you want ! (pun with the word pang which is said a pinch at the heart in french)DD : True ?Eden : For you manDD : He said it all. I don't need to talk now.(laughters)1-1, everything's still possible, are you more confident for Chelsea than Galatasaray, Eden ?Eden : As I said we'll be at home so we have no choice but be serious and throw a big match, as I said also we have other critical confrontations until the reception of Gala. We have to be serious at every game.You're the maestro as Didier said... But it's Didier who left quite a mark at Chelsea, no ?Eden ; Yes every day it's Didier, Didier, Didier, Didier... we hear it so...DD : He's fed up ! Leave him be...Eden, regaining seriousness : No but it's a pleasure to play against such players, it's a pleasure to play in a club who has grown such players... I think i was too late, I'd have liked to play with him. He also i think would have liked to play with me, but this shan't be said... (laughters)DD : I' happy he is in this club, i think it was the right choice for his development, for his career. No has all the cards in his hands.You will play against each other also for you national teams, for a friendly match...DD : Yes, btw Eden you keep your shirt so we can exchange...End of the interview. Sounds very weird when you put it on paper. haranr, TacticalBlues, Ainsley Harriott and 23 others 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchekitchek 37 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I don't know whether Hazard should be played more centrally, I think it depends on the kind of opposition we would be facing. What I do know though is that he clearly struggles to adapt his game when he's being heavily marked....of course the lack of movement around him from his teammates doesn't help, but Eden is the team's biggest attacking threat and Jose needs to figure out a way that makes it easier for him to get on the ball in positions where he can better influence the game. In recent games he's been looking a bit too isolated on the left wing.I remember when he was still playing for Lille years ago, Arsene Wenger was the commentator of a match and he said he was sure that Hazard will end up playing centrally when he'll be the finished article. Obviously he is much more influencial there. remains of the day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
