Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 It was widely publicised in mainstream media too right? Think I've read it somewhere...Yeah Wilmots said that with a camera on him while being interviewed so there should be some footage of it. hjperdeath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnythefirst 1,076 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 YupThat same newspaper wrote negative articles about Wilmots when he was manager and when confrontedby it Wilmots said that it was because he didn't want to give any inside information like George Leekens did to them.Which paper would that be btw?

Popular Post! Mufassir08 2,400 Posted February 9, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted February 9, 2014 A lot of his caps are from a young age and from sub ins. Also Belgium had a really poor team in the beginning when Hazard made his debut so there wasn't much support.When we finally did have a proper team George Leekens was our manager. Just to give you an idea of how it was for Hazard.There was this game vs Austria it ended 4-4. We were 4-3 up in extra time. Goalkeeper throws to Hazard who's on the halfway line. Apart from our striker our entire team was behind the ball. Hazard tries to go past the fullback. fullback takes the ball, passes to midfielder, midfielder puts a throughball in to the winger,Winger slides it between our goalie's legs. 4-4.Leekens afterwards in the Pressconference put the blame on Hazard (19-20 y old at the time) after that he was benched and put in the stands. When he finally did get his shot again. He was told not to dribble but just pass the ball.Hazard did but when he saw that he was about to be subbed (60th minute) he dribbled past 3 players and his shot went inches wide of the goal. Got subbed after that, didn't shake hands with the manager and just went straight to the dressing room.That's also when the hamburger "incident" happened. You have to wonder how many more talents Leekens would have destroyed had he stayed on as a manager.I just cant understand how someone could not give Hazard the permission to dribble?Thats literally a football crime!

Played in those positions at the youth levels of both Man Utd and Anderlecht. Even had a stint as a striker at Man Utd. It's just that Young was the left winger at Man Utd. Not as big a challenge taking that spot as it is from Rooney behind the striker is it? Eggman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Sorry but if Wilmots accepts to play Januazaj ahead of Eden on Lw, he is idiot. Im sure he wont do that though. With this form Hazard will rock the WC. It will be interesting how they perform in brazil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! bababoom 4,478 Posted February 9, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted February 9, 2014 Have to hand it to Mourinho, he naively got slated for 'ruining' Joe Cole because he made him work harder for the team, thus making him a better player, yet many people over here (in England) say Jose ruined him... give me a break.Hazard always had the talent, no doubt, but i think Mourinho is challenging him to be the best player he can be. I think Hazard respects Mourinho and is willing to do anything for him on the pitch. Can you imagine the likes of RDM or Rafa getting these types of performances out of Hazard on a consistent basis? i cant.Last season i mentioned it so many times, i was frustrated with him. He often drifted out of matches and never really turned up against the big teams, i'm so happy that he's finally fulfilling his potential, now he knows he's our main player, Mourinho has drilled that into him. He knows he cannot afford drift out of games. Next season he's going to be even more deadly. Now judging by his interviews he wants to score more goals and make more assists, does that sound like the old Hazard? this season he seems much more determined to be one of the best players in the world. I honestly think he can do it. Barbara, kellzfresh, francozola and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roquila 1,335 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 That would mean KDB is in trouble. Also, I still think Januzaj is just going to wait until Kosovo can officially compete.As much as i would love Januzaj to play for us i would like to see him play for Belgium. We aren't going to compete in a WC for atleast another 16 years, we just got permission to play NT friendly games. And even if we had permission with whom would Januzaj play?Cana plays for Albania. Shaqiri,Xhaka,Behrami,Dzemajli play for swiss and a couple of other players play for other Countries. Hell, 80% of the Albanian NT team is from Kosovo.On topic: Could somebody find me the full video of Hazards interview on BBC? Coop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
