Eden Hazard

[bluesman2610 1,361]

Yes because playing with your son for a literally a minute during John Terry address to the fans warrants calling the man an idiot. I swear had we won the league and he was PFA again this would be a non issue..

Couldn't he just stand and listen like every other player? It was an important announcement, Hazard could have shown some respect by listening to him.

For all we know, some of the players probably weren't even listening despite standing there.

Dear Eden Hazard: a letter to the fallen Chelsea FC star

Quote

Dear Eden Hazard,

This year you have broken my heart. I remember the day where out of nowhere I read on my phone “Chelsea FC sign Eden Hazard” and I couldn’t have been happier. Since then as a Chelsea supporter I have believed in you for every single second of every single match that you have played for our beloved football club.

Even when people lost their faith this year and were upset, I said, “no, Hazard is great, he will be great”. I stand by that today and always will.

Now we have to acknowledge some things before we progress. Making comments about other football clubs is definitely not a smart move. It’s similar to being out to dinner with you wife or girlfriend. You do not want to say, “well that women certainly would be fun to have dinner with”. That’s an excellent way to earn yourself a cocktail shower. Especially when neither one of those football clubs is a better place to play than ours.

I truly believe that when you play for Chelsea football club you’re a member of perhaps not the biggest football club in the world, but absolutely the best one and this is why you should stay.

1. Chelsea FC

“We’re not the biggest but we are the best”. I say that all the time when I’m trying to explain to people why I am a Chelsea supporter. I remember my first football match. It was 15 years ago and it was against Southampton at The Bridge, and we lost.

I remember holding my Dad’s hand as we left the ground and not a single supporter was mad at our guys, because that’s what you are when you play for Chelsea FC, you are one of our guys. Yes, while other clubs might be bigger, there are none who are better and care more for their own players.

The two clubs that are regularly bandied about as potential destinations are Real Madrid and PSG. We are better than both of them without a doubt. At Real Madrid, and I’ll preface this by saying with all due respect, they treat their players like replaceable puzzle pieces, not human beings.

When they don’t see what they want they boo and harass them. Gareth Bale’s car was attacked by his own supporters even though he has scored 20 goals and has 11 assists this year. PSG, meanwhile, seems like a decent club to play for. Paris is indeed a great city, but Ligue 1 is not exactly a great league to play in is it?

You can be a Ballon D’Or winner, Eden. I even believe a multiple time winner. But you won’t do it playing for PSG. Since 1995 (George Weah) no Ballon D’Or winner has played for a French club. It would be a step back for you, that is of course if you think you are at that level.

2. The Premier League

It’s simply the best competition in the world. Leicester City won it this year! That would never happen in another league.

Certainly not in the year-long Bayern Munich crowning ceremony that is the Bundesliga. Absolutely not in Spain either. Atletico Madrid should be celebrated, but the fact that they are the 15th biggest club in the world (according to Forbes) means that the idea they are competitive is not absurd. Then in France PSG won the league so early that I actually almost forgot to include them.

This coming Premier League season will see the best collection of managers, players and drama that any sport anywhere in the world allows us to observe. Antonio Conte (the best of the bunch – I’ll explain that to you another time if you’d like), Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho or Louis Van Gaal (depending on Ed Woodward’s whims), Arsene Wenger, Mauricio Pochettino, Slaven Bilic and the man who deserves more credit than any other, Claudio Ranieri, will all be managing sides in it.

3. London

Dr. Samuel Johnson, one of the most important literary characters in the English language, is quoted as saying “when a man is tired of London he is tired of life”. That is true.

London is a magnificent city and one of the most important in the world. It is such a diverse place that over 200 different languages are spoken on the streets of the capital every single day. The metro area of London has approximately 14 million people in it and it has more open park space than almost any other city in the world. With his young kids, there are few better places for Hazard to be.

4. Hero status

Staying at Stamford Bridge for a number more years (or until you retire) would likely lead to you becoming a hero to all of those who support the royal blue of Chelsea FC. Of course, respective fans would like you at other clubs, you are a top talent, but we are talking about pure unadulterated love here. Hearts and minds man, not just “eh he’s good” and to be loved, isn’t that what everybody wants?

At Chelsea FC you wear the number 10 and deserve through to the end of your career. Any other place would simply feel inferior to Chelsea FC. The first Blues hero I ever had was Gianfranco Zola and he perhaps put it best: “I gave Chelsea supporters what they wanted, a dream, and they gave me what I was dreaming of too”.

With all this said, Eden you should stay at Chelsea. This year has been truly miserable for all involved and I acknowledge that, but if you choose to climb back to the mountaintop with us we will forever be behind you.

I sense that we have been tested by this season and are truly on the verge of something great. Need I remind you, “the greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it” (Moliere). Stay at Stamford Bridge, Eden, and let’s be great together because we can be.

Sincerely,

Barrett Rouen

The Pride of London

What a desperate way to gain clicks for his page...

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

What a load of bullshit that is. Wouldn't Chelsea's third keeper have won as many awards as Hazard as well? Is he saying we should play with 11 reserves? 

[Special Juan 27,512]

Yet if you would could ask Wright about his time at City I bet he would at some point in the chat he would drop in how disappointed he was at not playing enough. Footballers want to play, they don't want to be benched, any footballer says different then they are in the wrong job.

If he played no games he didn't win anything. He was at the club when other players won trophies.

I hope Dembele gets to be a starter actually. Tottenham or not, the guy had a very good season.

Belgium expect Eden Hazard to lead with his feet at Euro 2016

Quote

By all accounts and appearances, Eden Hazard is one of the more easy-going football players around, especially among those at (or near) the top levels of the game.  On and off the pitch, his carefree attitude makes him a great teammate and a fan favorite, but perhaps it doesn't readily suit ambitions such as becoming the best in the world.  Naming him captain, as Belgium have done, perhaps isn't exactly an obvious move either — it's only unsurprising because it's not the first time — but there's a method to the madness.

"I have several leaders. In terms of the captain's armband, I think there are people who do it in different ways than I did. But Eden is Eden... You become a leader with your feet.""For me a leader is someone that when the team needs a player to put his foot on the ball, he succeeds in bringing the team with him.... in order to gain some time and to have personality on the pitch.""Outside, he doesn't need a lot. He needs to retain his personality but in his game he's going to become much more of a leader. Just like Kevin De Bruyne and everyone else."

Hazard certainly led with his feet last season, when Chelsea sauntered to the Premier League title.  This season's sauntering wasn't nearly as successful, but Hazard did show signs of life towards the end.  Everyone's hoping he'll carry that into the Euros next month and into next season in August.

"Eden is still only 25. Look at everything he's already done. I think it's not bad already - whether it's in France or in England. I feel a huge desire in him for the Euros. It shouldn't be too big a desire -- you shouldn't force things. He needs to remain natural. He's someone who's very relaxed. He's an excellent footballer. And all he wants to do is bring joy to his country and to enjoy himself with the national team.""That's what I'm expecting. He doesn't need to be a captain who's going to shout. I spoke about it today -- 'let your feet do the talking.' It's better than any speech."-Marc Wilmots; source: DH via ESPN

Witsel will start, next to naingolan.

I would love to see those 2 together naingolan and dembele.

A good thing Kevin is the 3th midfielder, in the past years wilmots would put fellaini on the 10 position.

That's probably the only nasty thing he ever did in his career. You guys play Costa.

He did more nasty things in that game alone!

Costa has never eye gouged anyone, which is extremely dangerous when it comes to eye health and hygiene. Sure he tossed snot, been in someones face (who usually returns the favor) and more. Comparing his antics that don't really hurt anyone (maybe Gabriel lol) to doing something, that can limit your eyesight for life, is lunacy!

You mean like what he did vs Skrtel and Koscielny .. you can't give excuse for Costa because he's one of us then condemn Dembele for doing something similar. That is very hypocritical

He pushed Koscielny and accidentally stamped on Skrtel, both went on to carry on with the game without complaint. I'm not sure you realize the dangers of gouging ones eye in an aggressive fashion.
