Since I'm having a bout of insomnia I might as well make some of you happy with a translated extract from an interview Hazard did yesterday with the Belgian press:

Eden Hazard finally has to step up

Hopes to (finally) continue his great form at Chelsea to the national team

If Eden Hazard opens his box of tricks from Chelsea tomorrow the Red Devils are set for victory. The 22-year old winger is in great form and wants to demonstrate this against Macedonia.

Bad luck for Dries Mertens. With the way Eden Hazard is playing at the moment, it's unthinkable he wouldn't feature in the plans of Marc Wilmots. Until 2 months ago there were whispers that Eden Hazard didn't warrant the £32m price tag. Today he has regained his status as feature world class player. The praising words from Chelsea-icon Lampard even make Hazard blush.

"Lampard is a legend, not only at Chelsea. If such people give you compliments it gives the urge to even step up more. It is going well. I've watched our last game against West Ham and I was really in shock. The interplay with Mata was impressive. But I'm not that surprised it's going well at the moment. I know what I'm capable off and I also realize that I can't be on the top of my game 60 matches in a row."

Those who saw him train at the Heizel (our national stadium), with his beenie high on the top of his head, know that every form of pressure eludes Hazard. His good spirits and shining face don't indicate that there's a crucial qualifying game tomorrow.

Although Hazard states: 'Winning the next 2 games could be an incisive moment in the qualifying. Especially because Croatia is facing Serbia. My teammate Ivanovic has promised me a present. He'll beat Croatia. I certainly hope so. A 4 on 6 against Macedonia perhaps isn't that bad, but we'd be disappointed.'

BALLBOY

Hazard has 12 goals and 21 assists in 50 games in all competitions for his club. With the Red Devils he has... 1 assist in the last 5 games. 'There is no explanation why it with Chelsea would and the national team wouldn't work. I've got to bring the same here as at Chelsea.'

Hazard resurfaced at Chelsea after being suspended for 3 games cause of the infamous incident with the ballboy.

'That was a good lesson. The fuss which that incident caused was crazy. For nothing. Well, I do understand it from certain points of view. Looking at the video of the incident you could conclude I did give the boy a kick. I was only trying to recover the ball and suddenly I was public enemy number one. (laughs) The next time I'll leave the ball for someone else. I'll just wait.

Although he did get plenty of support inside his club, it seems Hazard was left a bit isolated outside of it. 'You guys know my English still isn't that great. In the summer preparation there were plenty of French-speaking and Belgian players in the squad. But once the season started they all went and I was left all alone. Since the arrival of Demba Ba I can talk a bit again in the dressing room.

No talks with Terry or Lampard

Now the sparks are again flying of his boots, it seems like the 34-time capped Red Devil is also accepted by players like Terry and Lampard, the strong personalities in the dressing room of the blues.

'As a new player it's always like this. If you arrive somewhere with a £32m price tag then there is only one expectation. Helping the team to victories. If I'm not doing that, then it's normal when I'm being criticized.'

'But that has never been the case internally. Admittingly, we don't talk much because of my lousy English. But I've always been treated well. Even when we were playing bad there hasn't been anyone that gave my a scowling. Unless I didn't understand them when they did. (laughs)'

What has been the case is Marc Wilmots indicating that Hazard wasn't on top of his defensive duties after the break in the last game against Slovakia. 'The coach isn't pleased often. (laughs) It's correct. We're talking about the issue. Ofcourse I've got to contribute with my defensive duties but attackers have to attack and defenders defend. I'm at the front to score and assist goals. If I don't than that's also being hold against me.'

Just so if you're starring weekly in the Premier League.

Don't take anything to literally. My zombie-state at the moment prevents me delivering an accurate word for word translation in proper English. I'm certain that other Belgian posters who rise fresh in the morning will point out the mistakes. And since this was tranlated from French to Dutch to English there will be plenty..

Translation couldn't be any better. Thanks!

[Jase 43,479]

1. Of the 12 goals Eden Hazard has scored for Chelsea in all comps this season, 6 have have come via the right foot, 5 via left foot & 1 via head.

2. Five of the last 7 goals Eden Hazard scored for Chelsea in all competitions have been a left-footed strike goal.

[DH1988 1,193]

Thanks for that bud!

[TrippingStep 336]

Yes, there are mods on this forum. I don't see what Juko has done wrong. The only fool I can see is you, for saying he should be banned. Leave those decisions to the people with the shiny gold and blue badges under their avatars.

[Heisenberg 1,824]

Wink : +1 Charisma.

Was Mata.

[Hkibou 622]

Pastore is indeed very poor, capable of classy plays during some games but extremely inconsistent, and nonchalant in the pitch which makes him very frustrating to watch for PSG fans.
Doesn't stand the comparison with Lavezzi for instance, who gives everything he has in him at each game.
