Eden Hazard

[didierforever 7,349]

He actually noted that he prepared harder/ trained morentensive this time round ....

Maybe its the outfits , i don't know.

As for the ass. It was always a big booty.

i dont know. i mean even his face looks chubbier. was comparing his face while taking the penalty today to the photo in your avatar. u can see the difference.

his booty IS big but IVA'S is better.

i seriously dont care how he has played in the friendlies but what bothers me is that he is looking a little chubby/flabby.

Honestly, he always seems a little "chubby", thats just how he looks, its the same as last season IMO.

As long as he plays good its fine.

Actually I think he might have grown some more muscle rather than fat. He was great at using strenght and balance to keep or steal the ball, he seemed to have improved on that aspect. Hope he doesn't sacrifice too much speed for that though.

He was always good in strength and balance, something that surprised me last season seeing how "un-physical" he looks.

One Czech TV channel repeatedly claims that Hazard comes from France. Christ.

If only our Belgians members, so proud of Eden, heard the TV. I can imagine the number of complaints

I haven't watched the game, was he that bad? Goal.com says he did good...

In the first 15 minutes everything he tried failed, but after that he grew into the game and played fairly well.

I don't think Hazard is chubby or fat. He's just very muscular for his size.

Hazard isn't a preseason player. With his relax attitude he's at his best when playing games under pressure.

Good example of this was the 7 or 8 flicks,backheels in the frist 15 minutes with only 2 or 3 coming off. XD

I think in games where there's no real pressure his creative side seems to get the better of him.

In a PL game he would never try this many flicks and backheels.

Couple of things i've noticed watching preseason.

He's still not 100% sharp. good example of this was when he had the ball perfectly in front of his left foot to take the shot but tried to cut inside again after already fooling the defender.

His tracking back has improved. multiple examples of this in the preseason games. Although one thing i've noticed is that when the oppositions right back overlaps his winger and our left back pushes up and sticks with the winger Hazard doesn't always stick with the right back. He sometimes gives him a couple of yards headstart which could be dangerous if exploited. Something to work on.

He's been making a lot more runs in behind the defense then he did last season. example that diagonal run in the second half against Inter.

How strong is this guy with his back towards the goal. Many times the Inter defender was just running into Hazard's back over and over again and Hazard was just keeping his balance and holding the defender off, shielding the ball.

He did end up losing the ball most of the time when doing this but that was because he held onto the ball for too long and a second or third Inter player would then corner him and disposes him. (would credit this due too lack of sharpness)

Still though he's a freaking beast when holding up the ball.

Edit: Also loved the Hazard-Mata connection. It's awesome.

He just failed to do his usual "run at defenders with no problem" thing.. seemed like he wasn't really trying too hard, but that was just for the start of the game, later on he gave some good passes but haven't done as much as he usually does.

So not a terrible game but certainly not a good one.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

He was constantly trying to take the piss out of Inter's defenders and failed more often than not. Poor game by his lofty standards.

Lol..

That's funny thing to get worked up on..People change appearance over time..especially the face (take a look at Lampard then and now for instance)

It doesn't mean fitness is lacking.

To me it also seemed like he was scared of the pitch like he was taking every step cautiously. The pitch was scaring me so maybe I'm just seeing things but it did seem like he never tried to go full out.
