Hazard is no longer the same as before. The decline of the midfielder born in 1991 is one reason why the Belgian team did not have impressive performances at this World Cup.
Worse, he and his teammates Kevin De Bruyne and Jan Vertonghen had a conflict. All three were fiercely controversial and almost in a fight after the recent 0-2 defeat to Morocco.
However, when asked about this by the media at the press conference before the match against Croatia, the star playing for Real Madrid said: "I really don't have much to share. What I read from the media was very silly.
In fact, the Belgian team only had an internal meeting yesterday. We discussed many issues. Especially we talk about the match against Croatia, the match we need to win. The Belgian team has two days to prepare. Striving to win is the most important thing.
I spoke to Kevin and he confirmed that he still has more faith in the whole team than ever. Sometimes at press conferences, you often make jokes. Sometimes that's not your real answer. I think he was referring to us being different from 4 years ago. Its true that were getting old.
