The Belgian team won 3rd place at the 2018 World Cup thanks to the extremely high performance of Hazard as well as De Bruyne. After 4 years, the golden generation of the Belgian team is preparing to enter the final major tournament together. It is not surprising that Belgium is considered a candidate in this year's tournament.
For Hazard, after the 2018 World Cup, this striker has gone through many changes in his career. The player born in 1991 moved to Real Madrid with high expectations. But what this player did was a prolonged disappointment. hazard himself admitted that he was no longer at his peak as he was 4 years ago.
Sharing with L'Equipe, Hazard said: "To be honest, I can't keep the class of 2018. I didn't show much but I had to endure too much, both mentally and physically. I am not ashamed to say this.
In 2018, I was in the top 10 in the world. Can I return to that position? I think not. But if my body allows me, I can still do great things.
I still keep the technique but lose confidence. When I came to Real, I gained weight. After the Europa League final in 2019, I had a break. But after 2 or 3 weeks, I lost everything. Have I enjoyed my vacation too much? That is for sure.
