most of Hazard's former Chelsea teammates said he was one of the most laid-back, unserious people in Training. But when it was game time, no one was better on the pitch than him
@@PorgasDAce182No, other really talented players can do it, just no as well or as long as Messi has done it. Hazard showed those capabilities in his younger days
I don`t think he "relaxed". People think that if football players don`t play they don`t do work but that`s not true. You still have to -follow a training program -follow a diet -train with the squad every day -travel with the squad to all the matches and events - do all the personal or club commercial stuff etc and this is on top of just being bombarded by everybody for being a failure.
Ronaldinho burned bright for a few years and then faded early, too. Arguably, Hazard produced for longer. Ronaldinho's talent was a different level, though. Magical. Absolute joy to watch.
Dribblers are prone to injury and he could no longer dribble like he used to after that. Even ronaldo no longer dribble as much after injury and after ancelotti switched his role into a striker. Yet he's lethal on the air, penalties, n off the ball positioning.
He was basically saying for all of his career he was treated as the core of the team, he didn’t have to accommodate to the team, it was the team who had to accommodate to him. But once he arrived at Real Madrid, he now was not the absolute core and he had to accommodate to the team and that was what he had trouble in
I agree too. The team always built around him but in Madrid you have to be fit in the team and then you add on his attitude towards training. And bad eating habits. Disaster all round
What a player he was, for managers like Carlo, Jose, Conte all to say he doesn’t train well and he doesn’t track back but still appreciate him as one of the best
@@hartzldndepends what you mean by one of the best.. best of all time? No.. one of best in premier league, I’d say so. But you don’t need to be so hurt by it, you’re a very defensive person. You don’t agree just don’t agree, instead of spitting your dummy out.
@@christophers4415 I don’t appreciate being spoken to rudely, whoever gives me aggrevation is 100% getting it back. I only spoke factually when I said Hazard is nowhere near the world’s best. It’s a ridiculous notion that Chelsea fans push out
Hazard was too naturally gifted. Mentality wise that messed him up as he didn't need to be coached and he didn't like training. He just relied on his natural ability too much and didn't take preparation seriously enough. When the injuries caught up with him that was it. Very predictable. Real Madrid should've never signed him.
It's like pretty girl privilege 😂, why offer more than my god given beauty when I'm being flown around the world with this alone. Effort makes no sense to them.
On the plus side, the Hazard mistake made Real Madrid learn their lesson and change their strategy from signing every top player to signing hardworking talents who happen to be Madridistas.

@@dasurmel1424absolute rubbish, ronsldo was wanted by every team in Europe before he went to Man Utd. If you think ronsldo is just hard work then you’re delusional
Hazard was like the bright smart guy in class who hated studying but still excelled. He truly didn't care whether he'd be remembered as a legend, failure or not. He saw football for what it really is, just a game to be had fun with. He don't care about your goat list, your stat analysis, your trophies and your expectation of a mere game player.
That's the problem with most creative players. It was the case with some Brazilian players such as Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Robinho...It is as if their laziness is the source of their creativity.. They don't want to deal with any pressure.
That's why I love Vini. He's the most exciting player to watch in football today, and he's also one of the most hardworking. His home gym is covered in murals of mentality monsters and the greatest players of sports: Cristiano, MJ, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant and Brazilian legends like Nazario and Pele. Also, another Brazilian young talent, Endrick has a similar mural on his gym as well. Cristiano, Serena Williams and Muhammad Ali. How can you not work hard when you look around and see these all-time greats?
Ronaldo had 2 devastating knee injuries starting at the age of 23 that more or less took him for almost 3 seasons. He was never going to be the same after that so it's a bit unfair to lump him in with the others. We will never know what happens if those injuries don't happen.

Hazard is like Ronaldinho 0.5. Come to football world and give their absolute best for a few seasons and left because of injury and lost passion for football. But we appreciate it nonetheless. Good luck on your next venture.
I like how he brings up “when you are not playing there is another one that can play”. Really shows the kind of club Real is because basically everyone on that team is a baller no matter what

Vini’s my number 1 hated player in football history but fair play to the guy. They bought Hazard off of Chelsea after his best ever season but Vini weren’t waiting for him. Took the opportunity and ran with it.
@@nashequalizer8836in my perspective he doesn't have good sportmanship, but then all Real Madrid players are ruthless towards their opponent. I just don't like it when he dropped the ball when Kimmich gave it to him.
@@Carlito54541__ Kimmich was wasting time, rolling on the floor and moaning to the referee all throughout the game and especially after Bayern took the lead.

Kimmich deserved that for mocking Saka limping off the pitch too. Horrible human being and terrible footballer.
no. he is just a human being that is happy with his life. he did the right thing no to torture his body and his mind after that injury... today he is a happy and healthy family dad... that is what counts, nothing else

Great points, training is not that important, if you are playing every 3 days, but if you not, then it is, because you need to be ready when you get you chance, to enable you to continue getting your chance
Eden wasn’t used to being in a club like Madrid where he’s not necessarily THAT guy. He actually has to prove that he deserve playing time and he wasn’t able to handle the competitiveness
People are forgetting something. Being injured at real Madrid twice for a combination of 12 months spells trouble. No matter how hard Eden worked, he wasn’t going to bench Vini especially after how much Vini developed in that 12 months! So fair play to Carlo.
This is why messi and ronaldo are the greatest. To have that competitive mentality for over 15 years is crazy! And they won almost every year. They became champions season after season and never laid back. They kept pushing every f-ing season again and again it's just crazy to think about.
I understand what he’s saying. People tend to make the correlation between “natural gifts” and laziness. Hazard probably built a lot of his skills and iq in competition. He built his ability through actively playing not training. I can see how training and doing repetitive drills was mentally draining for him, especially if he had an eagerness to play again.
If I heard my gaffa talking like this about me, it would send electrical impulses surging through my body, my hairs would stand on end, and I would die on that training pitch, for me, not wanting competition is the lowest way to go out in any sport
His understanding of players is better than any other manager. People talk about SAF and his man management. He wouldn't take 10 seconds to even think about his players if they didn't kiss his feet. Not even Jose gets near Carlo in this aspect of coaching.
It is shocking to a fan like that Eden Hazard is lazy in training. I would not have believe if i didn't heard from original source. Hazard is a player i admire so much in Chelsea.
@@mosstheboss9320 How you gonna put Klopp above Ancelotti when he's only won 1 CL and 1 PL? Mourinho was incredible between the years 2004-2012 but after that he hasn't done much. 5 Champions Leagues and countless domestic titles are you're really telling me Klopp and Mourinho are better than Don Carlo? Please man
At Lille and Chelsea he was used to being the main man. Going to Madrid is just a different mindset,level and standard. He had no fight in him cause he didn't fight before for his position in the team.
At Lille nobody could take his place so he knew whatever the situation he'll on the pitch anyway ... same at Chelsea ! in Madrid his name didnt mean shit for the club because the club is used to welcome great players so when he realise that he will need to fight for his place he could not handle it
Lmao. Ronaldo ability changed united and won 3 back to back premier league title including a treble and champions league. Qualified champions league final twice back to back and won a Ballon dor. Won premier league golden boot epl top scorer 2 epl best player won pfa young player of the year. Hazard with his ability with Chelsea won 2 Epl. Hazard is not close to ronaldo even in pure football cause his mentality is weak. 😂
He wasn't lying. Ronaldo is a mentality monster and became one of the best in the world through legendary hard work, discipline, determination to improve, etc. Hazard was only ever on vibes and was one of the best in the world too. If Hazard cared as much as Ronaldo did, he would hit Messi levels
@omarfaruk8164 You're right, Hazard was lazy and didn't have a disciplined mentality. And yet he was still the PL's best player for years and Madrid signed him for over 100 million. If that's what happens when he puts no effort in, imagine if he had the work ethic of Ronaldo. It's not hard
@omarfaruk8164 I should add - that 130m Madrid valued him at was at the END of his Chelsea contract. Name another player in history who couldn't be bothered to train and didn't care about statpadding and was still valued at that price by the world's biggest club
Reminds me of when a new coach came in at Real Madrid and flatly told Steve mcmanaman he wasn’t going to play…..macca knuckled down…got back in the team and won a couple of champions league with them…..impressive
Carlo is right but he didn't trust hazard enough on few occasions when he was injury free and playing ok.. He was doing his job, just putting the players that can give him results
Nah Hazard was ass I love Hazard I still had hope but overall when he played for us he never helped the team if anything he holded the team back. Madrid gave him a lot of chances . Also Vini and Rodrygo were literally shining
I think if Hazard would have just disciplined himself in the summer before coming to Madrid, his Real Madrid career could have turned out very different.
He didn’t need to compete. A player like Eden is an automatic starter. He didn’t need to train to play at the highest level. He was that good. He just needed a manager that would play him regardless like when he was at lille and Chelsea. RM didn’t deserve him. Facts.
He didn have the motivation to compete because he was injured constantly and didnt play regularly. Everyone is differnt i guess. no everyone is a machine
Not really. Even before his injuries, he hardly trained. It's evident from his former teammates' anecdotes. In fact, his frequent relapses in recovery is another result of not training properly.
Hazard, Rooney, two identical case studies but in different times of EPL. Rooney was in a time in which the league is not as intensive and grueling. The consequences of his laziness in training and keeping himself in-shape did not come so soon. For Hazard, it's really a different story. And both of them did not keep nutrition in check, which is also what kept Thomas Muller, Manuel Neuer, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in their prime for such a ridiculously long time. Training, nutrition, sleep, life, all have to be balanced for a long sports career
The last sentence about having difficulty to compete is exactly why he chose Chelsea over United. He didn't have the balls to compete at a high level that ferguson set at united.
Such a bang average player , had maybe 2-3 good seasons, for people to compare him to Ronaldinho who not only won everything domestically and internationally while performing at an incredibly high level for years is laughable
Eh. I think he's being nice. Or not talking about defensive work rate. Because there was no one at the club his position who could match the ability of prime Hazard going forward.
At Chelsea he was given superstar treatment If he's fit he starts At Real Madrid everyone is a superstar. If you're fit, why should you start ahead of vinicius jr?
till 28-29, your body works fine. thats the problem with Hazard, neymar, bale which makes Messi and CR7 different in maintaining fitness and adapting to the game. lets how dybala can do from now and SALAH from next seasons.
Great example with Vini. His rise to the top of football today is admirable, with horrible people laughing at him and writing him off at first, then insulting him for his skin color when he started shining, hanging his voodoo dolls from bridges, chanting "Vinicius, die" before matches, making murals of him being choked with blood streaming from his eyes.... I think it takes extreme mentality to not give up and keep moving forward.
I agree hazard should of took it more seriously from the start. Believe injuries played the biggest role. I remember I think it was the PSG champions league game he was balling out for Madrid and then got hurt again real badly. That was a wrap. He actually came back I think a year or two after that in good shape but by then it was too late he lost his explosiveness due to the injuries and wasn’t the same player. Would only show flashes. What a shame. He was top 3 in his prime imo. People put neymar ahead of him but do me a favor and put hazard w Messi and Suarez and you tell me how he would do 🤯 and put neymar at Chelsea… chelsea would of dropped off and Barca would of been just as good if not better
A pity Real Madrid fans will never know how dazzling Eden Hazard was, i think people would have loved his game more than Ronaldo simply because Hazard used to take on more players more often.
Real Madrid doesn’t care about that. They care about efficiency in front of goal and trophies. If you’re not doing any of that then you’re not up to standard.
That's a nice way to say he was lazy.

Fukin ell Sancho still catching strays 😂😂😂😂
Sancho doesn’t have the talent of hazard yet he is lazy
his english is actually really good. no fluff. clear message
He had an injury and didn't make it back. His level was near messi and ronaldo. Maybe not the trophys but the skill.
He was one of a handful who just played the game for the sake of enjoyment!
And he was just phenomenal!
I can see it. He is gifted and felt competition was insulting his individual talent. I sympathize with Hazard
All that shit is nonsense lol. he was lazy and fragile
@@joel8692 no he wasn’t. He won a lot with Chelsea. Haters gonna hate
Talent is nothing without hard work
@@arthurloo11he won everything that could be won with Chelsea, he had already proven himself to be one of the best in his generation, if he was a starter every game he would have been the key man for Real
Hazard had been always a lone star at Lille and Chelsea, he got all the balls and played in all matches even without training, but in RM there are many stars who are always ready to take his position
Vini’s my number 1 hated player in football history but fair play to the guy.
They bought Hazard off of Chelsea after his best ever season but Vini weren’t waiting for him. Took the opportunity and ran with it.
Why is Vini your most hated?
@@nashequalizer8836in my perspective he doesn't have good sportmanship, but then all Real Madrid players are ruthless towards their opponent. I just don't like it when he dropped the ball when Kimmich gave it to him.
@@nashequalizer8836 always plays well against my team and dives and bitches more than any one. No one even comes close.
Saying that, hell of a player.
@@Carlito54541__ Kimmich was wasting time, rolling on the floor and moaning to the referee all throughout the game and especially after Bayern took the lead. It's great that Vini returned the favor to that rat after Real Madrid took the lead. Not to mention hanging him out to dry throughout the game as well. Vini is gonna win the Balon D'or this year too.
Kimmich deserved that for mocking Saka limping off the pitch too. Horrible human being and terrible footballer.
@@Chip_Fuse “kimmich mentality” 😂
Hazard was world class, just imagine if he took training more seriously..
The conclusions being drawn in this comment section really prove modern football fans don’t understand the game anymore
He couldn’t handle not being the main man. Became a little fish in a small pond.
no. he is just a human being that is happy with his life. he did the right thing no to torture his body and his mind after that injury... today he is a happy and healthy family dad... that is what counts, nothing else
Cristiano is a happy and healthy family dad, your bullshit doesnt make any sense at all
So someone is saying that someone else being happy with their life is what matters…
And that doesn’t make sense to you.
Don’t have kids my guy.
@@G0A7 cristiano is not happy. you are full of shit.
@@G0A7 first of all, cristiano is not a happy man, people yell messi and he starts crying like a little child, his ambitions is making him go crazy, and second he is not a family dad, he never was married and at least 2 of his children are from a surrogate mother... stop @ing me with your bullshit and go frenchkiss cristiano you sad fangirl, ur such a nobody why would you even mention cristiano if i didnt do in the first place... jesus christ
wtf you glazing him so much lmao even when he's not injured he can't play because he's washed and cannot break in to the starting 11
I don't want to say anything bad such a likeable guy, but not competing for your place in the team is awful
Before he came to Madrid he was easily one the best in his generation.He wasn’t used to competing for a place on the team sheet.
What a nice guy! He didn’t throw him under the bus like others would have.
In most clubs just know that : theres a sub whos waiting for you to be less competitive so the manager can allow them to take your spot. ..
I still don't why real Madrid signed him. He was on the back end of his career. Real Madrid signed him like they were desperate for a player
as a barca fan i was honestly so excited when i heard hazard was coming to real madrid... he could have been something great there
Great points, training is not that important, if you are playing every 3 days, but if you not, then it is, because you need to be ready when you get you chance, to enable you to continue getting your chance
That’s probably the most honest thing I have heard in while. No one is bigger then jersey or club
he was the main man in his previous clubs, he has special treatments, in real he was just another good player,
Eden wasn’t used to being in a club like Madrid where he’s not necessarily THAT guy. He actually has to prove that he deserve playing time and he wasn’t able to handle the competitiveness
People are forgetting something. Being injured at real Madrid twice for a combination of 12 months spells trouble. No matter how hard Eden worked, he wasn’t going to bench Vini especially after how much Vini developed in that 12 months! So fair play to Carlo.
This is why messi and ronaldo are the greatest. To have that competitive mentality for over 15 years is crazy! And they won almost every year. They became champions season after season and never laid back. They kept pushing every f-ing season again and again it's just crazy to think about.
Hazard is the definition of all talent no work.
Greatest coach of all time
The fact was that he was already declining when he had those injuries.
Because, if he was performing despite not training, nobody will be complaining.
I understand what he’s saying. People tend to make the correlation between “natural gifts” and laziness. Hazard probably built a lot of his skills and iq in competition. He built his ability through actively playing not training. I can see how training and doing repetitive drills was mentally draining for him, especially if he had an eagerness to play again.
If I heard my gaffa talking like this about me, it would send electrical impulses surging through my body, my hairs would stand on end, and I would die on that training pitch, for me, not wanting competition is the lowest way to go out in any sport
As a lazy person he managed to be at the top when he was in his prime, but afterwards it went downhill. His fast twitch muscles got slower and slower.
His understanding of players is better than any other manager. People talk about SAF and his man management. He wouldn't take 10 seconds to even think about his players if they didn't kiss his feet. Not even Jose gets near Carlo in this aspect of coaching.
lol
It is shocking to a fan like that Eden Hazard is lazy in training. I would not have believe if i didn't heard from original source. Hazard is a player i admire so much in Chelsea.
When Don Carlo talks, I listen. As everyone should. That's how HUGE he is!
Ancelotti is the greatest manager of all time.
the best italian manager yes, but in the world he is probably 3rd for me 1st Mourinho 2nd Jurgen Klopp then ancelotti
@@mosstheboss9320 😂😂😂
@@mosstheboss9320 How you gonna put Klopp above Ancelotti when he's only won 1 CL and 1 PL? Mourinho was incredible between the years 2004-2012 but after that he hasn't done much.
5 Champions Leagues and countless domestic titles are you're really telling me Klopp and Mourinho are better than Don Carlo? Please man
At Lille and Chelsea he was used to being the main man. Going to Madrid is just a different mindset,level and standard. He had no fight in him cause he didn't fight before for his position in the team.
At Lille nobody could take his place so he knew whatever the situation he'll on the pitch anyway ... same at Chelsea ! in Madrid his name didnt mean shit for the club because the club is used to welcome great players so when he realise that he will need to fight for his place he could not handle it
Hazard and Sancho same mentality guys! Both with high potential but flopped because they think too highly of themselves
Do you remember when he said he is in pure football better than cr7 🤣 i guess he was eating burgers instead of watching the former Nummer 7 at real
Lmao. Ronaldo ability changed united and won 3 back to back premier league title including a treble and champions league. Qualified champions league final twice back to back and won a Ballon dor. Won premier league golden boot epl top scorer 2 epl best player won pfa young player of the year. Hazard with his ability with Chelsea won 2 Epl. Hazard is not close to ronaldo even in pure football cause his mentality is weak. 😂
He wasn't lying. Ronaldo is a mentality monster and became one of the best in the world through legendary hard work, discipline, determination to improve, etc. Hazard was only ever on vibes and was one of the best in the world too. If Hazard cared as much as Ronaldo did, he would hit Messi levels
@@nib4626 if hazard cared much as ronaldo he would hit Messi's level at where? . At Mars 😂? His laziness was next level
@omarfaruk8164 You're right, Hazard was lazy and didn't have a disciplined mentality. And yet he was still the PL's best player for years and Madrid signed him for over 100 million. If that's what happens when he puts no effort in, imagine if he had the work ethic of Ronaldo. It's not hard
@omarfaruk8164 I should add - that 130m Madrid valued him at was at the END of his Chelsea contract. Name another player in history who couldn't be bothered to train and didn't care about statpadding and was still valued at that price by the world's biggest club
Reminds me of when a new coach came in at Real Madrid and flatly told Steve mcmanaman he wasn’t going to play…..macca knuckled down…got back in the team and won a couple of champions league with them…..impressive
Madrid doesn't have that burger stand.. That's hurt him the most
Eden hazard was a shooting star , but my god did he burn bright
They compared him to Salah 😭
Carlo is right but he didn't trust hazard enough on few occasions when he was injury free and playing ok..
He was doing his job, just putting the players that can give him results
Nah Hazard was ass I love Hazard I still had hope but overall when he played for us he never helped the team if anything he holded the team back. Madrid gave him a lot of chances . Also Vini and Rodrygo were literally shining
I think if Hazard would have just disciplined himself in the summer before coming to Madrid, his Real Madrid career could have turned out very different.
If Carlo Ancelotti says this was the problem… then this was most definitely the problem.
his english is astonishingly good. I remember the first time he arrived at chelsea and he was really struggling in all of his interviews
Hazard didnt give a fck anymore, signed for Madrid, won millions for doing absolutely nothing but having fun, looks like a win tbh
This man is saying a lot of intelligent things. He would be a great coach!
Don Carlo, the best Manager; Guardiola, the best Coach; Mourinho, the ShowStopper
He didn’t need to compete. A player like Eden is an automatic starter. He didn’t need to train to play at the highest level. He was that good. He just needed a manager that would play him regardless like when he was at lille and Chelsea. RM didn’t deserve him. Facts.
THATS HIS CLASS. He was world class for that 1 season in Chelsea.
Cristiano once said: Talent without hard work is nothing
He didn have the motivation to compete because he was injured constantly and didnt play regularly. Everyone is differnt i guess. no everyone is a machine
Not really. Even before his injuries, he hardly trained. It's evident from his former teammates' anecdotes. In fact, his frequent relapses in recovery is another result of not training properly.
Hazard, Rooney, two identical case studies but in different times of EPL. Rooney was in a time in which the league is not as intensive and grueling. The consequences of his laziness in training and keeping himself in-shape did not come so soon. For Hazard, it's really a different story. And both of them did not keep nutrition in check, which is also what kept Thomas Muller, Manuel Neuer, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in their prime for such a ridiculously long time. Training, nutrition, sleep, life, all have to be balanced for a long sports career
Hazard doesn't want pressure so he folded. Easy as that. Sure he has an amazing talent but without the mentality you are nothing.
Hazard had Ronaldo or Kobe's mentality he would have been more than he was
And thats the difference betweenness players like him and messi. Not hard working enough, not that killer instinct
The last sentence about having difficulty to compete is exactly why he chose Chelsea over United. He didn't have the balls to compete at a high level that ferguson set at united.
he would be on the bench for sir alex
At the end of the day, his career wildness remembered. Champions League winner
This just shows talents is nothing without hardwork.
Eto'o said it perfectly, not working hard, in the long term you will pay it.
Talent with no Passion
Such a bang average player , had maybe 2-3 good seasons, for people to compare him to Ronaldinho who not only won everything domestically and internationally while performing at an incredibly high level for years is laughable
2-3!? He was playing sensational football from about 2012-2019, with only one season (15/16) off.
Christ is King 👑 Thank you brother Sam and Jay
Eh. I think he's being nice. Or not talking about defensive work rate. Because there was no one at the club his position who could match the ability of prime Hazard going forward.
At Chelsea he was given superstar treatment
If he's fit he starts
At Real Madrid everyone is a superstar. If you're fit, why should you start ahead of vinicius jr?
till 28-29, your body works fine. thats the problem with Hazard, neymar, bale which makes Messi and CR7 different in maintaining fitness and adapting to the game. lets how dybala can do from now and SALAH from next seasons.
He was so good, I still would’ve taken the chance with him over anyone else accept messi/ronaldo
in indonesia national team. players is not much play in their club but they play starting eleven in national team
He had difficulties to compete obviously due to injuries but people will only hear he had difficulties to compete which is rubbish
Yeah not much you can do when your ankle is more or less permanently fucked.
That’s the opposite of Ronaldo,Messi and Vini (also others) always competitive to improve a little bit day by day
Great example with Vini. His rise to the top of football today is admirable, with horrible people laughing at him and writing him off at first, then insulting him for his skin color when he started shining, hanging his voodoo dolls from bridges, chanting "Vinicius, die" before matches, making murals of him being choked with blood streaming from his eyes....
I think it takes extreme mentality to not give up and keep moving forward.
@@Chip_Fusei would take ot as wondeful encouragement - the kind you need to say "fck all of you, ill kill your peasants team as a act of forginveness
Perfectly said Sir, he couldn’t compete.
I agree hazard should of took it more seriously from the start. Believe injuries played the biggest role. I remember I think it was the PSG champions league game he was balling out for Madrid and then got hurt again real badly. That was a wrap. He actually came back I think a year or two after that in good shape but by then it was too late he lost his explosiveness due to the injuries and wasn’t the same player. Would only show flashes.
What a shame. He was top 3 in his prime imo. People put neymar ahead of him but do me a favor and put hazard w Messi and Suarez and you tell me how he would do 🤯 and put neymar at Chelsea… chelsea would of dropped off and Barca would of been just as good if not better
A pity Real Madrid fans will never know how dazzling Eden Hazard was, i think people would have loved his game more than Ronaldo simply because Hazard used to take on more players more often.
Real Madrid doesn’t care about that. They care about efficiency in front of goal and trophies. If you’re not doing any of that then you’re not up to standard.
He's basically saying he didn't have the will to fight for his position back, he just expected to be in the 1st team, probably an ego thing
