- ESPN FC's Frank Leboeuf, Craig Burley, Steve Nicol and Alejandro Moreno react to former teammate John Obi Mikel calling Real Madrid's Eden Hazard, "the laziest player he's played alongside." Nicol and Burley say Hazard's poor training regimen isn't a problem because he's one of the best players on the pitch in most games he plays. Moreno contends that showing up to Real Madrid out of shape after his move from Chelsea was a bad look that left Hazard open to criticism.

if train hard is important then japan already won the world cup 10 times
@Huslen Batsuuri nah, China only dreams.
@Speedy ohh so Japan is only good for anime? I see... so that's the only way they make money... I honestly thought Shinji Kagawa was a great player and Honda also but hey, they have anime right?
@@simplydowin3284 well ppl know japan because of Anime not Kagawa or Honda.... only us football fans know that
@@simplydowin3284 lol Japan is also most technologically advanced.look at their trains and ther safety ratio.
Ronaldo would've won Ballon d'Or every year, won the 2006,2010,2014 and 2018 world cup, won the 2008,2012,2016 euro
People just like taking what people said out of context. Mikel wasn't trying to look down on Hazard, he was simply trying to say what an amazing player Hazard is, that's pretty much it.
Media wants controversy... Even where there is none. Locusts, the lot of em.
He literally called him lazy...
@@MrBLAAHHHHHHHHHHH so what? He literally said the guy would get MOTM every Sunday without even working hard.
Exactly! Did you go to school with children that hardly studied but nailed the exams all the time? I sure did. They were natural. One of my brothers is like that. Kid barely touches a book but is a scholar.
Mohamed B. Mansaray very spot on. These guys obviously are bereft of more serious things to discuss and decided to make a mountain off a molehill with Mikel's comment which imo was more complementary than derogatory ...
His laziness in practice isn’t an issue, but showing up to a new club out of shape is.
All discipline affect others
If a man's on a vacation, he's on a vacation, period.
@@kangad4711 Vacation doesn't mean gain 10 kilos
It's real madrid who cares
In the long run it will effect him , his body won't be able to perform as he gets older .
Had a roommate in collage like that drunk all weekend whiles the rest of us hit the books before an exam and would ace it 😀😀
Hate those people 😂
They're always a bad influence!
Fam....those people bro! Only study the night before the exam, still flipping their books just right before the exams starts and smokes the rest of us😂
You couldn’t have gone to college if you spell it collage 😂😂😂
ostropogas k . I’m like that, they key of his success was relaxation . Because, when you’re stress free, you can study a lot .
Compared to Ozil Hazard is like Kante
Why do you need to bring Özil?
@@wesleymalutama3651
Hes just a hater
@@wesleymalutama3651 he stated that Ozil is super slow
If Ozil is this lazy during games imagine training
Unhappy Arsenal supporter. Would much rather have a lazy Hazard than a harder working Ozil any day of the week.
And this is why he cant reach the level that everyone thought he would
mithaq ali Your thought doesn’t matter to him ,he can’t do more than he’s destined to ,focus on your own life .
That is it Wright one
Look, I don't care about people expection. So, Why would he?
@@VitalCodingtips nope he's right
Why does it matter? So long as he performs well in matches thats fine with us. I know he's a bit lazy (in training) the moment I saw his first rondo with Madrid, but when he's in the field, he give his all, and that's all that matters. He creates many chances in matches, if we only still have a quality finisher like Ronaldo, Hazard would've 5-10 assists by now.
Hazard enjoy playing football, thats why i like him, the only player smiling on the field. I dnt care if he s leazy!
I need to watch him over. I see him upset and angry Soo many times.. like the kicking ball boy time for 1... Ronaldinho the one who is always happy.
@@hythlodaeus9944 the ball boy deserved it though
@@hythlodaeus9944 go see ronaldinho s dark side ,He s alcoholic ,Skips training and choked a player who nutmegged him . Hazard is happy all the time ,The ball boy just deserved it as he accept that he was appointed to waste some time
He's just a player who likes to be lazy for 5 days and extremely serious for next 2 days.
@@shahtador6750 ronaldinho could have a dark side.. but hazard ain't always happy at all. During the game he is upset. Alcoholic and whatever off field ain't what I'm talking about. On field. He seemed always happy. Hazard seems to be doing a job and gets upset
We are talking about practice man. What are we talking about? practice? We are talking about practice man...
not a game, we talking about practice
Different sports lol
Iverson 😂
Allen Iverson favourite line
Not the game that I go out there and die for, not the game. We talking about practice? I mean how silly is that?
Ronaldinho was the same way so it doesn’t matter completely as long as they perform in real games
Shannon Sharpe yeah but the problem is he isn’t even performing in games.
@@javiermejia9209 Only recently mate. He'll regain his form soon enough.
Yes Ronaldinho was phenomenal, but his prime was short lived. I can see Hazards bad habits catching up to him like they did for Ronaldinho.
I mean terrible example considering Ronaldinho wasted his talent. One of the most naturally gifted players ever but cared more about fun than winning (which is completely fine) but he hit 20 goals in any league just once, Ronaldinho the man that many people call a top 5 all time player did that once, no doubt Ronaldinho was phenomenal but he could have done so much more with his talent if he worked hard.
That;s why he sucked majority of the time.
“John Obi 6ix9ine”
John Terry said the same thing
In this hour of desperation ESPN turns a tongue in cheek comment from an ex colleague into a discussion.

Typical Procrastinator_13 well said mate
@Kevin Durant Imagine using the word cringe unironically in 2019
Call him what you want, he was the best player in the PL at least 3 - 4 seasons straight. More times than not he'll perform on game days so thats all that matters
Definitely not "straight"
He undoubtedly ghosted a couple of seasons in between.
Mahrez, Salah, Aguero have all had seasons where they were better than him.
@@aidenfrost10 de bruyne too
OG Cookie Monster he was never the best player in the past 3-4 seasons but he is very talented
Eden Hazard was definitely not the best player in the EPL for 3-4 straight seasons. Where on earth did you get that idea from?
Alexis Sanchez, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Salah, Aguero played in ligue 1 last 3-4 years?
He's a big match player. Every cup final he performs well
he’s a difference maker. if you want a hard worker, buy marc albrighton and snodgrass.
steven g yeah but now a days he’s not even doing that..
They're tired and given up!
@@javiermejia9209 he is you need to watch some games
Am a leicester fan and albrighton is the hardest worker in the prem gives his all everygame
Not anymore. The hardest working club atm is Liverpool. And the best too. If you are a difference maker and a hard worker it is even better (like a sadio mane). Mane is waay better than hazard..
Hard work beat talent until talent work really hard.
Good quotes
lionel messi- ok hold my dwarf
@@alpharays5768 well messi himself got outclassed by cr7 and had to work for it to reach the top again
@@kennazaryan7086 well cr7 have talent too , he's quite tall and has a knack for headers
@@patricksantino4131 i know ..but still cr7 got where he is today mainly because of hard work ....unlike messi who is born with a golden spoon in his mouth.if u know what i mean
Similar things have been said about Messi. As long as they perform it doesn't matter.
Well there's a big difference there. When has Messi looked (that) out of shape? Also, we know he's worked on his penalites and freekicks and that's not just talent. That's hardwork. I'm not saying he's the hardest worker in football but he's never let him himself go atleast..
I've never heard stories of Messi not wanting to train or being lazy during training. Quite the opposite, I hear stories of him humiliating his world class teammates in training.
Jim Jones likewise, I’ve yet to hear a story about Messi being a ‘lazy player’. Maybe I’m not paying enough attention to him.
Messi just trains as a ‘football’ player. He doesn’t seem as crazy to be in great athletic shape as Ronaldo is. Doesn’t mean he isn’t in great shape or anything
What all these guys said. Also the fact that Messis lowest league goal tally in the past ten years is 26, Hazards highest ever is 20 in ligue 1. Yes different teams, yes different leagues, but hazards best season doesn't scratch Messis worst season in the past 10 years
In the long term, it will affect him as he will fade much quicker at the top level
Yeah like Ronaldinho he was out of the top flight by 30
Mikel's comment to me was more of a compliment. It just means football is just part of him and doesn't require extra efforts.
Hazard can NEVER EVER be compared to, or reach the heights of Cristiano !
It’s that simple, you can’t expect any player to be at the GOAT...level
They come around every 50 years
Well hazard is also a goat... but different.
Pipe down mate. CR7 isn't even the GOAT.
@@waydebelgrave-haynes855 messi and Cristiano are GOATS. Your just a farmer
Dude relax take a deep breath exhale now no one is comparing him to ronaldo this is about hazard lazyness dont get worked up over that inhale exhale inhale exhale
Suck him up already
Even ESPN is trying harder to make a show than hazard at training. 😂
It wouldn’t kill him to drop back and defend.
Increase his defensive work rate sometimes.
Even if you’re man of the match every game.
The guy played a match with a hangover and scored a hatrick😂😂👏👏
He hasn't scored 3 goals in all his career since 2019 at RM, in 833 minutes played he has scored 1 goal, it is the most expensive goal ever. The only good news about Hazard is that he finishes contract with RM in summer 2022, and that is the best thing he has done for the team. A total liability, one of RM biggest mistakes in 120 years.
That expain how Eden always look like he puts a few pounds on
OneVoice 4thG joke is getting lame
Eden always looks and probably did put on a few pounds at the start of season even while at Chelsea. That is who he is. Still won multiple premier league titles and multiple cups being the best player for the club. That is who he is. As season progresses, he gets better.
@@Jake-ch4of thats the problem with the football community, once theres a big joke it gets reused for years and years for likes
@@Jake-ch4of I don't think he is joking. He DOES look a bit heavier than his Chelsea days.
He doesn't want to develop his upper body with too much muscles, cause that'll screw up his low center of gravity that permits him to make all these short twists & turns. You won't see him benching in the gym.
he has been at the belguim truffels he has piled on the timber
Should of never went to Real. He was loved at Chelsea. SMH
Chelsea won't be able to achieve what they did if Eden Hazard was still there.
Meh. Hazard’s name was never going to be among the legends. He is capitalizing on his success. Much more money at Madrid thats for sure.
@@teufelhunden8308 it's best for u to stfu, ur logic is embarrassing
Madrid should’ve never bought him
Now he won't be able to live upto what Cristiano achieved at Real. Big shoes to fill.
"We talkin bout' practice, NOT A GAME. Practice." - Allen Iverson
The difference is that Iverson showed results in games
@@migueljuarez5496 hazard has championships sooo...
Yow Mikel was simply stating how good hazard is..of course he trains if he didn't train how tf would he learn his skills..do u even know how hard it is to dribble like hazard?? That takes years of practice and effort..trust me if it didn't anyone could do it..some players need to train harder than others cuz they are less talented facts
Um... Ever heard of natural talent.. some ppl have a genius brain.. like ronaldinho a lot of his things came after 3/4 tries.. things that others do for years and can't get. That's "not training and not working hard" therefore if he actually worked hard he may become a world beater.
The guy did say "some players". obviously Ronaldinho was naturally talented.
True
@@hythlodaeus9944 read what I said again lol..don't know if agreeing or disagreeing at this point
It looks like this Alejandro Moreno didn’t like hazard a bit,
Because there is never a time he talk good of him
*That's talent vs hard work*
Dont work hard, work smart
Idk about off the field but he always puts in a 100 % when he is on the field
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PRACTICE.
NOT THE GAME.
NOT THE GAME.
WE'RE TALKING. ABOUT. PRACTICE.
I love hazards style of play. It would be in his best interest, and his future playing in the top level. He needs to work harder, train and get In shape or his performance will deteriorate and the likelyhood of him getting a serious injury is greater. I hope the best for him.
He always had 15-20 gd games season after season.nd u can't deny his class!
When I train obsessively for football I feel I perform worse but I want to work hard to improve- I’m confused 🤷🏻♂️
"It doesn't matter as long as they are performing on the pitch."
Yeah, and has he performed at Madrid? Nope, not at all. One goal. ONE GOAL. ONE FLIPPIN' GOAL.
Even if Hazard got back into his form, he shouldn’t have gone to that club. Madrid and United are clubs currently you need to think long and hard if it’s the right decision to go to... even if it’s your dream or on your bucket list.
People forgetting about George Best, Ronaldinho, etc. They were not the most hardworking man in their time and in their team, but it was not talent alone that made them, it was because they were having fun playing football. And it is whats important.
And then you get Cristiano Ronaldo who doesn't even ponders the question, just gets up and do it
That commentator who pronounced real madrid like that is showing off at this point no body says it that way im a chef in Madrid and the locals dont even stretch it that far 😂😂
Zidane system isn't set up for hazard to score goals, look at Martinez system at Belgium, hazard scores freely...
The media took mikel’s word out context . As usual , they want to make a lot of money from this . He meant to say that Hazard has a natural talent . He didnt trained but still perform every week. Thats what he tried to say.
This was a tongue in cheek sort of statement. It was actually a compliment.
The whole tean is not performing consistently. When they get a good squad he will perform. He had a bit of a belly when Chelsea plays Arsenal in europa final but still performs
"Reyal Mathrith" 1:56
Ever since that Real madrid move and that lre season injury he never been the same
Hazard is in form right now
Hazard is out of his comfort zone, and he should be responsible if some one has paid 100million for u he will expect great things. So hazard should take responsibility and start working hard. Age is also catching up so have to train harder then before.
He's not lazy he just gained an extra 7kg of weight but he is still able to have that low sense of gravity when he rotates at a ridiculous angle with the ball.
He didn't like to train because he didn't want to stunt his physical stats
Not that type of physique
You guys are not talking about the side where Mikel said "but at the end of the match he(Hazard) always take the man of the match" . And Mikel said this is unbelievable. This sport analyst most times talks only about the negative side.
Anyone: ......
These guys: Guess we have another video to post!
There might be some truth to this. Eto told him that he has to work hard if he wants to stay on top for a long time.
We already have a hardworker in Vazquez. He isn't setting the world on fire. But first, can somebody define how much work should be considered hard work?
Hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard
Exactly. In fact this is written in bold letters at PSV Eindhoven's famed academy.
If it was Ozil, you guys would say go back home and get some sleep...
Some players just don’t need practice. Shaquille O’Neil was the same way when he was in the NBA, but was still an incredible player
He just pushed away his oponents with his fat gutbucket under the ring, lol.
Imagine if he kept his weight down and trained he would lasted much longer in the league and won more than one mvp perhaps 6 rings or more he was that dominant and lazy about training
Koala Bear true but those are the players that have more talent than passion, Hazard is prob one of those players. You can tell he loves the game but like Hazard said it’s just a game to him so training and staying fit isn’t life or death for him
Shaq was out of shape and Kobe called him out on it. That was another issue why that team broke up.
He saving energy for the match
Yeah aight whatever do what you gotta do to put up numbers
He came overweight but he has lost that weight and he's started playing Really well. The only reason why casuals still think he's playing trash is cuz he isn't scoring or assisting but he's winning pens, linking up play and all those stuff
I saw his comment as a compliment. Naturally gifted. I prefer hard workers though.
It is not practice that makes you perfect, it is perfect practice that makes perfect. A lot of people just put in the work just for the sake of it. If you practiced 1000 shots at goal each day but with bad technique, all that you are gonna get good at is how bad you are at taking shots or missing. I am sure you can mention some players like that in top tier leagues. Hazard perfects some techniques that some players simply cannot do and that tells you about his kind of practice. Yeah he has an immerse talent but the ability to use it in situations that defining is what makes him a top player he is.
Just look at Ronaldinho. He was lazy af and would go to hung over to the matches and he was outstanding.
Maybe La Liga is harder to play in than most people believe which would explain his drop in performance. With Madrid’s midfield and defense he has no excuse.
People don't get it. Ofcourse Hazard works hard and so does Messi and all "gifted" players. Calling them "gifted" and other players hard workers is not fair. No one is born gifted to play football. Gifted players are gifted because they worked hard with lots of passion and dedication when they were kids to gain those skills, to learn how to manipulate and dribble the ball. Being "gifted" is actually harder than working your a$$ off in training because that "gift" and ability to do magic takes years and years from very early age to develop.
Messi was also a nightmare under pep in terms of fitness training yet he destroyed on game day . Why is this? Because your best efforts are supposed to be saved for game day , you don’t have unlimited energy . UFC fighters understand this. They never go hard in sparring , that’s for the real thing . Value your energy , save it for what matters.
Hazard: I am the Dribble King. Why am i a sub? How many goals have I scored?
Zidane: How many benches have you broken.
So now we know why hazard cant dine on THE TABLE but dines on that table with griezman salah mane etc talent alone can only take u that far
WE TALKING ABOUT PRACTICE!!!
Dr. Socratise used to be smoking while everyone else was running.. Yet he stood out for Brazil
Didier, Lampard and Hazard are Chelsea greatest of all tone
Didn’t Mou say something similar?
Dennis Rodman went to Vegas in the middle of a playoff series, party hard return the morning of the game and dominate
we talkin' bout practice man, practice!
It’s like school, ur lazy but when it counts, u work hard
Are we talking about practice???
I hope he trains hard when he has the rematch with the ball boy he attacked
rajeev paltrow he never attacked a ball boy
@@carolkreuz1916
He kicked a ball ball and got a red card against Swansea
He is talented but talent without hard work then they is a probability of him retiring soon ..
It might depend but it is clear that Hazard has to work harder and more. He’s not performing how he’s meant to and he needs to work harder.
It’s life man not all men are created equal. Some work hard in athletics and achieve little others have natural talent and make things effortless
Talent > hard work
My nephew's teachers told my brother dt if he would start devoting 10 to 12hrs a day for studies then he can easily be in the first 1000 students in India. He responded to his father: what other students achieve in 12hrs, i can do dt in 4 to 5hrs nd he was ranked in first 300 in India in the most toughest examination for medical students.... 😹
Isn’t that young Brazilian guy rodrigo player better than Harzard？
rodirgo who? he played some good games and you think is better than Hazard? geez
prazey Man has no idea bruh 🤦🏾♂️ straight up has the audacity to type that kinda stuff...
Tf did you just say lol come on
not better but playing better ATM
what's the goal/assist/passes completed to game ratio like ATM
between the two?
Natural talent
Hazard is a natural talent. Some have it some don't. Clearly he isn't interested in beating record's that's been said by himself.
The two examples they used were members of the beer and cigarettes era of football. Now when you're an elite player you have to take is seriously when you hit your late 20's. This is why Ronaldinho fell off.
Hazard's laziness is why he will never reach Ronald's or Messi's level. Such a pity as he had the ability to do so.
Ian Rush was an out and out goal scorer with no ability outside of the box. Strikers these days need so much more to their game.
Yes
These pundits are very biased. If this was a player like Ozil, Xhaka, Pogba they'd be insulting them. But, since it's hazard and others, it's very okay. 🚮🚮🚮🚮
That's the privilege of performing *consistently* well.
These guys are saying that it is ok as long as he performes in real games. I wonder whta they would say if it was NEYMAR..."ooh, he is just like that" , "he is spoiled old baby" , "he loves carnaval", "he loves to party", "brazilians are like that"...
Is it me or hazard is getting too much hate, is it because he went to Real Madrid maybe?
Yeah u are partially right my friends but I would like to add something up also haters list will start with Barcelona and end with real Madrid
Barcelona cause eden does magical dribbling which only messi is better still he has a better rate than messi so some fans after the world Cup and nxt epl season hyped hazard that he will destroy laliga and show messi who is the boss so that's one gone
2nd would be his fault he gained weight and underperformed so from that the huge hate came too
3rd he was meant to replace ronaldo though he didn't say that himself but the expectations are always high so when u can't live up to it people will hate
4th he wore no7 of ronaldo jersey where his haters were from real Madrid and ronaldo plastic fans from juve that he can't wear no 7
5th will be his own Chelsea fans cause he left them and underperforming
some rotten fans u know
6th will be as u know hazard is a bit inconsistent so his fans rate him very high above and he is though very talented better than salah etc but recently as his form got down epl teams like Liverpool City etc taunted him that he is bad he can never be better than theirs clubs respective player or what soever so yeah😅😅😅
We talkin bout practice
Hazard trains smart, not hard.
Ryan giggs Jerry Josh and dalglish
Hi
Right now he's not performing well so I don't see why it doesn't matter... 1 goal this year so far lol
Emile Pelletier You all should use your brain before making a comment ,he scores or assist in almost every game he plays for Belgium,he is just yet to sync with his new teammate,second of all , he has won two MOTM in his last two games for RM despite not scoring or assisting ,that says a lot.
It is a problem, you can see the different between him and Cristiano or Messi.
Work hard and you’ll get good results, He can be very good but with that attitude he won't play until his 30’s if he is lucky..
If hazard is lazy then what was Berbatov lol
😂😂😂 the man is gifted
He’s always been a lazy player. Never contributed enough goals or assists for his level of talent. I’ve always said that his presence stifled our chelsea team. And we are seeing the fruits of it now. We always seemed to score more goals when he didn’t play. He mostly only gave us a chance in difficult games. But if I were his coach I wouldn’t play him in easier games because opposition plans for him. And we also center our game around him so that 5-10 goals a season players couldn’t even get that chance.
Ronaldhnio had the same issue
And that’s why he fell off so quickly
