"Arriving seven kilos overweight... Hazard underestimated Madrid"

Eden Hazard has not stopped being criticised by one or the other since his arrival at Real Madrid. The latest to talk about the midfielder, now reunited with Belgium for the end of the qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar, was Marc Degryse.

The former striker was very critical of his compatriot and how he landed at Real Madrid: "I still don't understand it, that he arrived at the first training session seven kilos overweight. How do you do that? Gaining five kilos in three weeks! It's hard to understand that you start preparing like that".

"He started training with the others without getting rid of those extra kilos. As a result, he suffered an injury and came back without having laid the foundations for a good season. He seriously underestimated Real Madrid," said the Belgian.

With these precedents, Degryse showed no surprise that Vinicius has taken his place in Los Blancos' attack. As a result, Hazard has taken a back seat in Ancelotti's plans, even if he remains unchallenged for his national team.
