Real Madrid Confidencial Courtois's Confession About Hazard and His Time at Real Madrid: 'i Feel...'
Courtois talks about his former teammate, Hazard, and confesses what he felt during his time at Madrid
One of the players who left the most expectations at Real Madrid and couldn't fulfill them was the player who came from Chelsea, Eden Hazard. Although the Belgian had the tough task of replacing Cristiano Ronaldo, many considered him one of the best in the world during those years. It has been his national team teammate, Courtois, who has spoken about that tough period for the former player.
"I feel a bit sorry that Eden couldn't make his dream move to Madrid as he would have wanted, he was a very special player." These were the words of the merengue goalkeeper, which leave many very hurt by what this transfer could have been. A player who arrived as one of the great stars of the Premier and couldn't be what many expected.
While for an important sector of Madrid fans and all the antis he was a player who came to steal, the reality was very different. Eden was a player who tried at all times to recover to perform at the expected level, and injuries didn't allow him.
Never Was What Was Expected
The signing of this player, despite having the tough task of replacing the best player in Madrid's history, didn't stop generating excitement. He arrived as the top star of Chelsea and one of the best players in the entire Premier League by far.
In addition to this, his World Cup in that year 2018 had left the world completely shocked by what was already a global star. However, upon his arrival at Real Madrid, despite having flashes of greatness, it was all darkness after that fateful injury.
Since then, we could never again see who was one of the best players in the world and the great hope of Madrid fans in those years. Nevertheless, already from those moments, the explosion of who would become Cristiano's heir in Vinícius Junior was beginning to take shape.
Soccer Is Like This
What fans need to understand is that soccer, as they already know, is not about merits or assumptions. Therefore, this is one of the things that soccer can offer and one of the most bitter, although this is the sport we all love.
