Chelsea have endured a rough time this season on and off the field. From Mourinho’s sacking to the abject loss of Hazard’s form, nothing has gone right for the Blues since they lifted the trophy on the last day of the last season.
A very disappointing season now means the club is in danger of losing a number of its star players including the like of Eden Hazard.
The Belgian who has found it hard to get settled into the team this season is yet to score a Premier League but his dip of form has not seen any change in the number of rumors concerning.
The 25-year old was linked to Real Madrid in the past but recently French outfit PSG look like the most likely club to sign the playmaker.
One the eve of the game against PSG in the Champions League, Eden Hazard in an interview stated that he would find it hard to turn down an offer from the Paris franchise and the timing of his comments has seen strong reactions from Manchester United legend Roy Keane.
Hazard mentioned the Champions League as the reason he might make the move and Keane slammed the Belgian saying the he acted like a ‘spoiled brat’ and that he brought the morale of the team down just before the big game against PSG.
Chelsea eventually lost 2-1 and the 25-year old was blamed for his performance or the lack of it by fans and pundits alike.
Keane, talking to ITV said, “I really can’t understand these players. He signed an extension last year to his contract for another five years. We saw how good he was last year”,
Hazard extended his contract last season and signed to stay at Chelsea till 2020 but a better offer from a European supergiant might lure him away from London.
“And then he’s coming out with all that nonsense on the eve of a big, big game.
“If I was one of his team-mates I’d kick him up and down the training pitch. Some of the senior players have got to get hold of him”, the 44-year-old further said.
Hazard has also been recently accused of not giving his 100% and there were reports that the team felt that his attitude towards the club has changed. Keane also mentioned that the 25-year old with all his talent has an attitude problem.
“A talented, talented boy but his attitude, even last night, he’s like a spoilt child. It’s absolutely ridiculous.”
However, all these conversations make more sense in the summer but at the moment, the Belgian and his club should get ready for a tough fight in the second leg of the Round of 16 encounter in the Champions League against PSG on 9th March.
