Retired from the field since 2023, Eden Hazard could have signed… with FC Barcelona. The former Real Madrid player had impressed Bojan Krkić Sr., former recruiter for the Catalan club. The father of the former Barça nugget went to watch him during the European Under-17 Championship. After leading Belgium to the final (lost against Bojan’s Spain), he joined Lille. Even if he recognizes the talent of the native of La Louvière, he hardly appreciated his attitude, as he himself reported in a broadcast of the Cadena Ser.
“ I went to see him play against Montpellier. It was August and during the warm-up, a player was missing. Everyone was in short sleeves and (Eden) Hazard came out in a tracksuit. The team was together for the warm-up, he was on the opposite side, they were stretching, he was looking at the stands. He played well, but I didn’t like his attitude. I went to see him three days later against Angers. He was on the bench, like the other starters. Everyone was warming up and walking to him. The fitness coach would tell them to stretch and he would watch the game. I put ‘excluded’ in the report. These type of players, who are very good, showed me that they did not give results, both when they were my teammates and when I was a recruiter for Barça… “, explained Bojan Krkić Sr. Eden Hazard will finally wear the jersey of the rival club, in the following years, after having triumphed at Lille and Chelsea. Without ever imposing yourself.
