Hazard ... the "glass player" turned into a puzzle for Real Madrid

The curse of injuries has surrounded Belgian football star Eden Hazard since his move to Real Madrid in the summer of 2019, and has put him outside the framework expected of him after years of brilliance in the ranks of Chelsea, England.

Real had resorted to contracting with Hazard in the summer of 2019 to compensate him for the departure of Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus, which led to the team's empty-handed exit from all championships in the 2018/2019 season, after tightening its grip on the Champions League title for three consecutive seasons.

Last season, however, Hazard appeared as a ghost of what he was with Chelsea because of the many injuries that chased him, and he is still in the current season until his title became "the glass player", and for more than 18 months since the announcement of the Real Madrid contract with him on the seventh of June 2019 until now Hazard skipped the ranks most of the time

And after Hazard suffered more than one injury in his first months with the team in 2019, the player's injuries crisis worsened in 2020, depriving Real of the player's efforts in many more matches than he played with the team.

Consecutive injuries became the motto of Hazard with Real, to the extent that the talented Belgian player contributed little with Real to winning the Spanish League title last season.

According to the famous "Transfer Market" website, the player's statistics in 2020 indicate the extent of the suffering from injury and losses incurred by the Real from this deal, which was supposed to be the appropriate compensation for Ronaldo's departure.

During the 20 matches Real Madrid fought in the Spanish League in 2020 as part of the last season's activities, Hazard participated in only eight matches and seated in two matches.

During those eight matches, Hazard's total played was just 478 minutes and he failed to score any goals and only scored three goals for his team-mates.

Hazard missed the three matches that the team fought in the Copa del Rey last season during 2020, in addition to the team’s two matches in the Spanish Super Cup, while he played only 83 minutes in one of the team’s two matches in the 16th European Champions League last season.

And this season, he has played just 162 minutes in three of the six matches the team played in the European Champions League group stage, during which he scored one goal.

In the 15 matches Real Madrid have fought so far in the Spanish league, Hazard played just 153 minutes in three matches and sat up in one game and scored one goal in the three matches.

Thus, the total amount that Hazard played with Real in 2020 over the past and current seasons combined is 631 minutes in 11 league games, with a reserve in three other matches, as he scored one goal and scored three goals.

In the European Champions League, he played 245 minutes in four of the eight matches the team fought in the tournament during 2020 over the past and current seasons, during which Hazard scored one goal.

On the other hand, Hazard, due to injuries or infection with the "Corona" virus, missed 30 games for the team other than the matches in which he sat in reserve, out of a total of 48 matches fought by the Real in various tournaments during 2020. During the periods in which he got rid of the infection and participated in the matches with the Real In a few matches, Hazard showed the level he was with Chelsea in the past, which is evident through his scoring record or even in goal making.

With the player still suffering from injuries, Hazard may become one of the candidates to leave Real Madrid as soon as possible, especially as the team is looking forward to regaining the European title on the one hand and defending its title in the Spanish League.
