His 2018 World Cup, I'll never forget the vibes.
@THEREALBRAND After the Brazil QF game, I remember reading Globo etc, translating the match reviews and comments for a solid hour. The praise for Hazardinho was flooding in and I was eating that shyt up like crazy.
Don't know what Ozil's excuse is but Hazard took physical punishment for over a decade, Madrid mismanaged his final big injury and he never recovered.
10+ years of getting your knees and ankles kicked because that's the only way they could stop him. That eventually took its toll.
Never seen an elite attacker play a whole calendar year and not score a goal, then eat his way out of the game.

He had a back injury that he never got right from. Arsenal fans tend to forget that because we thought he wasn't playing away games.
He ended up getting back surgery in Turkey a year or so after leaving.
My killer Hazard, the memories, what a player

Yeah.Did not know this.
As they say, bad backs don't get better.
A lot of Arsenal fans really thought he was trolling the club during Wenger's last season by missing some games, but when they said back injury, it all clicked for me. Man wasn't moving the same on the pitch.
Ex Arsenal star Mesut Ozil reveals that his back surgery 'went well'
Former Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has revealed that surgery on his back 'went well' after going under the knife on the issue that has caused him to miss over 30 games in the last four years.
I think he never played again after the back surgery.

to Hazard. In my personal top 5 LW’s in EPL history and arguably one of the most unplayable players I’ve seen.
Hazard Goal vs Spurs will forever be 
It’s sad seeing Pogba go out like this
At this rate he’s going to be more remembered for f%ckery than his football.

Hazard was lazy and fat at Madrid. Never came in shape and thank god he didn’t pan out or Vini would have never had a chance
