Eden HazardĀ has responded to criticism fromĀ Toni KroosĀ about the Belgian’s underwhelming stint atĀ Real Madrid. The winger was, at his peak, one of the most unstoppable players in the Premier League during his time atĀ Chelsea. This led to him securing his dream move to SpainĀ in a deal worth Ā£88.5m.
Brought in to be the heir replacement to Cristiano Ronaldo, Hazard failed to meet expectations for a number of different reasons, including poor form, injuries and weight-related issues. His disappointing spell was felt not just by fans but his teammates too, with Kroos eluding to the fact thatĀ the 33-year-old was a bad transfer and let his career fade to black at the Bernabeu.Ā Now, the 2015 PFA Player of the Year has responded to the midfielder’s critique in a fashion that only he could.
The Belgian was undeterred by his former teammate’s harsh words
Speaking on ‘The Obi One podcast’ with John Obi Mikel, Hazard was asked about his thoughts on the World Cup winner’s comments. True to form, the attacker responded with a grin splattered across his face. He told the hosts:
“No [on if he gives harsh comments any time of day]. You know, he came to my house yesterday to pick up his kid. There is no problem with that.
“John Obi Mikel talked ******** with me and I am still doing his podcast. I don’t care man. They can think what they want. Not a problem. I can sleep.”
