After much drama, Eden Hazard decided to opt for the new European champions Chelsea FC in a move that infuriated fans of both Manchester clubs who thought that the Belgian was Manchester bound as he said
Finally it is official that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 would most certainly be wearing the blue colour next season. After much drama and speculation, the highly-rated midfielder chose to join English Premier League side Chelsea FC.
Yesterday morning, the youngster updated on his twitter account that he has made up his mind and said that he will let the world know where he would be heading in a short while. Throughout the rest of the day, Eden Hazard to Chelsea became the trend of the day as users kept on giving their insight on where the Belgian protégée will be heading.
However, there are many people who still feel that Eden Hazard stepped too much out of the line by giving hope to both Manchester City and Manchester United. Many Manchester clubs’ fans are outraged at the youngster’s decision and blame him for going back on his words.
A few weeks back, the now-former Lille star said that he will be joining either of the two Manchester clubs. Both Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 had personally come to see the youngster play for Lille in two separate games.
Champions League victory, a turning point
Though there has been no official confirmation from either Lille or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 regarding a transfer deal, it’s only a matter of time before the transfer window opens and Hazard officially becomes another big signing made by the recently-crowned European champions.
A few days back, before Chelsea played the final of the UEFA Champions League against Bayern Munich, there were no signs that they were leading the race for the signing of Hazard. However, Chelsea’s penalty-shootout victory over the Germans at the Allianz Arena changed the complexion of the game.
The European adventure has clearly impacted Hazard’s choice and one can only wonder if Chelsea would have been able to sign the talented midfielder had they not become European champions. At Manchester United and Manchester City, Hazard would always have the assurance of playing in the UCL.
Many people still feel that Hazard would never have a great chance of developing into a huge star at Stamford Bridge. And, the way Chelsea change managers on a regular basis, it will never be possible for a young player like Hazard to settle into a rhythm.
Under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, Eden Hazard certainly would have been in capable hands. The Scot has single-handedly turned talented players into world class athletes. The likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432 are just few examples of players who owe it to the shrewd Scot for making them global superstars.
At United, Hazard would always have the chance of playing a big role in every game he played. Moreover, alongside the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Valencia-c6345, Hazard would have flourished.
Choice of not giving much thought on Manchester City maybe considered a wise one as Hazard may have struggled for game-time.
Mangerial musical chair media scrutiny
Currently, Chelsea do not really know if Roberto Di Matteo will be a long-term manager at the club. Managerial musical chair undermines a club’s ambitions and Hazard might have a lot of problems in terms of development if this trend continues at Chelsea.
English media is never an easy proposition for a new player especially if that player is a big-money transfer – a fact that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 can well relate to. Hazard’s first mission at Chelsea would be to make sure that he always stay on the good books of the tabloid media who would be sniffing at every opportunity to crucify him.
