Renowned for his exceptional skills‌ on the pitch, Zinedine Zidane⁣ has previously revealed ⁢that his ‌third ‌favorite player ⁣to admire in action, following Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, is ⁢Eden Hazard. ​This appreciation comes from a football legend ​himself.

A Midfield Maestro’s Journey

Zidane’s credentials as one of the game’s ⁢all-time greatest midfielders are firmly established⁤ through his illustrious career ⁣with clubs like Cannes, Bordeaux, ⁢Juventus, and Real Madrid. His list‌ of honors includes prestigious​ trophies such as ‍La Liga titles and multiple⁤ UEFA⁤ Champions ‌League victories.

Transition to Management Success

After ‌hanging up his boots, Zidane transitioned into management with remarkable success. ​He steered⁢ Real Madrid to an unprecedented three consecutive⁤ Champions League ‍titles⁣ during his tenure⁢ at the club.

The Rise and Challenges​ of Eden Hazard

In 2015, during a‍ segment reported⁢ by TNT Sports, Zidane expressed admiration for Eden⁣ Hazard: “Following Ronaldo and Messi, my favorite player is⁢ Hazard. Watching him ⁤play is nothing ‌short ​of mesmerizing.”⁢ He further⁣ remarked on the ⁣joy of seeing Hazard ‍at ​Real Madrid while expressing confidence in the Belgian’s ability to⁤ regain ‍peak performance.

A Stellar ⁤Career Before Joining Madrid

Eden Hazard emerged⁢ as one ⁤of football’s brightest talents early in his ​career with Lille OSC before ⁤making waves in England upon joining ‌Chelsea in 2012. His time at Stamford Bridge saw him blossom ⁣into one⁤ of the world’s ⁣top players, leading to significant interest ⁣from Spain’s elite teams.

High Expectations Turned Disappointing Reality

In 2019, he transferred⁢ to​ Real Madrid for a staggering​ fee reported around €100 million—a deal expected to ‍elevate both player and club⁣ alike. However, injuries plagued Hazard throughout much of his time in Spain severely affecting his form on the field.

The Conclusion⁤ of an ⁢Era

Regrettably for⁤ both player ‍and fans alike, what ‍was initially viewed as a crowning achievement instead turned ⁤into a ⁤bittersweet chapter ⁣due to persistent injuries that sidelined⁢ him significantly during key moments.⁣ After leaving⁤ Madrid‌ in summer 2023—and ultimately announcing retirement ⁣later that ​October—Hazard ⁤concluded an impressive yet⁤ challenging phase at​ age 32.

Throughout his illustrious career​ across various competitions spanning over more than a decade, Eden Hazard made an impressive total of 635⁣ appearances leading⁢ to scoring opportunities resulting in‍ 168 goals from club matches ⁣alone.
On the​ international front representing Belgium—he earned capped status alongside⁤ scoring accolades tallying up over three ​dozen ⁢goals after being selected for national duty ⁢on numerous occasions (126‍ caps).
