Eden Hazard’s Chelsea troubles gather pace as Real Madrid links intensify

Eden Hazards Chelsea troubles gather pace as Real Madrid links intensify [Papers]

One of the big pre-match talking points is centred on Eden Hazard, after the Belgium was surprisingly left out of Chelsea’s side in the 2-0 win over Aston Villa last weekend.

Jose Mourinho has since explained that Hazard was dropped for defensive work-rate reasons, and in the build-up to the Kiev challenge, the Special One has reiterated that he needs more production from one of his star playmakers.
The whole saga is a major downturn for Hazard, whom Jose Mourinho not so long ago compared to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The splashes of a handful of Tuesday’s papers carry warnings for Hazard, who is told he need to shape up to lock down a first team place with the Blues.
While Hazard continues to receive negative headlines, the Mirror also reference the 24-year-old’s activity on Instagram on Monday, as the Belgium ‘liked’ a post linking him with Real Madrid.
Could Hazard actually leave Stamford Bridge for the Santiago Bernabeu?

As a result, there was always going to keen interest in exactly how Ronaldo and Messi fare. And, well, three games in and their form is diametrically opposed. Ronaldo is in the running for the Golden Boot after scoring four goals in his opening two fixtures, including a stunning hat-trick against a hotly fancied Spain team. MESSI VS RONALDO DEBATE Meanwhile, Messi just found the back of the net in Russia only in his last outing vs Nigeria and missed a vital penalty in the 1-1 draw with Iceland. These developments led to a spike in support for Ronaldo to be considered the greatest of all time, with this summer exemplifying his brilliant form over the last few years.
