Did all of us notice what has changed in Hazard’s game last night? The pace or the movement off the ball, the dribbles or his trickery juggles, the shoots or his quirky feet?
None of the above. It was the celebration that had to be stopped because of his consistent slides on the field which has already bruised his legs severely more than once. The delight of scoring goals does get a buzz out of you and with Hazard that came out from his slides.
This guy scores a lot of goals. And if he keeps on sliding every time he scores, it will be sooner than expected that we see him coming with kneecaps on his legs.
Every time as an audience, if you are sitting behind the corner spot, you know he is coming to reap out his joy of scoring by his slides of the knee.
The bruises have increased to such an extent that Belgian international has now vowed not to slide ever again. We surely will see that thumping jumps of his and we can even expect a celebration move coming from the man with dancing shoes.
The Belgian has to stop his knees getting on fire if he needs to keep the fans burning.
Talking to Chelsea Tv, Hazard said while gesturing at his knees, “ I need to stop this.”
“My knees- they are on fire. No more of this celebration.”
Hazard, we don’t wish to see you sliding anymore but we do expect you, scoring ceaselessly and in considerable number.
