Former Belgium captain Eden Hazard has shared his thoughts on his former "Real Madrid" teammate Vinicius Junior. Having spent four seasons together at the Spanish club, Hazard believes the Brazilian forward possesses incredible mental and physical strength to handle the immense pressure placed upon him. Reports goal.com.
Hazard expressed concern that the public focuses too much on Vinicius's off-pitch life rather than his exceptional football skills. In a recent interview, the retired star admitted he would not be surprised if the Brazilian decided to quit professional football by the age of 30 due to the constant scrutiny and controversies surrounding him.
Despite the challenges, Hazard sees a lot of himself in the young forward, noting that Vinicius simply loves the game and wants to have fun on the pitch. However, he advised his former teammate to be careful, as critics are always waiting for him to make a mistake.
To illustrate his point, Hazard compared Vinicius to the legendary Ronaldinho. He pointed out that while Ronaldinho also danced and celebrated joyfully after scoring, he managed to do so without attracting the same level of negative controversy. Hazard urged Vinicius to keep entertaining true football fans while navigating the heavy expectations.
