Eden Hazard defended Vinícius and warned about pressure

Former captain of the Belgian national team, Eden Hazard, shared his thoughts on former teammate Vinicius Junior, with whom he played for four seasons at "Real Madrid". Zamin.uz reported on this.

He emphasized that the Brazilian forward is mentally and physically strong enough to overcome the immense pressure placed upon him. Hazard expressed concern that, alongside Vinicius's on-field skills, too much attention is being paid to his life off the pitch.

In a recent interview, the former footballer stated that he would not be surprised if Vinicius decided to retire from professional football before turning 30 due to the constant attention and criticism surrounding him. Nevertheless, Hazard sees himself in the young forward and greatly appreciates his gameplay and enjoyment on the field.

He advised his former teammate to be cautious, as critics are always waiting for him to make a mistake. Hazard compared Vinicius to the legendary footballer Ronaldinho.

According to him, Ronaldinho also scored goals, danced, and celebrated with joy, yet such moments did not lead to negative controversies. Hazard expects Vinicius to overcome heavy expectations and continue delighting true football fans.
