eden hazard

hello, today I will be looking at Eden Hazards development from a young boy from Belgian to "the best young player in the world" Much has been said about the Belgian national teams 'golden era' where they find themselves well equiped with young attacking talent.

it seems as though hazard had everything needed to succeed at football,Hazard was born in La Louviere and grew up in Braine-le-cointe His mother, Carine, and father, Thierry were both footballers. His father spent most of his career playing at semi-professional  level with La Louviere in the Belgian second division He played mainly as a defensive midielder His mother played as a striker in the belgian womens first deivision.

Their family home was next door to the Royal Stade Brainois training pitch, he had hoped over a fence and was practicing his penalties. he was caught by the manager who was watching him for ten minutes and was very impressed with him, sensing he was in trouble the young Hazard sprinted home and got a shock when the Manager came knocking on his door inviting him to train with the junior team.

during his time at the club During his time at the club, one of his youth coaches described him as a "gifted" player. He added: "He knew everything. I had nothing to teach him"
When Hazard was just eight he played with the club in a youth tournament and there were scouts from RFC Tubize there who asked his parents to sign him. His father said he was too young to make that move but when he was older he would.
when Hazard was 10 he moved to Tubize which was only 30 miles from his home in Belgium.
When Hazard was 13 and playing on full size ptches, word started to spread about the Belgian prodigy 
"Clubs were contacting us all the time, and Lille were turning up to virtually every game he played. We knew we were about to lose him, and it was always likely to be Lille. It’s only half-an-hour away by train, and their academy even included a boarding school. The boys eat, sleep and learn there. It was ideal, and, at 15, we had to say goodbye to him."
Hazard was quickly improving at Lille and was quickly promoted to their reserve team aged just 16 and still playing for the u-18 team. 
After appearing in a friendly against Belgian club Brugge still aged 16, he made the 18 man squad for their cup game against Nancy and subsequently made his competitive debut for the club after coming on as a 78th minute substitute.
the next season Hazard was given the number 26 shirt and was permanently promoted to the senior team.

He often made substitute appearances for Lille and became a rotational player. One of his substitute appearances proved beneficial against Auxerre on 20 September. With Lille trailing 2–1 in the waning minutes of the match, Hazard, after Lille took a corner quickly scooped up a short clearance from Auxerre and took a right-footed shot just outside the box. It beat the keeper and drew the score 2–2 in the 88th minute. Lille went on to win 3-2.

In the summer of the 08-09 season there was constant speculation about Hazards future with various clubs being linked with a move for the then 18 year old with French legend, Zinedine Zidane personally recomending the youngster to Real Madrid.

Hazard has had a very quick rise to the top with plenty of speculation about him. In 2012 he signed for English  club Chelsea for £32 million pounds and has gone on leaps and bounds since then mainly thanks to Jose Mourinho who has been trying to turn him into one of the top footballers in the world.

at only 23 he certainly has the potential to one day win the Balon D'or which he himself has said would be a dream come true.
