http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2283421/ Hazard: I love being in the headlines.. as long as it's for the right reasons! By Rob Draper - PUBLISHED:22:58 GMT, 23 February 2013 Eden Hazard is refreshingly frank when the question comes. He is, after all, an attacking, creative player who wants to seize the initiative in a game. And it is for such moments of individual match-winning brilliance that Chelsea paid ￡32million for the Belgian. Moments like the dummy turn inside the Sparta Prague defender followed by the emphatic left-footed drive into the top corner in the 92nd minute of Thursday night's Europa League game. Here is a man who clearly craves headlines. 'I think being totally honest, yes,' he says when asked if he enjoys the spotlight. 'Every player loves to see his name in the headlines: "Hazard has just done this!" You're totally aware it's a team sport and it's all about the group. But it's nice to feature in the sports headlines.' Those headlines, however, are invariably a double-edged sword. The magnificence and importance of his strike on Thursday night, securing a narrow win and saving Chelsea from a second embarrassing European exit in a season, is the type of exposure to which he is referring. But only a month ago there was the less heroic episode of being sent off for kicking a Swansea ball boy, although it was later accepted Hazard was aiming his kick at the ball, which was being smothered by a 17-year-old who had boasted about time-wasting ahead of the Capital One Cup semi-final. Hazard apologised but the furore and front-page coverage taught him the level of scrutiny he is now likely to attract. 'I suppose it does go to prove the size of the club Chelsea are and that people pay attention to every detail, to good incidents and the less good incidents,' he said. 'That obviously wasn't a good incident but hopefully it's in the past. But it does draw attention to the fact that any slight thing is taken note of the world over. You have to be careful.' The flipside is Hazard, at 22, is establishing a reputation in England at the forefront of a younger generation of creative players. Every time he produces a moment like Thursday night - and they are accumulating now, with 10 goals this season and 10 assists in the Premier League and European action - he takes a step towards fulfilling his potential, in which Chelsea invested so heavily last summer. Today he will have the chance to do the same again at Manchester City and it is a role he relishes. 'Probably when we were kids we all dreamed about dribbling round the entire side and then scoring, doing nutmegs all over the field, but in reality it's not like that. Some of us grow up to be goalies, defenders. Fortunately I've been in the position of being a forward, so I at least get the chance to do decisive things further up the field.' France does not need to be convinced of this talent. He left Brainele-Comte in Belgium at 14 to play for Lille, the French city just 60 miles from home. As such he is almost an adopted Frenchman; he was voted player of the year in France in 2011 and 2012. Married to Natasha with two children, he is the eldest of four footballing brothers. Thorgan, 19, also signed for Chelsea last summer but was loaned to Zulte Waregem, now second in the Belgian league; Kylian is 17 and with Lille; Ethan, 8, plays in Belgium. All were nurtured by footballing parents. His mother Carine played in the Belgian first division - appropriately, as Hazard is promoting a girls' football project for Chelsea - and his dad, Thierry, was a semi-pro. He says he is 'proud' his mum played football - even, for three months, while she was pregnant with him - although he adds: 'I've had a bit of stick from everyone, not just my team-mates, because football is a so-called male sport.' He is mercifully spared a tactical dressing-down from mum at the end of games. She is, it seems, a typical mother. 'She only sees good in me!' he said. 'She always told me I was the best. But with my dad it's different obviously, because he also played and has been a manager. He gives me proper analysis, he tells me how it is and if I played badly.' From the long queue of major clubs, including today's opponents Manchester City, interested in signing him last summer, he opted for the European champions, not perhaps expecting to be a Europa League contender and with his second manager already. It is fair to say the intensity of life at Chelsea is a step up from Lille. 'I suppose the big thing has been that it's almost forbidden to lose. You realise that you're at such a big club when you see the demands are so high. I guess the fact that victory is an absolute must has been one change.' The physicality of the Premier League has been less of an issue. English first seasons are typically mixed for foreign flair players but 34 starts indicates his durability. It has been helped, Hazard believes, by his judo training as a boy. 'I'm light on my feet. I did judo as a kid, so I know how to fall,' he said. 'I used to get quite a few physically tough games in France. I haven't found it too much more demanding. The difference is the intensity. There's no dead time, no breathing space in the game. It's one hundred per cent all the time. In a French league game, you might pass the ball around for five minutes, let the defence handle things for a few minutes and have a rest up front.' Then there is coping with the hostility towards the new manager, Rafa Benitez, from the club's own fans. 'When you're out there on the field you can hear what's going on from the stands, if there's any booing or jeering,' said Hazard. 'But you're so concentrated on the game itself or doing your best for the manager, because we're fine with the manager. Obviously you have to respect the fans' opinions but I don't think it affects us, because we're just focused on the job in hand.' If he keeps doing his job, as he did on Thursday night against Sparta Prague, those headlines will invariably be positive. -- http://jamescaesar.pixnet.net/album/photo/110781933 永遠以摸過它為榮 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.136.85.216
