Belgian national team striker, Eden Hazard officially retired from international level after failing to bring The Rode -the nickname of the Belgian national team – to do much at the 2022 World Cup. The Real Madrid player has made 126 caps and scored 33 goals.
Yes, the Belgian national team failed miserably at the 2022 World Cup. Eden Hazard and colleagues had to pick up their suitcases early after only finishing third in the final Group F standings.
Belgium joins Croatia, Morocco and Canada. Looking at the teams in the group, of course The Rode has a high chance of advancing to the last 16.
In fact, they just shattered. Of the three matches, Belgium was only able to win one win, while the other two matches were marked by one draw and one defeat.
From these results, Belgium pocketed four points. They are one point adrift of Croatia in second place and three points from Morocco at the top of the standings.
Eden Hazard also appeared in all three matches. Unfortunately, he was unable to contribute more to Belgium.
Aware of his declining quality and performance, Hazard reportedly retired from international level. Reporting from brfootball, Wednesday (7/12/2022), he announced that he was hanging up his boots at the age of 31.
Eden Hazard’s performance has indeed declined since joining Real Madrid. He spends more time in the treatment room due to always smothering injuries.
