Mayor of Middelkerke in the north of Belgium and former Olympics judo coach Jean-Marie Dedecker has brutally slammed Eden Hazard.
Speaking to Krant van West-Vlaanderen (h/t Tribal Football), he said: "All that whining in the press about Hazard.
"He's just a little fat guy who got fat because of the money and the system.
"I can still see him running away when Georges Leekens replaced him [back in 2011] and he went to eat a hamburger near the King Baudouin stadium!"
Hazard's spell at Real Madrid has been an absolute nightmare and the 2021/22 campaign — which was the forward's last shot at redemption — is going even worse.
The 31-year-old former Chelsea has featured in 16 games across all competitions so far this season (just 722 minutes of action), scoring two goals and providing one assist.
