In the early morning of May 7, Beijing time, the 2022/23 Spanish Copa del Rey final kicked off, with Real Madrid defeating Osasuna 2-1 and lifting the Copa del Rey trophy again after nine years. Belgian star Eden Hazard did not get a chance to play this time, but this did not prevent him from lifting his eighth trophy since joining Real Madrid and successfully achieving the club Grand Slam. Such good luck is estimated to make British emperor Harry Kane tearfully withdraw from the group chat.
The 32-year-old has only played nine games for Real Madrid this season, starting three of them in all competitions, scoring one goal and two assists, while in La Liga he has only made one start and received one assist. With Real Madrid's highest salary, he has been completely reduced to the fringe of the team. Eden Hazard, however, is one of the few players to prove that selection is greater than effort.
In the summer of 2019, Eden Hazard, who had only one year left on his contract with Chelsea, moved to Real Madrid, who paid him a huge transfer fee of up to 160 million euros and awarded the number 7 shirt he had worn on Cristiano Ronaldo. It is clear that Real Madrid want the former Chelsea number one star to carry the team's attacking banner. However, Eden Hazard, who has thrived in the Premier League, has been mired in an endless series of injuries since arriving at Real Madrid, with an appallingly low attendance rate. So far, the Belgian star has played a total of 75 games for Real Madrid, with seven goals and 12 assists, the good news is that he has finally scraped together five goals, and even better, Eden Hazard has achieved a club Grand Slam.
In the nearly four seasons since joining Real Madrid, Hazard has won 8 official competitions with the team, including 2 La Liga, 2 Spanish Super Cups, 1 Champions League, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 1 Club World Cup and 1 Spanish Copa del Rey, achieving achievements that countless professional players cannot achieve. More money, less life, more honor, such a beautiful thing in life, where to find.
British star Harry Kane, who currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur, is another extreme example compared to Eden Hazard. The 29-year-old has played 426 games for Tottenham in all competitions, scoring an astonishing 274 goals and 64 assists and winning the Premier League Golden Boot three times. However, despite this, Kane's honor room is still empty, with only two unofficial titles, the Audi Cup and the International Champions Cup. With Tottenham out of three cup competitions this season and the Premier League only fighting for the top four, Kane once again ushers in a season full of four is a foregone conclusion.
Kane is empty-handed because he plays for a team that is not interested in the title and is only obsessed with competing in the top four of the Premier League in the Champions League, so if he wants to win the title in his lifetime, Kane's only option is to leave White Hart Lane and join a more competitive team with championship dreams. Eden Hazard has set an example for him, and it's up to Kane to make his decisions this summer.
