‘I have to talk! Eden Hazard reveals best way to get out of Lukaku struggling at Chelsea
In Chelsea last match against Brighton, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was so frustrated about Lukaku’s performance as the Blues continue to struggling.
However, a frustrated Thomas Tuchel said after the second Brighton draw this season: “I will not talk about single players. Today isn’t about Romelu. There are too many questions about Romelu and too many answers about Romelu. Romelu is by far not the problem, he is part of the solution,”
Meanwhile, Eden Hazard has already approved the moment Romelu Lukaku confronted Hakim Ziyech in Chelsea’s draw against Brighton as the Belgian winger believes this is the key to unlocking the club record signing.
The Blues broke the deadlock in the 28th minute at the Amex Stadium through Ziyech, who fired a powerful low strike past Robert Sanchez.
However, the Moroccan playmaker refused to celebrate, casually walking away after he had seen the ball go into the back of the net.
And club-record signing Lukaku was then seen visibly frustrated when the former Ajax star was unable to play a pass behind the Brighton defence, playing it to the Belgian’s feet instead, later in the half.
Their conversation didn’t end there either as the two forwards continued to talk when the half-time whistle blew, with Lukaku appearing to explain where he wanted his teammate to play the ball as they headed down the tunnel.
It’s a chain chain of incidents that had Chelsea fans worried alongside Alan Shearer about the potential squad unrest that is going on behind the scenes at this current moment, but Hazard has already squashed these worries with his own admission about one of the players involved in this heated exchange.
Furthermore, Hazard and Lukaku both have good rapport from their international relationship with the Belgium Red Devils but that said connection has been tested over the years.
There was one moment when the Chelsea club legend accused the Blues’ number 9 of ‘hiding’ in Belgium’s 2018 World Cup opener against Panama- a confrontation that actually got the best out of the current ‘unhappy’ striker.
Hazard told FIFA via FotMob three years ago: “I didn’t want to say that I was well within my rights to confront him, because I’m not always right,”
“But I think we saw a different Romelu in the second half with his two goals [against Panama].
“I don’t tend to talk a lot, but if I have to then I’ll do it.
“There are some players you can be a little more direct with and others you have to approach in a different way.”
