Eden Hazard and Thorgan Hazard are one of the most famous sibling duos in football.
While the Belgium captain follows his trade with Chelsea in London, Thorgan is currently on the books of Bundesliga giants Borussia Monchengladbach.
In an interview, the 25-year-old talked about his desire to play with Eden for a club but insisted that it would be difficult and that he’s happy with being together with him in the Belgian national team.

“I’m a different type of player than my brother,” he said, according to Bulinews. “Eden is one of the best players in the world. When I played for The Blues, I was too young to make the big jump. Chelsea is a huge club with outstanding players.”
“For me, the decision to play for a different team was better. We play together at the Belgian national team although we are unfortunately not always on the pitch at the same time. It feels good to play for your country with your own brother.”
“But in all honesty, it would be very difficult for me to play for the same club as my brother. He is a bigger player than me. I can learn from him and still have a lot to work on. We don’t talk much about football… We rather talk about the family and the children. We have contact almost every day, but football is not the big issue.”
Eden Hazard is a much better player than Thorgan so it seems very unlikely that they might be able to start together for the same club.
Maybe if Mourinho’s treatment of youngsters at Chelsea was fair and rational, we may have seen them play but it wasn’t to be. The 27-year-old might soon move to Real Madrid who might be least interested in his brother.
