The opponent does not find Eden Hazard to be a very dangerous player any longer. There is no doubt in my mind that his time is coming to an end, and it certainly feels like it is. He has not been performing well at all lately, and when he had the chance to increase his confidence, he missed that opportunity as well, and now he has no confidence at all because his performance has not been that good recently.
Everything is good right now for Barcelona because they have won their match against Real Sociedad and everything is going well for the team. Even so, I would still like to say that Barcelona still does not have a good defense which I feel is a matter of concern. In my opinion, that is going to remain the case for a long time to come. I do not expect that they will spend money on bringing in defenders this season, at least not this season.
Since Hazard's arrival at Real Madrid he seems to be a different player, a player different from the Hazard that was the strength and key player for Chelsea, rather he has recorded a series of injuries every season which has affected his performance drastically and he has also lost his confidence. Barcelona's defense still looks shaky and Xavi has showed disappointment in the management for Kounde not being registered until now. I think it is very important and should be regarded as a top priority to get Kounde registered so he can play and balance the back line.
Since moving to Real Madrid Hazard's form has continued to decline, as you said he's become a different player. Even when Real Madrid beat
Celta Vigo, Eden Hazard missed a penalty, whereas Benzema, who was the main penalty taker, showed an extraordinary attitude by allowing Hazard
to take the penalty kick. But the opportunity was wasted after Hazard's penalty was saved by the Celta Vigo goalkeeper. This shows how Eden Hazard
has lost his confidence. Fortunately Ancelotti is very wise and still defends Hazard, saying Hazard is still in the process of rediscovering his best form.
But I don't think Hazard will ever find his best form in La Liga, because it seems that La Liga's style of play doesn't suit him. The best solution
in my opinion Hazard is to move back to the Premier League, where Hazard has proven to be finding his best game with Chelsea.
Then regarding Barcelona's defense, I think it's quite solid, in two games in La Liga only conceded 1 goal, it shows Barcelona's defense is quite solid.
But it's much better if Jules Kounde can be played immediately, it will make Barcelona's defense stronger and maybe it can become a team with
the best defense in La Liga. But to be able to register Kounde it looks like Barcelona are waiting for Depay and Aubameyang to move to other clubs,
but I believe Barcelona can register Kounde before the transfer window closes.
