Real Madrid star Eden Hazard has admitted he was surprised that ex-Belgium boss Roberto Martinez opted to play him ahead of Arsenal forward Leandro Trossard during the World Cup.
Trossard, who joined the Gunners a few weeks after the World Cup ended, started just one match in Qatar, something that surprised Hazard considering the excellent season the former was having. When asked if he felt hurt by people suggesting his time with the national team was coming to an end, Hazard told RTBF, via The Metro: "Not at all.
"We were talking about the name of Leandro Trossard to replace me, he was having a good season. Even I wondered why I had to play when he had to go on the bench. It’s normal for people to think that.
