‘He’s done an Eden Hazard’ – Everton player criticised for being out of touch

Chelsea face Manchester City in the Champions League final at the weekend, after Thomas Tuchel’s side knocked Real Madrid out of the competition.

Following the second leg, Eden Hazard was seen laughing and joking with several Chelsea players. including Kurt Zouma and César Azpilicueta. That didn’t go down very well with the media close to Madrid, and now there’s a claim from Colombia that James Rodriguez has done something similar.

Writing for Marca Claro, Carlos Gonzalez says ‘He’s done an Eden Hazard’, when referring to the Everton player flying off on a private jet despite missing multiple games through injury.

Gonzalez says he’s a ‘big defender’ of the Everton star, but completely understands fans of the club who became annoyed after seeing the pictures, stating Rodriguez missed a batch of games and then ‘seems to be alright to rush back to Colombia to join up with the national team’.

Despite Carlo Ancelotti giving Rodriguez permission to travel, Gonzalez believes the footballer should have waited until after Everton’s match against Manchester City, and adds: ‘I don’t know if anyone is advising him or not, but it seems like he’s living in his own world, far from reality.’
