New Real Madrid signing tells Eden Hazard that he ‘grew up watching his videos on YouTube’
Real Madrid’s new signing Takefusa Kubo has revealed that he is a big fan of Eden Hazard, admitting that he “grew up watching his videos on YouTube.”
The former FC Tokyo star was previously a product of FC Barcelona’s famed youth academy La Masia, but he rejected interest from the Catalans to join their arch-rivals in the La Liga.
And now, a heartwarming video of the 18-year-old meeting his new teammate and Belgian superstar Eden Hazard has now surfaced and it shoes Kubo telling him how he used to watch his videos on YouTube to try and learn to become a better footballer.As you can see, Eden Hazard who was quite jovial as usual, congratulates him before bursting out laughing.
And later on, a reporter appears to ask Hazard: “And then he plays really well?” to which the Belgian replies: “Well, if he watches my videos then of course”.
Takefusa Kubo joined Real Madrid for a reported fee of €2million. His idol also joined Los Blancos this season, for a price that is exactly fifty times more than Kubo’s sign-on fee.
The former Chelsea star ended his stint at the Premier League club in 2019 June, after winning the 2018-19 UEFA Europa League with them. Chelsea defeated Arsenal 4-1 in the finals and Hazard himself was adjudged the man of the final, thanks to a goal and an assist recorded by him in the game.
Liverpool fans will love what Eden Hazard had to say about Virgil van Dijk
Eden Hazard joined Real Madrid from Chelsea - but Van Dijk left a lasting impression on him
Eden Hazard might not be scared of any other footballer - but Virgil van Dijk clearly left a lasting impression on the former Chelsea man.
Hazard left Stamford Bridge for Real Madrid in a deal that could rise to £130m earlier this summer, bringing to an end his seven years at the London club.
The Belgian attacker scored 21 goals in his final season with Chelsea, 16 of those in the Premier League, but it was a clash with Liverpool 's star defender that he highlighted from his final year in England.
Speaking about his memories of the Premier League in an interview with Youtuber Jay Shetty , Hazard revealed what it's really like to play against Van Dijk.
Asked what player he's scared of, Hazard said: "No-one. No-one. But to be fair, in the Premier League we have a lot of good defenders, especially this season Van Dijk was on fire.
Liverpool fans cannot get enough of top defender Virgil van Dijk after another peerless display against Chelsea in the Premier League.
The legend of Virgil van Dijk continues to grow. Since arriving at Anfield in January of this year the Liverpool defense looks like a different unit, in no small part to the Dutch defender. Against Chelsea on Saturday was more evidence of the center back’s imperious form.
The Blues started with Oliver Giroud as striker with Eden Hazard in a free role and Willian tasked with hassling the Liverpool defenders.
The Redmen defended well all game but for one moment where Trent Alexander-Arnold was caught chasing the ball in midfield and did not recover to allow Eden Hazard space to score.
However anything near van Dijk was swatted away with the insolent dismissal of a bear bothered by a fly. The Dutchman was unshakeable in defense and insightful with passing; his favorite pass being an inch perfect ball to Mohamed Salah which is now standard in Liverpool games.
Kopites have been hailing van Dijk since his arrival and the mainstream media has been following them in recent weeks. Even rival fans are grudgingly admitting he is the best in the land.
