“I’m keeping my smile,” he informed reporters on Monday, as quoted by Reuters. “I’ve had a difficult few months where I haven’t been able to gain much rhythm. I now have to show that I can still do it. I don’t doubt it myself, but I understand that the outside world does.”
“Just like at the last Euros. I gained minutes in the first matches and was there in the quarter-final against Portugal. Our medical and technical staff will help me (be ready).”
“I feel good physically. Of course, I miss rhythm, that’s why the last practice match against Egypt (is important). Then I want to be there for the first match (in Qatar).”
Belgium will play Egypt in a warm-up match on Friday and Hazard desires to set the tempo for the World Cup and present Belgium can rely on its captain.
“I have not suddenly lost my qualities. This will be my third World Cup and I want to show that Belgium can still count on its captain and that I want to give everything (for the team).
“Together with a couple of different boys, I’ve reached an age the place you’ll be able to drop out (of the staff). But not earlier than going all out in Qatar first.”
“Our first focus must be on surviving the group stage,” Hazard said. “Then something is feasible if we give the utmost. Quarter-final, semi-final and even the ultimate.”
Hazard also said he has no plans to leave his club Real Madrid in January.
“I do not wish to go away Real. Maybe issues will look completely different (for me there) after the World Cup,” Hazard stated.
