This is what physically strong means in Football

Just take a moment and watch Eden Hazard, casually gliding past Benjamin Pavard and Paul Pogba in the World Cup 2018.

That's what physicality is in football. Not just being massive and tall, but strength, power, agility, speed and balance coming all together.

it's not about how big you are, it's about how well you can control your body.

By the way, what a player he is.

Pavard actually tripped on Hazards leg, this is more so agility and balance.

This is little physical strength but with great skill, Balance and Agility.

It's called having a low Centre of gravity which is what most playmakers such as Messi, Hazard & Luka Modric possess.

He was soo good that World Cup. The games against Brazil and France I remember very well. He was the best player on the pitch with all the teams have world class players. I’m a Barça fan but it really sucks seeing Hazard always injured. After Messi and Neymar, he was one of the players I enjoyed watching the most.

In this 26 seconds video he done more than in 2 years playing for Real

[javiersantana]

now he can’t make a pass at madrid without tearing something

[alberto]

Real Madrid be like:
Who's this guy?

[codyfacer]

Best player at that world cup. Sad he wasn't recognized as such. Will be something that's forgotten about now

[justsomeguywithtattoos]

This was epic to see. Seeing it in slowmotion really shows how much more intense it is than what it looks like on TV. These players are superhumans 👽

[theooo]

physique is all about strength, balance, agility... but people think it’s just muscles and strength. that’s why messi’s physique is really underrated

No, this is what a low center of gravity means.

[AshishGopal]

The time when Hazard was actually hazardous.

[uddhavthakore]

Madrid should've just bought this guy

[retro_don]

I admired Hazard because of his dribbling technique

[rajattttttt]

Hazard hasn't even played this much at Madrid. I wish best for him

[bisvizstudio]

I'm a Liverpool fan. Even though he has always been a threat to my team, I feel like the whole PL fans gutted to see him leave PL.

[DotepenecPL]

Objectively speaking, this game was between two best teams in that World Cup.

[thepatelsarewatching]

He smashed that tournament to bits, Eden at his best.

I saw Hazard play live at Chelsea some years ago. His legs are so short! Very muscly but low centre of gravity, gives him great balance and agility/ acceleration
