"Gareth Bale did, however, single Hazard out straight away as the worst trainer he saw, as he also gave some insight into the Belgian's struggles at the Bernabeu. Bale feels an early injury for Hazard upon his arrival in Spain ultimately led to his downfall as he never really recovered from it."
"Hazard was a world class performer at Chelsea, establishing himself as one of the top Premier League players of all time. Things couldn't have been more different for him at Real Madrid, though, as he struggled to make the same kind of impact with goals and assists as he did at Chelsea."
"Bale also admitted he wasn't someone who loved training or put much effort in either, as every player needs something different in how they prepare for matches. While he named Hazard as the worst trainer, he also mentioned Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, and Isco as the best trainers he'd worked with."
Gareth Bale appeared on The Overlap podcast and revealed that Eden Hazard was the worst trainer he worked with throughout his career. Bale acknowledged that he himself wasn't someone who loved training, noting that different players require different preparation methods. Hazard, who was world-class at Chelsea, struggled significantly at Real Madrid and never replicated his Premier League success. Bale attributes Hazard's decline to an early injury sustained upon arrival in Spain from which he never fully recovered. Despite their potential as a partnership, the two never reached their best together at Madrid. Bale also discussed Manchester United's interest in him at Tottenham, his preference for Real Madrid, and playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. He praised Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, and Isco as the best trainers he worked with.
