Chelsea Make Bale a Substitute for Hazard

LONDON - Eden Hazard is touted to leave Chelsea in the summer transfer market 2018. One proof is the reluctance of Hazard to extend the contract with the Blues-Chelsea nickname. Currently, the Belgian footballer is linked with Real Madrid.

Even according to Sky Sports journalist Guillem Balague, Los Blancos-Madrid's nickname-made Hazard their prime target. Therefore do not be surprised if in the upcoming transfer market, Hazard continued career with Madrid.

If it is realized, then Chelsea must bring in substitutes. Uniquely, Chelsea actually targeting Madrid players. As reported Don Balon, Friday (30/3/2018), Chelsea hunt signature Gareth Bale.

In good position Hazard and Bale are both operating in winger positions, but their operating areas are slightly different. Together with Chelsea, Hazard mentas as a left winger. Meanwhile, Bale appeared in the right winger position with Madrid.

Even so, it does not mean Bale can not replace the position left by Hazard, namely mentas as a left winger. That's because before playing fluently in the right winger position, Bale first appeared as a left winger. In fact, Bale also had mentas in left fullback position early in his career.

However, it takes a little money to bring Bale. Management Madrid membanderol Bale in the number 88 million pounds or approximately Rp1, 69 trillion. In addition, Chelsea is also not alone in the effort to bring the footballer nicknamed The Welsh Wizard.

That's because Chelsea have to compete with two other English Premier League clubs, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. Tottenham want to reunite with Bale, a player who could defend them in the period 2007-2013.

Meanwhile, Man United needed Bale to be played as a right winger. Currently the position of Man United's right winger occupied by Juan Mata. Skillfully, Mata was steady when it was played in that position, but the Spanish passport midfielder did not have the winger-like pace in general.

Even so, Bale enthusiasts must be alert to the threat of injury that hit the 28-year-old footballer. Bale is known as a footballer who is vulnerable to injury. This season alone, Bale was sidelined for two months because of a series of problems on his legs.
