Jose Mourinho is no longer the only human being alive to criticize the talents of Belgium's Eden Hazard. Belgium legend Marc Degryse has publicly voiced his criticisms, stating that the 23-year-old needs straighten up for the 2014 World Cup.
"He has to work harder defensively," Degryse said (via the Daily Mail). "Against Sweden, he switched off several times, just like he did in the Champions League for Chelsea against Atletico Madrid. "If that doesn't change [head coach Marc] Wilmots will have to resolve it by dropping him."
As provocative as those statements read, Degryse doubled down on his criticisms by adding, "Hazard is the type of player that sometimes needs a kick up the [expletive]."
