Continue reading The figures are disappointing: Anderlecht has collected only one point from its last two matches. Hazard also made it clear that the Purple & White can't go on a winning streak. "After the draw against STVV, it was crucial to win here," he continued. But that didn't happen, according to Hazard, due to a lack of consistency.
The winger also acknowledges his own shortcomings: "I didn't handle some balls well, and that shot that hit the post… that was just millimeters," he said. Hazard drew a parallel with the match against STVV, where small details went against the Purple & White. "But we have to change that ourselves," he was resolute.
The late goal conceded from a set-piece was particularly painful, especially because Charleroi were less dangerous in the second half. A top-six finish is now in jeopardy, and Hazard knows that. "But we have to move on quickly and focus on Tuesday's cup match."
