In a behind-the-scenes moment at the press conference, Eden Hazard was asked by journalists from the Lebuteur site about his thoughts on Algerian players. The Belgian striker revealed that he is familiar with many Algerian players, but highlighted his friendship with Ryad Boudebouz.
“Honestly, I know a lot of Algerian players, but Ryad Boudebouz is a friend of mine. We know each other well, and it’s a shame he’s not in the Algerian team today,” said Eden Hazard.
He also mentioned his admiration for Sofiane Feghouli from Valencia, describing him as a player full of talent and qualities, whom he sees as a great player.
As Belgium prepares to face Ivory Coast in a preparatory match for the World Cup, Hazard and his teammates are gearing up to face Algeria, Korea, and Russia in Brazil.
