→ Because he scores against Atlético de Madrid, he
One match, and more precisely 61 minutes of play, was enough for Edon Zhegrova to shake the nets of Atlético de Madrid, moreover on the lawn of the Metropolitano. This is obviously infinitely less than for Eden Hazard who, in four seasons at Real Madrid, has never managed to even thrill the Colchoneros. And for good reason, in four years in the Spanish capital, the Belgian only played 71 minutes of one of the ten Madrid derbies at the time, without being decisive. Worse still: if we add his five matches played with Chelsea against Atléti, the goal counter remains stuck at 0. Impostor?
→ Because it makes the Mastiffs biting in Europe, he
With his equalizer on the pitch of Atlético de Madrid, Edon Zhegrova was the detonator of the Mastiffs' exploit on the pitch of the Metropolitano, a few weeks after making Real Madrid dizzy. Better: with this pawn, Kosovar already brings its total to 4 on the European scene this season, after having crashed against Fenerbahçe and twice against Slavia Prague, to raise LOSC in this C1. With 7 goals in 19 European matches with LOSC, he is already doing better than Eden Hazard in 27 continental matches with the Mastiffs, for 4 small goals, all scored in C3 against the formidable Sloboda Uzice, in Liverpool and in Genoa. Yes: the Belgian crack had been unable to shake the net in six C1 matches against CSKA Moscow, Trabzonspor and Inter.
→ Because he really started in Belgium, he
Certainly, Eden Michael Hazard was born across Quiévrain, in La Louvière, one beautiful morning in January 1991. Certainly, he spent eight years at the Royal Stade Brainois then two years at AFC Tubize. But despite his 126 caps with the Red Devils, the Belgian has never graced the Jupiler League with his talents, unlike Edon Zhegrova. Because if Kosovar was born in Germany, it was in Belgium that it was forged before exploding, after a few years in Kosovo. After playing for Standard Liège and Sint-Truiden as a youth player, Edon Zhegrova became a professional at KRC Genk, before going to kick the ball in another country fond of the nineties and seventies, near Basel.
→ Because he is not retired, he
The heart has its reasons that reason ignores, we know that. But, at the risk of being sentimental, we still haven't recovered from the early retirement of Eden Hazard, while the most hair-raising Belgian since Benoît Poelvoorde was only 33 years old, including 4 seasons in the closet in Madrid . Frankly, what stopped him from coming back to complete the loop at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, before returning to the Plat Pays for good? In the meantime, he leaves the way clear for his 8-year-old junior to demonstrate that in 2024, Edon Zhegrova is much stronger than Eden Hazard. Well, if we had asked the same question in 2012, the answer would obviously have been different.
→ Because the etymology says so
Still not convinced? Let's let science speak, in this case, and not just any science: that of words. Indeed, the etymology is formal, since Edon is a first name of Hebrew origin, which literally means “strong, firm”. While Eden, also of Hebrew origin, is a well-known biblical term which refers to the earthly paradise and delights. Unless Thierry Hazard – the father of Eden, not the singer of Jerk – opted for this first name with its Anglo-Saxon origin in mind. Derived from the Old English Eadun, Eden is then a contraction of “ prosperity » et « teddy bear “. Which ends the debate.
