Thorgan Hazard

Il giovane Hazard è stato descritto dal suo tecnico del Lens B, Eric Assadourian come un "giocatore tecnicamente dotato che può risolvere una partita da solo con facilità" e suo fratello Eden ha dichiarato che crede che il fratello sia il più forte fra i due.^[1][2]

Hazard è nato a La Louvière, ma le sue origini sono di Braine-le-Comte, una piccola città nella Vallonia, regione del Belgio. Il suo primo nome è ispirato al fumetto belga Thorgal ed è cresciuto in una famiglia dove il calcio dominava.^[3] Sua madre, Carine e suo padre, Thierry son stati entrambi calciatori in Belgio. Suo padre ha speso molta della sua carriera giocando con il Louviéroise nella seconda divisione belga.^[3] Egli ha giocato prevalentemente come centrocampista difensivo.^[3] Sua madre ha giocato come attaccante in prima divisione belga femminile e ha smesso di giocare quando era incinta di tre mesi di Eden.^{[3][4][5][6][7]} Dopo aver giocato a calcio, entrambi i genitori sono diventati insegnanti di sport.^[3] Thierry si è ritirato dalla sua posizione nel 2009, con lo scopo di dedicare più spazio ai suoi figli.^[3]

Hazard ha tre altri fratelli. Suo fratello maggiore, Eden, gioca per il Chelsea. Suo fratello minore Kylian, di 16 anni, e Ethan, di 7 anni. Nell'agosto del 2011, Kylian si è unito alla primavera del Lille dopo un accordo pattuito al fine di entrare nel club a 16 anni compiuti, mentre Ethan rimane in Belgio a giocare nelle giovanili del Tubize.^[3][5][8][9] Hazard e i suoi tre fratelli son stati cresciuti in un ambiente confortabile in cui i genitori si assicuravano che avessero sempre tutto ciò di cui avevano bisogno per eccellere.^[10]

Hazard began his football career playing for hometown club Royal Stade Brainois at the age of five. After spending five years at the club, Thorgan followed his brother to Tubize. At the age of 14, he was discovered by French club Lens, while playing for Tubize in a local tournament. Similar to his brother's move to Lille, his parents accepted an offer from Lens with hopes that the training facilities in France would be better.^[10] Hazard's father later admitted that the decision to let Eden and, later Thorgan, join clubs in the North of France was the best solution stating "They remained so close to home and, at the same time, they integrated at structures where they could grow, because in Belgium, unfortunately, it's a little empty for the training of youth".^[4] While in the club's youth academy, Hazard played for the Lens under-16 team, alongside player such as Geoffrey Kondogbia and Raphaël Varane, that won the 2008–09 edition of the Championnat National des 16 ans.

On 7 April 2010, Hazard signed his first professional contract agreeing to a three-year deal until June 2013.^[11] Ahead of the 2010–11 season, Hazard trained with the senior team during the pre-season. On his pre-season debut, he scored a goal in a 1–1 draw with Belgian club KSV Roeselare.^[12][13] Hazard, however, began the season with the club's Championnat de France amateur team in the fourth division. He made his amateur debut on 8 August 2010 appearing as a substitute in a 2–0 victory over Drancy.^[14] After spending most of the season playing concurrently with the reserve team in the CFA and with the under-19 team in the Coupe Gambardella, on 9 May 2011, Hazard was named to the senior team for the first time for a league match against Bordeaux that was played on 11 May. The player ultimately did not feature in the match and finished the 2010–11 campaign with no senior team appearances.

Ahead of the 2011–12 season, Hazard was promoted to the senior team permanently and assigned the number 22 shirt.^[15] He made his professional debut in the team's opening league match of the season against Reims appearing as a second half substitute in a 2–0 defeat.^[16]

On 24 July 2012, Chelsea confirmed on its website that the club had agreed terms with Lens for the transfer of Hazard, soon after the signing his brother Eden from Lille.^[17][18]. He made his debut in an Under-21 Premier League match against Manchester City on 18 August ^[19], and thirteen days later was sent on a season-long loan move to Belgian Pro League club Zulte Waregem. The move was set up to allow Hazard first-team experience rather than be developed at Chelsea. ^[20]

Hazard is a Belgian youth international and has represented his nation at under-16, under-17, and under-18 level. With the under-16 team, Hazard was a regular participant. He made his debut on 16 September 2008 in a 5–0 defeat to Germany in a tournament in Hassloch.^[21] In the team's next match in the tournament against Macedonia, Hazard scored a goal in a 3–0 victory. For the rest of the under-16 campaign, he scored goals in matches against Malta and Poland. Hazard also played with the team at the 2009 edition of the Aegean Cup in Turkey. He featured in all three matches as Belgium crashed out in the group stage portion of the competition.

Due to his increased participation with Lens domestically, Hazard primarily played in competitive matches with the under-17 team under coach Bob Browaeys. In August 2009, he played with the team in the Toto Cup, a yearly international youth tournament held in Austria. In the first qualifying round for the 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship, Hazard scored his only goal with the team in a 1–1 draw with Montenegro.^[22] He was, subsequently, called up to the team in March 2010 for Elite Round qualification matches that were played in Northern Ireland.^[23] Hazard played in all three matches as Belgium failed to earn qualification to the tournament.

Hazard appeared in only one match with the under-18 team before bypassing the age level to represent the under-19 team ahead of the 2011 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship. He made his debut on 8 February in a friendly match against Belarus scoring the team's only goal in a 1–0 win.^[24] On 27 March 2011, Hazard scored the game-winning goal converting a penalty in a 2–1 win over the Ukraine. In Elite Round qualification for the 2011 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, Hazard featured as a starter and played the entire match in all three group stage matches. In the second group stage match against Estonia, Hazard netted the winner in the 88th minute to give Belgium a 3–2 win.^[25] The victory allowed the nation to qualify for the tournament with one game to spare. Belgium ultimately finished the Elite Round unbeaten. At the 2011 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, Hazard featured in two of the three group stage matches Belgium contested. In the team's opening match against Spain, Hazard assisted on the team's only goal in a 4–1 defeat after his shot from distance was blocked by the Spanish defense and fell into the path of team-mate Florent Cuvelier who, subsequently, converted his shot.^[26] Belgium, ultimately, finished last in its group, which resulted in the team being eliminated from the tournament.

Due to being an underage player in the 2010–11 season, Hazard remained eligible to play on the under-19 team for the 2011–12 season. In the first match of the campaign against Denmark, Hazard scored the team's only goal converting a penalty in a 1–1 draw. On 7 September 2011, he scored the second goal in the team's 4–1 friendly match win over Turkey. In first round qualification for the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, Hazard scored a team-leading three goals. In the first group match against Wales, he scored a double in a 3–0 win and, in the team's final group match against Scotland, Hazard netted the second goal in a 3–1 victory.^[27][28][29] In Elite Round qualification, Hazard appeared in two of the team's three group stage matches as Belgium finished third in the group behind favorites Spain and Italy.^[30]
