Eden Hazard’s stint with Real Madrid hasn’t started as well as everyone hoped it will. The Belgian star winger struggled since coming to Spain, playing only four matches due to injuries and failing to record a single goal or assists. Well, it turns out that Hazard himself is well aware of his struggles and is determined to do better.
During a news conference ahead of Champions League game against Club Brugge, Hazard told reporters that he doesn’t let criticism get to him. Still, he knows that it’s justified.
“I feel good and strong,” – said Hazard. “It’s true that people expect a lot from me and so do I. I can do better. I’m critical of myself and I’m working every day to achieve great things because we have a great squad.”
“I don’t doubt myself, I’m confident. Right now, I’m only lacking the goals and being more decisive. Football is all about confidence.” – he added.
Real’ head coach Zinedine Zidane also isn’t concern about the poor performances of his star player. According to Zidane, he understands Hazard’s struggles as he also needed time to adapt when changed leagues during his playing career.
“The same thing happened to me,” – Zidane added. “I’m relaxed, I knew it was going to take time for him to adapt and it was worse when I moved to Italy because it took me three months, but less in Madrid.”
Eden Hazard joined Real Madrid from Chelsea in a transfer worth approximately $110 million. Hazard previously spent seven years in London, playing 352 games and scoring 110 goals.
