Hazard: It Was Difficult For Me To Cope At Real Madrid

Eden Hazard has disclosed that it was difficult for him to cope at Real Madrid.

Recall that the Belgium international struggled to live up to expectations over four years in Madrid.

In a chat with L’Equipe, Hazard stated that the club is bigger than him.

“I’ve been a Zinedine Zidane fan since I was a child. The Bernabeu, the white kit… it has a charm that others don’t have. Real Madrid is special.

“Beyond that, I don’t think that I fit in. It’s not like me. It’s a bit of a ‘swaggering’ club, and I’m not like that. I also didn’t like the way we played if you compare it to other clubs. But, it was my dream. I couldn’t finish my career without coming here.”

“I would’ve liked to do things my way and succeed. It shows that Real Madrid is bigger than anything else. It’s complicated to play there. Maybe I needed to train more. I also had the worst injuries at the worst times.”
