“Since you arrive at Real you feel a connection with the Champions” – Prensa Libre

“It was in my plans to come to Real Madrid. At Chelsea I already knew that my dream was to play for this club someday. I didn't expect to play seven years there but in the end everything went well and I had the chance to win something every year. That's why I stayed so long. Now it is a dream to be here and I hope to make the most of it, ”he said in an interview with UEFA media.

Hazard recognizes that Real Madrid feels special because it was where Zinedine Zidane played at the time he took his first steps in football. "For me it was‘ the club. " Then there is the white shirt and the Bernabéu, which is the best stadium. As a child I supported the Real, so I also wanted to come for that reason. ”

Upon arriving at Real Madrid, the Belgian midfielder said he felt something special after seeing all the European Cups won by the most successful club. “Since you arrive you feel a connection with the Champions. It is the club that has won the most ”.

“When you are at Real Madrid, even if it is my first year, talking to the fans always expect you to win the Champions League. That is why I think there are so many expectations placed in this competition and that is why they have won it more than any other team, ”he argued.

Hazard said he feels "like a small child" because he can work with Zidane. "I am happy. I am learning every day. It's great to work with a coach that you can feel as a player when you talk to him. I just need to learn from him and I'm sure everything will be fine. ”

Among his great Real Madrid memories of the past, he highlighted Raúl, Figo and Ronaldo Nazario in the 'galactic' stage. “It was great to see them. We were attracted to the club because they had all those stars there and played together. ”

He remembered the special moment of his massive presentation. “I was in the field at home. The different was the press conference, see all the fans, the president giving a speech, all the cameras. He feels quite excited and also a little impatient. I am better when I let my feet speak in the field. ”

Once he has completed his official debut, Hazard already thinks about meeting the challenges set at Real Madrid. “When you are in a club like Real Madrid you need to win and you have to score. I try to have as much fun as possible in the field. If I do, the results will come. ”

He ended up highlighting the differences in demand he feels in the fans. “Here the fans are really fans. In England there are not so many, they like football but they are not so fanatical of their teams. At the time I was in Chelsea and we lost, we were disappointed as were the fans, but I never felt it was a disaster. That is different in Spain. Soccer is everything to them. ”
