‘Difficult for him in that area! Saul Niguez finally reveals why Hazard keeps struggling at Real Madrid
Former Chelsea player Eden Hazard looks unrecognisable from his time in English football and has scored only six goals in 61 appearances in a Madrid shirt.
Hazard, who enjoyed seven amazing years as a Chelsea player, has struggled to replicate that form at Real Madrid since he joined the Spanish side in the summer of 2019.
However, Chelsea midfielder Saul Niguez, currently on loan from Atletico Madrid, believes he knows why Eden Hazard has struggled since his move from Chelsea to Real Madrid.
Saul said: “For example, I was talking to my friends the other day about Eden Hazard. When he was here, he was easily one of the best players in the world and then he goes to La Liga and has his own difficulties because it’s a totally different game.
“Here he had more one-vs-ones and two-vs-ones but in La Liga, because everyone knows how good his team is and how good he is, other teams make it much more difficult for him.
“Here it’s happening a bit in reverse, although I think it’s a bit easier to adapt from La Liga to the Premier League than from the Premier League to La Liga.”
