Eden Hazard admits he is a Real Madrid flop after his first season but vows to hit top form 

Eden Hazard accepts he has work to do to justify his place at Real Madrid following a nightmare first season after his mega-money move from Chelsea.

Hazard departed Stamford Bridge in a deal worth a starting fee of £88m but with add-ons that could take it up to as much as £150m.

But the Belgian has had a terrible time in Spain so far, with injuries and questions about his fitness after appearing to arrive for pre-season out of shape. 

Eden Hazard has accepted he has not succeeded during his first season with Real Madrid 

Hazard is insistent that he will right his wrongs during his second season in Spain

‘My first season at Madrid is bad, but not everything is bad,’ Hazard told RTBF.

‘It is an adaptation season. I will be judged in the second. It is up to me to be in good shape next year.

‘The group is good, I have met new people. For me it is a great experience. I still have four years of contract, I hope to be in good shape.’

 The 29-year-old has scored once and proivded five assists in 15 appearances in the 2019-20 season.

At present, the Spanish campaign is on hold due to the coronavirus outbreak and Hazard is in isolation.

Hazard left Chelsea last summer in a mega-money move to the Spanish giants Madrid 

‘I’m not saying I can’t catch it, but I’m inside the house, nobody’s coming, we can’t see anyone,’ he said.

‘I’m a little scared, like everyone else, but I especially have to be careful not to pass it on to others [if I get it], that is the most delicate thing.

‘We have to take care of ourselves. I am concerned about weaker people, who have more problems.’
