Arsene Wenger doesn't believe Eden Hazard is the man to replace Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.
The Belgian is beginning to demonstrate his qualities with Los Blancos after a tough period following his move from Chelsea.
"He will be the answer but not in replacing Ronaldo that is for sure," Wenger told beIN Sports about Hazard.
"He will not score 50 goals a year because that's now how they play football.
"They need another goal scorer in Real Madrid because Benzema is now 32 and if they had someone younger around him to score the goals, maybe they could do very well.
"Eden Hazard is an exceptional player to create chances to sometimes finish when he needs to do in big games.
"He's not scared of anybody - I don't think Real have yet to see the real Hazard, he's not as sharp physically as he can be.
"That's why I believe they will discover the real Hazard."

Madrid shouldn't try to replace Ronaldo. We all know what happens when players are compared to or try to replace Ronaldo. They all end up being failures. They should rather change their style of play. And any Madrid player who got accustomed to playing with Ronaldo should change their style. And I suggest a lot of young talents to be used

He could score 50 goals a season cause it's not impossible. The matter is that just the 7 shirt he is putting on, is far greater than him. It requires a lot of work on and off the pitch which he doesn't even seems like someone who can do it. His stomach is just there increasing every day [Crylaugh]

Hazard will find his firm, I agree with Wenger. And the fact will remain no one will replace Ronaldo nor Messi, they are different and no one has their characters

No player can replace Ronald. We've made Peace with that, and so I believe Hazard isn't there to replace but build his own legacy. He's already fulfilled a childhood dream by joining RMCF, now the man is just tryna enjoy as much as he can so that after retirement he doesn't have anything to regret.

I'm very happy that everyone, both Ronaldo's critics and fans agree that there is one and only Ronaldo in the history football in Real Madrid. The great man , called Ronaldo has made name and history in this beautiful game . Out of mere arguments, people tend and try hard to compare Ronaldo's records with other players, either in Spain or elsewhere, but let's be honest , it is not easy to play in different clubs and achieve humongous results as he has done . In an attempt to to compare Ronaldo and Messi, it is obvious that Messi is a one man club, that is, he has not been tried outside Barcelona. Indeed, in football, Ronaldo lives forever.
