Eden Hazard has laughed off his critics in an interview with La Dernière Heure, denying suggestions that he has had a difficult start to life at Real Madrid.
Eden Hazard has admitted that he hasn’t read the criticism about his lacklustre start to his Real Madrid career.
Early question marks have hung over the Belgian winger amid his struggle to find his best form since making the switch from Chelsea in the summer. But after failing to provide a goal or assist in his first five games for Madrid, he managed to do both in the 4-2 win against Granada before the international break, scoring one and setting up another.
While Zinedine Zidane has played down the criticism towards Hazard, stating the club's new signing needs time to adapt, the player himself also laughed off the critics in an interview with Belgian outlet La Dernière Heure, denying suggestions that he has had a difficult start to life at the Bernabéu.
Hazard on start at Real Madrid
“No, I have not lived through difficult weeks at Madrid,” said the 28-year-old.
“I know we talk a lot about Real everywhere, that's why I'm here, but I still do not understand Spanish well. I don’t see the criticism.”
