Hazard says he is one strike away from kick-starting Real career
Eden Hazard said on Monday he is ‘one goal’ away from launching his Real Madrid career having failed to score since joining the Spanish club this summer.
Hazard, who cost Real 100 million euros in July, is yet to get off the mark during the new season with his appearances restricted to four matches due to a thigh injury.
“Honestly I feel at 100 per cent, the injury is behind me. When I start scoring, being decisive, having good matches, it will all come together,” Hazard said ahead of playing Club Brugge.
“That’s what I’m missing, one good match, one goal, one pass, something to start my season.
“When I say it’s down to confidence, once I’m confident, I’ll give my best on the field.”
Real host Brugge after falling to a humiliating 3-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in their opening Champions League game of the campaign.
They sit top of the La Liga table after seven matches with France international Karim Benzema their top goal-scorer on five, followed by Wales forward Gareth Bale on two.
