Eden Hazard only played 30 minutes, Zinedine Zidane explained the reason

Zinedine Zidane said he was pleased with Eden Hazard's performance in the final 30 minutes of Real Madrid's match against Levante on Saturday (9/14/2019), that night. Los Blancos managed to get three points with a 3-2 victory.

Zidane admitted that the match against Madrid was still far from expectations. They looked impressive with three goals in the first half, but then fought in the second round and almost lost.

Hazard fell in the 60th minute, replacing Casemiro. That is, he played when the Madrid match got worse. That's why Zidane understands Hazard's difficulties, especially the Belgian star who is recovering from an injury.

What does Zidane think about Hazard?


Just practiced four times
The danger has stopped since the start of the season due to a calf injury and can only graze in the game. That is, Hazard still needs time to find the best rhythm of the game. Zidane is very understanding.

"He [Hazard] was very aggressive, he was great when he brought the ball and what he needed was some additional training, he only did four times with the team," Zidane told Realmadrid.com.

"We know how good he is, but we will still have a lot of matches and we want to handle this situation as best we can."



Be careful

Zidane admitted that Hazard's debut was not as fast as expected. Even in this case, he guaranteed that the decision was a form of prudence in Madrid.

The danger will be very important for Madrid this season. Zidane did not want to rush to play Hazard with the risk of recurrence of injury.

"I don't want to hurt myself anymore. The danger will bring us a lot." He is still not ready to start because he has only completed four training sessions, "continued Zidane.

"We know we can do much better and we will try to do it as calmly as possible, we must play better and keep our good performance longer in the match," he said.
