Former Chelsea star doesn’t want to leave Madrid

Belgium international Eden Hazard has said he doesn’t want to leave Spanish club Real Madrid despite the limited game time under Carlos Ancelotti.

The former Chelsea talisman in his statement begged for patience as he looks to return to top form and fitness.

Hazard admitted he thought things would play out differently at the start of the season under Ancelotti as he continues to struggle with constant injury issues since he joined Real Madrid from Chelsea in 2019.

“Why do I play so little with Ancelotti? Before the season, we talked and he told me that I was going to have my chances,” Hazard said, as quoted by Marca.

“Obviously, this isn’t happening a lot, but I understand that Ancelotti cannot always answer the same question.

“I don’t want to leave Real Madrid. Maybe after the World Cup, things will be different. I want to play, but it is the coach who makes his decisions.

“I accept it, but I want to show him that I deserve to play more. When you don’t play, it’s difficult.”
