Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard admits he was happier playing for Zinedine Zidane than current coach Carlo Ancelotti.

The former Chelsea captain's three years in Madrid have been plagued by injury.

Now with Belgium at the World Cup, Hazard reflected: “Perhaps I had my best period at Chelsea. At Real I played well under Zidane's management, we spoke when he left, he was sad because I hadn't been able to perform as expected.

"I speak little with Ancelotti, I spoke to him for five minutes at the start of the season, but I never speak much with the coaches.

"I'm not one of those who goes to a coach and tells him he has to do this or that."
