Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery feels for Eden Hazard over his sluggish Chelsea form.

Ribery says Hazard is playing in a difficult position and regaining his self-confidence is key for him to get back to his very best.

Asked about the Belgian's poor performances last term, Ribery told BILD: "I too saw that in Hazard but he really is an exceptional player.

"The situation is that in this position you have to always make an immediate impact and make a difference.

"You can not say 'I can not pass this opponent, I'll try it next time better' or you lose your self-confidence."
