Real Madrid boss Zidane: We want more from Hazard

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane insists there's no problems with Eden Hazard's fitness.

The midfielder was quiet for their 0-0 draw at Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

And for today's Champions League presser, Zidane said: “It has nothing to do with the physical. Be calm.

“I am not going to give him advice, how he should be. He is an important player and we want more from him, but you have to be calm. I am not worried. He will succeed here because he is very good. And that is not going to change.

“The same thing happened to me and I was very calm. I knew it would work over time. It was worse when I arrived in Italy. It took me three months there. I know Hazard is going to be important. He will go forward."
