Zenit St Petersburg defender Branislav Ivanovic insists Eden Hazard will come good for Real Madrid.

The pair are former long time Chelsea teammates.

Ivanovic told Marca, "I think he is not well physically. He was injured a couple of times, but everyone knows that Hazard is one of the best and will prove it.

"For me he is one of the best players, with excellent quality. I wish him many successes and good luck. Of course, without injuries it would be easier.

"Real Madrid is the biggest team in the world and the pressure is different from that of the Premier, but I think he is a player who can face it and I hope that the next course he has no injuries and it is good for him.

"I was lucky not to play much against him, but I enjoyed watching him play against other defences and, in a short time, he blew up Chelsea. So I hope he will recover physically and start giving his best for Real Madrid."
