Eden Hazard is determined to take revenge at Real Madrid this season. The thirty-year-old attacker returned to his Spanish employer this week fitter than ever, reports journalist Edu Aguirre. Hazard would have even received compliments from his teammates for this.
“Real Madrid’s dressing room is amazed at how slim Hazard is,” Aguirre said in the sports program El Chiringuito TV. “Of course he has played a European Championship and so has not had much time to be less careful with what he eats. There are madridistas, including me, who think Hazard will have a lot to show for at Real Madrid. My ideal attack would be Hazard, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.”

The above video from El Chiringuito TV shows training footage of Hazard.
Hazard came over from Chelsea two years ago for a record € 115 million, but failed to live up to expectations in the intervening period. The left striker struggled with a laundry list of injuries during his period at Real. In addition, Hazard was regularly accused of not being trained. The Belgian previously admitted to having reported five kilograms overweight in Madrid two years ago. “It’s true, I’m not going to lie about it. When I’m on vacation, it’s really vacation,” Hazard said remarkably enough.
“Those kilos are flying. I am such a person who gains weight quickly, but also loses the excess kilos quickly,” Hazard said at the time. In the meantime, the wing striker seems to have slightly adjusted his thoughts about vacation. The attacker enjoyed a short holiday after the failed European Championship with Belgium, on which he had to miss the last game against Italy due to a hamstring injury, and reported to Real Madrid this week in training.
