Eden Hazard insists he’s staying with Real Madrid.
Despite his problems since arriving in the capital from Chelsea, Hazard has remained convinced that he will succeed with Los Blancos.
“I’ve never wanted to leave because I know I can contribute things that I haven’t been able to yet, and the club know that,” Hazard said.
“I’ve been telling them for a year and a half that I have pain in my ankle, and that the badge bothers me.
“The best-case scenario is to have very good preparation, play, because I haven’t played much for a long time, play well, help out on the pitch in every game, score goals, go to the World Cup in Qatar and have a good World Cup, like the one we had in Russia.
“To have a super year, a full year without physical problems, without anything, to string it together and enjoy it, like I’ve always done.”
Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema is widely tipped with being the favourite to win this year’s Ballon d’Or, and Hazard believes the Frenchman is more deserving than anybody to be named the best player in the world in 2022.
“I think there is no other player like Karim,” Hazard said. “Benzema has won 99 percent of the Ballon d’Or.
“Then with the votes, etc. you never know what will happen, but I think it will go to Karim and I hope so because he deserves it.”
