“The training is always with the ball,” Hazard told L’Equipe .
“When you have experimented with Italians, as I have done with Conte or Sarri, you have much less fun. Everything is framed.
“It’s hard to compare. I was attracted to Zidane at Madrid and felt very identified. He fascinates me and even has some power over me.
“He loves his players and you feel that the dressing room is happy to have him as a coach.”
Hazard also admitted that moving to Real Madrid was a childhood dream for him and the switch helped him complete his childhood ambition.
“It was a dream to get here. Ever since I started playing in my garden as a kid, they were the club I supported. Zidane was my idol. When I watched him on television, he was magic.
“The stadium, when I saw it on television, was magical. And the white jersey, impeccable. For me it was exceptional.”
