Hazard flirts with Zidane

Posted Monday, February 08, 2016 by Marca.com

Eden Hazard is on Real Madrid's hitlist as a possible 'Galactico' signing for next season. Chelsea are said to be open to the idea of selling the star, whom Zinedine Zidane has always waxed lyrical about. What's more, on Saturday the Belgian returned Zizou's compliments and refused to rule out moving to the Bernabeu one day.

"It's flattering to hear someone I've always admired speak about me in such terms. I know all about him as a player, but I'm not that familiar with what he's like as a coach. I do know that he's had a really good start at Real Madrid. However, I'm still under contract at Chelsea", the attacking midfielder commented.

Nevertheless, Hazard did not dodge the million-euro question: whether he'd like to work under Zidane one day. "Yes, of course", replied the Belgium international, who went on to elaborate about how much he looked up to the former Cannes, Bordeaux, Juventus and Real Madrid maestro: "When I was a kid I used to watch him on TV and online videos of him for hours. I ate, slept and breathed Zidane. However, I want to reiterate that I feel very good at Chelsea".
