London's "Chelsea" coach Gianfranco Zola, working in the coaching staff, claims that Madrid's "Real" did not make a mistake by buying 28-year-old Eden Hazard.
The star of the Belgium national team finally fulfilled his dream this summer and joined the "Real" team for 100 million euros. G. Zola admits that "Chelsea" lost their most important player in recent years, but also states that the Belgian deserved this deal.
"Madrid got a fantastic player," - AS said G. Zola. - "This year he was incredible. As a person, he is also amazing. "Chelsea" lost their most important player, and "Real" got him.
"I wish him all the best and hope that everything in Madrid will work out as well as at "Chelsea". He deserved this transfer.
I have no doubt that he will succeed. He has all the qualities to become a successful player in the "La Liga" championships. This year, he improved a lot by playing a more team game, and the quality of his passes also improved. I think he will have no problems in his new career path," - said G. Zola.
Asked whether "Real" Madrid fans can expect E. Hazard to become the team's leader, the Italian replied: "Last year he was great and contributed to about 40 percent of all "Chelsea" goals. He not only scored, but also made key passes. His statistics were truly exceptional.
There are leaders who talk a lot on the field and in the locker room, and there are those who are crucial in key moments and decide games. He is a great acquisition for the Madrid team."
