Eden Hazard Says 'I Have to Improve' at Real Madrid

Eden Hazard has said he knows he has to improve at Real Madrid after a slow start to the season, but he added the criticisms he has received "don't bother me."

The Belgian signed for Real from Chelsea for €100 million (£88.5 million) in the summer in order to, at least partially, fill the gap in the front line left by Cristiano Ronaldo's departure last summer.

Hazard missed the start of the 2019-20 campaign due to injury, but he has now played a part in four of Real's last five matches in all competitions.

And, for a player that starred in the Premier League last term, he has been underwhelming, netting no goals and providing no assists so far:
