'He knows what us players need' - Hazard relishing chance to learn from 'idol' Zidane at Real Madrid

Eden Hazard says he is loving the experience of learning from one of his childhood idols, Zinedine Zidane, as his Real Madrid career kicks into gear.

Hazard’s start to life at the Santiago Bernabeu was thrown off course by a thigh injury sustained in pre-season, but he has now made seven appearances since completing his summer move from Chelsea.

Zidane’s success as a manager in his first stint at Madrid came as a surprise to many, as the now 47-year-old won three consecutive Champions League titles in his first major job.
