Hazard ‘Very Pleased’ with First Madrid Goal

By Daily Sports on August 9, 2019

Real Madrid star Eden Hazard was “very pleased” to open his account for the La Liga giants in their 1-0 friendly win against Salzburg.

Hazard was the difference in the pre-season fixture at Salzburg, where he scored his first Madrid goal in sublime fashion on Wednesday.

After arriving from Chelsea in a deal worth €100 million (£91m/$111m), Hazard curled a stunning effort past goalkeeper Cican Stankovic.

“When you’re out on the pitch, you want to win the game and being a forward, you want to score goals,” said Hazard, who has shown flashes of his brilliance against Bayern Munich,

Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Tottenham and Fenerbahce.

“I’d been waiting for this moment for the last five games and it's happened today. I’m very pleased.

“It’s still pre-season, but I think we’ve got more energy now. We’ve still got another 10 days before our first competitive game so we have to focus and keep working hard.

“Our aim is to be ready for next week, we can’t wait to start La Liga so we’re training and practising hard.”

Hazard’s arrival has headlined a busy off-season for Madrid, who have attempted to overhaul their side with the signings of Luka Jovic, Eder Militao, Rodrygo Goes, Ferland Mendy.
