Why Hazard Can’t Replace Ronaldo — Wenger

By Daily Sports on October 11, 2019

Real Madrid still haven’t seen the real Eden Hazard, according to Arsene Wenger – but even when they do, he still won’t replace Cristiano Ronaldo.

Hazard registered his first La Liga goal and assist in Madrid’s last game before the international break, a 4-2 win over Granada which kept Zinedine Zidane’s side top of the Spanish table.

Despite their lofty position, Madrid have already faltered this campaign and are yet to discover their best form.

“He will be the answer but not in replacing Ronaldo, that is for sure,” Wenger told beIN Sports when asked about Hazard. “He will not score 50 goals a year because that’s now how they play football.

“They need another goalscorer at Real Madrid because [Karim] Benzema is now 32 and if they had someone younger around him to score the goals, maybe they could do very well.

“Eden Hazard is an exceptional player to create chances to sometimes finish when he needs to in the big games.

“He’s not scared of anybody – I don’t think Real have yet to see the real Hazard, he’s not as sharp physically as he can be. That’s why I believe they will discover the real Hazard.” (SuperSport)
