Now I’m starting my career from scratch – Hazard

After having surgery to remove a plate from his ankle, that had been bothering him for years, Eden Hazard has pledged to make an impact at Real Madrid next season.

Hazard, a big-money signing from Chelsea in 2019, had only six goals and 10 assists in 66 games for Real, missing 72 games due to injury.

Hazard has been dealing with an ankle ailment for some time, but he recently had a metal plate removed for what he believes would be the final time, and he said that he expects his career at the Santiago Bernabeu to begin from scratch now.

“Do I feel free after the operation? The surgery went well. Everything is going well at the moment. I’m ready just in time to play a part in the Champions League final”, Hazard said.

“Now I’m starting from scratch, but with an important additional weapon. I’ve wanted that operation for a long time. In my head, I am completely free agent, care free.

“It’s up to me now to show myself and work hard every day, and to give the best of myself, whether I’m playing five or ten minutes, or longer.

“The coach knows that I still have a contract until 2024. My first three seasons at Real have not gone well, so I want to show everyone what I can do, starting with this Saturday. It has always been my dream to play for Real, and it still is.”
