Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has been left unamused by the performance of new signing Eden Hazard, according to a report from Spain. The former Chelsea star is yet to live up to his hefty price tag with his inclusion barely doing much to fix Los Blancos' struggles that are prevalent in the ongoing pre-season.
After falling short in both Europe as well as La Liga last season, Real Madrid's desire to return to the top level once more has been left with unsatisfactory result in ongoing preparations ahead of the new campaign. Despite bringing in a host of players to bolster the side, Zinedine Zidane's men are yet to record a single win in the preseason friendly.
The weekend's outing saw the Merengues fall to a humiliating 7-3 defeat against crosstown rivals Atletico Madrid. As if the battering was not enough, the Bernabeu outfit will lose the likes of Thibaut Courtois, Luka Jovic, Ferland Mendy and Marco Asensio to injuries ahead of the start of the 2019/20 season.
With concerns growing and other relative matters arising in the camp of the Whites, one player that has seemingly left a mark on club president Florentino Perez is Eden Hazard. According to Spanish news outlet Sport, the former has 'no confidence' in the 28-year-old Belgian playmaker who has so far failed to impress despite being highly recommended by Zinedine Zidane.
Earlier reports indicated that the ex-Chelsea star arrived for pre-season seven kilos overweight and has been unable to even shed half of the excess. With the player costing more than Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, the club is said to be rooting for him to make adequate adjustments with the new season being just a matter of days away.
