New Real Madrid signing, Eden Hazard, has told manager Zinedine Zidane his best position in a team.
Speaking at his unveiling on Thursday, Hazard explained that he prefers to play in a no. 10 role behind the striker, slightly to the left.
“Zidane was my idol. He’s Real Madrid’s manager, it was important for me that he is here but not a defining factor because I always wanted to play here.
“It’s up to him where I will play but I prefer as a number 10 maybe slightly to the left,” the 28-year-old said.
Hazard, who was number one choice penalty taker at Chelsea, also spoke on taking on the responsibility at the Santiago Bernabeu, ahead of captain Sergio Ramos.
“I don’t think there’s one star at Real Madrid, it’s a team of star players.
“I was at Chelsea for seven years and now I am the new boy.
“Penalties? I think our captain takes the penalties well, I think he’ll continue to take them. I don’t think he will ask me to,” he added.
