3 Reasons behind Eden Hazard's slow start at Real Madrid

#1 Adaptation struggles

The attacker is yet to establish a decent connection with his teammates on the pitch.

One of the major challenges footballers face when they join new clubs is switching their roles and styles of play to fit into the systems utilised by their new teams.

Hazard is surely taking his time at Real Madrid. The playmaker is still struggling with adaptation issues at Santiago Bernabeu. He is yet to fully gel with the team, just as we've witnessed so far where he has been left deserted during many of his appearances for the Spanish giants.

Los Blancos manager Zinedine Zidane recently said that the Belgian needs to learn some little things to progress at the club. Until he acquires these little details and forges a decent understanding with his teammates on the field, it would be very difficult for him to fulfil his potential in the Spanish capital.

Although he has shown some improvements in recent matches, he still has a lot of work to do in that regard to make his time at the Santiago Bernabeu a remarkable one.
