DBasia.news – The Belgian wing striker, Eden Hazard, was introduced to the public as Real Madrid’s new recruit this summer, Friday (14/6) WIB. There were 50,000 supporters present at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Hazard, 28, was purchased from Chelsea for 100 million euros plus other variables. The former Lille player was the first star to come from the Premier League after the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.
The star in question is his legacy, success, and fame in Europe when he left his club. Hazard is different from Gareth Bale who came from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013, because Bale came as a talented young player.
Nevertheless, the presentation of Hazard’s introduction, which was previously said by Marca, will be carried out with excitement by Madrid over Ronaldo, in fact did not. The enthusiasm of fans is huge, but it hasn’t beaten CR7.
The former Manchester United star came to the Santiago Bernabeu after giving the Premier League and Champions League titles. At the Bernabeu, Portugal’s megastar was welcomed by 70,000 spectators and became part of the Los Galacticos volume II project.
Hazard finished second after Ronaldo with the biggest attendance at the Bernabeu when he was introduced to the public by Madrid. He was thrilled to realize his dream of coming to Madrid and thanking the fans.
“I always dreamed of Real Madrid. I did not say it today as I have signed a contract here, it has been like that since childhood. I have gone through several stages in my career. First in France and then in England,” Hazard said.
“The moment was perfect to come and play for Real Madrid. Now, I have to show my quality on the pitch.”
“Thank you (fans) for being here. I was very happy to see so many fans. Everything went well and I was very happy to have the chance to see my new fans. I can’t wait to play and show what can be done on the playing field,” he explained , quoted from the official website of Madrid.
Uniquely, the 50,000 fans defeated the total number of fans at the Bernabeu in Madrid’s last four matches at LaLiga. The fans’ disappointment towards the end of last season was the cause.
The match was against Getafe (48,364 spectators), Huesca (49,293 fans), Villarreal (46,294 spectators), and Real Betis (49,889 spectators). That’s just an introduction, especially later when the season has taken place. It could be that the amount will increase.
