Morientes Call Hazard isn’t Ronaldo’s Substitute at Real Madrid

DBasia.news –  Former Real Madrid striker Fernando Morientes also spoke about Eden Hazard’s arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu. According to him, Hazard did not come as a substitute for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a mainstay for nine seasons in Real Madrid uniforms. Various titles won by Ronaldo before leaving for Juventus in 2018.

The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo proved not easy for Real Madrid. Evidently, Los Merengues looks battered without the Portugal national team captain.

Real Madrid took a quick step in the 2019 summer transfer market. Eden Hazard was brought from Chelsea to cover the hole left by Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, Fernando Morientes seemed to doubt Eden Hazard’s ability. At the same time, the legendary Real Madrid striker admitted that his former team needed Hazard.

“No player can replace Cristiano Ronaldo. Also, there are no players like Ronaldo. Although Eden Hazard is indeed one of the best players in the world,” Fernando Morientes said.

“Even so, Eden Hazard was not brought to Real Madrid to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. Hazard must adapt well at Real Madrid.”

“Eden Hazard is a very talented player. In my opinion, currently Real Madrid need a player who can make a difference in their position,” continued Fernando Morientes.

Until now, it is not yet known how much Eden Hazard’s transfer was issued by Real Madrid. However, several media said Los Blancos spent up to 120 million euros.
