“The day he left we were sad, but then I was happy” Antonio Rudiger opens up on his feelings Eden Hazard leaving for Real Madrid

Ex-Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger unfolded dramatic comments on his new teammate Eden Hazard following his move to the Spanish capital. 

The German international was on Real Madrid’s radar since last season as the Madrid giants were keen on strengthening their defense after the departure of Rafael Varane to Manchester United. Another experienced defender Marcelo also bade farewell to the supporters as he became a free agent after the Champions League final.

Los Blancos landed David Alaba from Bayern Munich last summer and now they have managed to secure the Rudiger deal from Chelsea as he intended to discontinue the journey with London Giants.

What Rudiger actually said about Hazard?

Antonio expressed his experience and interactions with players at Chelsea especially with Eden Hazard that brought up his comments on which he said, “The day he left we were sad, but then I was happy for him, because I knew that Madrid had been his dream since I was a child, he told us. He was a big fan of Zidane.”
