Eden Hazard has said he wants to impress everyone at Real Madrid on his debut as Los Blancos prepare to face Bayern Munich in the International Champions Cup (ICC).

Concise News reports that the Belgian is eager to wear the Merengues‘ jersey and display his quality.

The former Chelsea man could get his first taste of action for Zinedine Zidane’s men in their friendly against the German giants in the early hours of Sunday morning.

“It’s just friendly games [coming up] but for me it’s going to be my first game with Real Madrid so of course, I want to impress everyone: my teammates, the boss, the fans so I will try to do my best,” he says in an interview with Jay Shetty.

“I try to play freely, sometimes it’s difficult in football, but I’m the kind of player who, if he does not play freely, it’s bad.”

“I like to put myself on the right [wing], then on the left, sometimes in the centre, playing by instinct. That’s football for me – instinct. I do not think about each action carefully, in a second I make the decision,” he adds.

On the pressure of playing for the 13-time European champions, the former Lille star admits the pressure at the Bernabeu is real but feels his experience will be key.

“When you play for [Real] Madrid you have to win every year. If in a year you do not win the Champions League, the fans are angry but it’s normal at a club like this. You need to win and that’s why I’m here.

“What can I contribute? I went to Chelsea seven years ago as a baby but I am more mature now – I have played more than 500 games, but I am 28 years old and I still feel young.

“La Liga is completely different from the Premier League but, with experience, you adapt quickly. I think that experience is the most important thing,” he stresses.
