"There have been difficult times because I want to play and I don't play. I feel good at Real Madrid, I just play less. And when I play, I play well. It's a delicate situation because I want to play more."

Belgium boss Martinez says Eden Hazard is happy again

Meanwhile, Belgium coach Roberto Martinez has claimed that Eden Hazard is 'happy' again and remains unfazed by his lack of minutes at Real Madrid, Goal reports.

Martinez featured the Real Madrid star for 65 minutes for his national team as Belgium posted a 2-1 triumph over Wales in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday, September, 22.

The Belgian manager insists he will continue to back Hazard and is revealed that the forward will feature in the upcoming Nations League fixtures and remains in his plans for the World Cup in Qatar.

Carlo Ancelotti explains the reason for dropping Eden Hazard

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Eden Hazard was an unused substitute as Real Madrid dug deep to secure their third consecutive La Liga victory against Espanyol on Sunday, August 28.

The La Liga reigning champions needed Karim Benzema to bail them out with two late goals to defeat a stubborn Espanyol team 3-1 at the RCDE Stadium.

Carlo Ancelotti has now revealed his decision not to field Eden Hazard at all in the encounter even when Los Blancos were chasing a winning goal late on.
