After three games waiting, Real Madrid fans had a chance to watch new signing Eden Hazard at the Bernabeu. While the Belgian ace did not score in his debut, he left some tokens of his class during his first appearance. Nevertheless, there was one of his team-mates that wants to have a word with him in order to help the team.
That team-mate is none other than Thibaut Courtois, who was praised by many after his key save in the dying moments of the match. The Belgian shot-stopper admitted that he was a bit nervous after his friend and compatriot tried to show some flashy skills when all the team needed was to hold on to the ball.
"Eden shows what he's got in that moment where he almost scored. He is cool enough with the ball and he knows when to hand out the assist. I have to be a bit angry at him because he tried a couple of backheel flicks and he lost the ball. But considering those details he showed today, he can be very dangerous up front," Courtois said after the game.
The Belgian shot-stopper admitted being frustrated after not being able to keep a clean sheet this season, especially in a game such as the one today, where Los Blancos were leading 3-0 at halftime.
"At the break, we were thinking about keeping a clean sheet, but they changed the dynamics of the game with an early goal. We should have kept the same intensity, but the international break may have taken a toll on some of us," Courtois added.
