Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: Hazard will play more this season | OneFootball

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says Eden Hazard will play more this season.

Ancelotti says he has plans to play Hazard across their attacking positions.

He said, "He'll play more than last year, considering he can play in a range of positions. He's done very well on the right, on the left and as a false nine, which we're trying at the moment. He can show the quality he possesses in all three positions."

On Real midfielder Fede Valverde, Ancelotti added: “He started well last year but he picked up an injury against Barcelona and he struggled to get back into the team. In the second half of the season he was brilliant.

"He's come on a lot and he's a crucial part of the squad. He's able to adapt to playing out wide and that really helps us in games. His presence and ability have helped us out time and again."
