Real Madrid Doesn't see move as beneficial for Belgian

Real Madrid continue Hazard pursuit

Zizou sets his heart on Hazard

Former Chelsea star midfielder Michael Ballack believes Eden Hazard should stay put, as a move to a club like Real Madrid doesn't suit the Belgian playmaker.

The reason behind the German's claim is questions of Hazard's leadership style, overall mentality and his quiet personality, which would be in constant conflict at a club like Real Madrid.

"Egos at Real Madrid would prevent him from being able to compete," Ballack said. "He is an emotional player that needs to feel comfortable with the coach and players.

"I'm pretty sure that if he does sign for Real Madrid it'll be a difficult adjustment because he is a bit introverted."

It'd be a radical change, then, from what he is used to at Chelsea.

"He isn't a player who likes to talk a lot, and at Real Madrid, with the players they have, it'd be different for him," Ballack went on. "At Chelsea, he knows what he has, and is one of the stars of the team.

"Hazard must decide if he wants to try his luck at Real Madrid or stay and fight for a Champions League at Chelsea.

"That's difficult because there is money involved -that is probably the reason."
