Hazard: I dream of playing for Zidane

'Los Blancos' have repeatedly been linked with a move for the Belgian in recent times and the player appears to have opened the door to a move after admitting that it would be a dream to play for the Frenchman.

Speaking to Belgian TV channel 'RTL', Hazard explained that the World Cup winner was his idol growing up and that he would love to work with him as a manager.

"Everyone knows the respect I have for Zidane as a player, but also as a manager. He was my idol," he explained.

"I do not know what will happen in my career in the future. However, for sure, to play under Zidane would be a dream.

"I am enjoying life at Chelsea. I still have a lot of things to achieve with them. I am focused on playing for Chelsea."

Though Hazard also said that he would love the hance to work with former boss Jose Mourinho again.

"Of course [I would enjoy working with Mourinho again]. I like facing him also as an opponent. If we were to work together in the future it would be with pleasure," he said.

Finally, the 26-year-old also admitted that the period in his career which saw Mourinho sacked by Chelsea in 2015 was among the worst he has experienced.

"There have been a few [bad times in my career]," he said. "We have had a few managers over time, which is not great.

"Mourinho was sacked the year after we won the league. In terms of selection I have known some highs and lows too. It wasn't always great.

"There have been a few [highs]. The double with Lille was a special moment. To win with Chelsea, I am not saying it is easy, but it's a big club so we are more used to winning.

"At Lille we're not used to it - we won the French Cup and the Ligue 1. That will rest with the supporters for a long time."
