By Rik Sharma
MADRID, June 7 (Reuters) - After five years without a 'Galactico' 調印, Real Madrid have 新採用するd Eden Hazard to return the dishevelled Spaniards to their perch as the best 味方する in Europe, while the ベルギー hopes his new team can elevate him to a higher level too.
The 28-year-old agreed a five-year を取り引きする Real on Friday in a 報告（する）／憶測d 100 million euros ($113.35 million) 移転 from Chelsea, making him the club's 共同の-記録，記録的な／記録する 調印 with Gareth Bale, who joined from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013.
He is also Madrid's first marquee 調印 since 今後 James Rodriguez moved to the Bernabeu for 80 million euros after finishing as 最高の，を越す scorer at the 2014 World Cup.
But while the Colombian arrived at the then newly 栄冠を与えるd 支持する／優勝者s League 勝利者s, Hazard is joining a Real 味方する in 混乱 after they ended the season without a トロフィー and having finished 19 points 流浪して of La Liga 支持する／優勝者s Barcelona.
Even though Madrid have craved Hazard for years, the ベルギー's arrival is just one step in a 抱擁する 再構築するing 過程 存在 overseen by coach Zinedine Zidane, who has already 調印するd Serbian striker Luka Jovic and Brazilian defender Eder Militao.
Zidane is a known admirer of the former Lille winger and will hope Hazard's silky play and dynamic dribbling can 追加する excitement to Madrid's attack and 上げる their 病弱なing goal 脅し since かつてない 最高の，を越す scorer Cristiano Ronaldo left last year.
Madrid have struggled for goals since Ronaldo's 出発 for Juventus, as Welshman Bale and Marco Asensio failed to 首尾よく step up, and Hazard has come to fill that 無効の, 均衡を保った to operate from the left 側面に位置する with licence to roam.
The Belgium 今後's goalscoring 一致するs for Chelsea have been erratic over the past few years but under the London club's Italian coach Maurizio Sarri this season he has been lethal.
Hazard 得点する／非難する／２０d 16 首相 League goals and 供給するd 15 補助装置s as Chelsea finished third in t he standings, then 供給するing a fitting swansong with two goals and an 補助装置 in the 4-1 勝利，勝つ over 兵器庫 in the Europa League final.
TOP HONOURS
With Chelsea having fallen way behind Manchester City and Liverpool in the 首相 League, Hazard leaves Stamford 橋（渡しをする） hungry to compete again for the 最高の，を越す honours in the game, 特に the 支持する／優勝者s League which he has never won.
にもかかわらず Madrid's awful last （選挙などの）運動をする, he could hardly be joining a team better 詩（を作る）d in 上陸 Europe's エリート 競争, which they have won a 記録，記録的な／記録する 13 times.
"He's in the 最高の，を越す few players in the world," Hazard's former Chelsea team mate Frank Lampard told talkSPORT 無線で通信する last month.
"Of course it will be disappointing to lose him for the 首相 League, but 特に Chelsea. You don't 取って代わる Eden Hazard, you have to find ways around it."
Hazard's ability to ghost past defenders and link up with team mates should see him (1)偽造する／(2)徐々に進む a 広大な／多数の／重要な 共同 with Real striker Karim Benzema, who has enjoyed one of his best seasons にもかかわらず the Madrid 味方する's 集団の／共同の 失敗s.
Benzema spent years toiling on に代わって of Ronaldo, but Hazard 得点する／非難する／２０s and creates in equal 手段 and the French 今後 will enjoy 共同製作 with Madrid's new hope.
At Chelsea it seems Hazard often had to do it all himself, but if Zidane's 再構築する is successful the 高度に talented 今後 will have plenty of support at the Santiago Bernabeu.
