hazards too talented. hell come good in the end. first year is always tough. if madrid is patient with him i fully expect him to excel in his second season
He will turn 30 next season. He is already past his absolute peak and likely only has 2-3 prime years left in him.
Not the ideal age to be "patient" with a player or "wait for him to develop."
Madrid bought him as a short-term investment to act as a stopgap world class player while they transition from their current finished generation to the next era.
Chelsea and the EPL was the perfect situation for him. I don't see him succeeding in the setup Zidane currently has Madrid playing.
