Hazard has struggled to hit his known heights since moving to Madrid from Chelsea at the beginning of the 2019/2020 season.
After a forgettable first year in Spain where he managed only one goal and seven assists in 22 games in all competitions, the Belgian would have hoped to improve in his second season and that has not yet been the case.
Hazard has played only ten games in all competitions so far for Los Blancos, scoring only two goals in the process, a statistic which is very disturbing given the amount spent to secure his services from Chelsea.
Real Madrid fans are getting frustrated by the input of the former Lille man, but Zidane is adamant that the 30-year-old needs time to shake his injury off in order to get back to his brilliant best.
"You have to be patient, what you need is to score a goal. You have to be patient. The team has tried. You have to turn the page and keep working. We can't go crazy now," he told reporters after the game.
"I don't think people are tired of him. You have to be patient with him. He wants to get this out. Today it wasn't just Eden. We started the game badly, but he did well in the second half."
