Ancelotti confirms he will try Hazard in new position this season

"My idea is to try Eden Hazard in the false 9 position. It can be good for us to have him there," Carlo Ancelotti has said, as quoted by Managing Madrid's Kiyan Sobhani.

It was previously reported that Hazard could serve as Karim Benzema's backup this season. We even showed what it could look like in a lineup.

Last season, Hazard was used in all three positions upfront, although he mostly played on the left. Thanks to his technical abilities, Eden in the false nine position could benefit Real Madrid in terms of possession and creativity.
