Hazard: As I've always said, I'm going to get back to being who I used to be
The Real Madrid player started Belgium's 6-1 victory over Poland.
Eden Hazard did not score in Belgium's 6-1 UEFA Nations League victory over Poland on Wednesday, but he was pleased with his performance at the King Baudouin Stadium.
Despite lacking a clinical touch in front of goal against Poland, the Real Madrid forward is confident that with more playing time, he will be able to rediscover his form.
"I've always said I'm going to get back to where I was by playing more games and minutes," Hazard said to RTL.
"I had opportunities, but I blew them." Let's see what happens next time."
Belgium travels to Wales on June 11, while Poland hosts Roberto Martinez's team three days later.
Their victory over Poland came just a few days after they were defeated 4-1 at home by the Netherlands.

Belgium's Eden Hazard believes he is back to his best after his team rallied from a goal down against Poland on Wednesday to win the Nations League 6-1.
From the moment Robert Lewandowski put Poland ahead in the 28th minute, it was all Belgium, with the Belgians controlling 60% of the possession and producing nine shots on target to zero in the second half.
Axel Witsel equalized just before halftime, before Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne combined to put the Red Devils ahead 2-1.
The final 20 minutes were an attacking display from the Belgians, with two goals to Leandro Trossard, Lois Openda completed the rout in the 93rd minute, after one to Leander Dendoncker.
Hazard told RTL Sport after the win that consistent playing time will be key to regaining his top form.
"I'm going back to being the player I used to be," he declared. "I'll become the player I once was by stringing together games and minutes." "There was no more desire in the team than there was against the Netherlands, but the score is very different." But it's true that after Friday's defeat, we talked about it and made plans. But it's a secret between us.
“
The team's reaction is fantastic. We needed to respond after the defeat, and now that it's done, I believe a lot of people will sleep– and me too.”
Hazard also emphasized the depth of the Belgian squad and expressed hope for some rotation in the starting lineup.
"There are two matches left," he said, "and we will go to Wales and Poland to win." "I hope coach [Roberto] Martnez recognizes that there are numerous players who can play – not just 11 or 12 players." We truly are a group."
While Hazard would like to see some new faces get some playing time, Martinez has made it clear that the Real Madrid man is not willing to be the one to sit – and that he is looking like his former self.
