Hazard was back in the line-up on Thursday evening but was unable to help Los Blanco avoid defeat to Athletic Club in the Spanish Super Cup.
Despite only scoring two goals in 10 appearances this season, Zidane has leaped to the defence of his big-money season.
"He needs to recover confidence, play a great game or score a goal, just to do something different," the manager said, as per Daily Mail.
"We know what a great player he is and we need to be patient with him as he is working hard..
"We are behind him and we must give him time. The fans want to see the best version of Eden so we must be patient.
"We're sticking with him and he really wants to step up. But today it wasn't just Eden, we're all in this together."
