Eden Hazard has revealed his bad habits towards the end of his failed career with Real Madrid before finally deciding to hang up his boots.
Former Real Madrid midfielder Eden Hazard has spoken to John Obi Mikel, his former teammate at Chelsea, revealing his bad habits off the field towards the end of his playing career.
Hazard, who was an exciting signing for Real Madrid in the summer of 2019, revealed he did not train much during the off-season. And speaking to Obi Mikel, he also admitted that he likes to down beer even during the season.
‘Every summer I gain four or five kilograms because I think I’ve given so much in 10 months,’ Hazard said. ‘You push your body to the highest level and people kick you. So your free time is your time. As a Belgian I like to drink beer Because my country has the best beer in the world. I didn’t tell you that I used to drink every day. Because that’s not true. But sometimes after a good game A drink or two would be good.’
Hazard went on to say that the off-season is his personal time. Therefore, he did not expect training at all.
‘Don’t ask me to do anything. [In the summer]’ Hazard said. ‘I like to be with my family, go to the beach. Don’t ask me to run in those three or four weeks. I can play football on the beach with my kids, no problem, but don’t ask me to run.’
Hazard also addressed his slow start to 2019 due to being overweight. And finally it got better. Before everything was destroyed by the tackle of Thomas Meunier, a fellow defender in a confrontation with Paris Saint-Germain.
‘The first month of the season was when I thought this was just the beginning. Then from September until October. I’m flying Because I need time to get my mind and body in the best shape,’ Hazard explained. ‘Yes, it’s true. I came back from vacation with 5kg more. I know.’ ยูฟ่าเบท
‘I’m think I was unlucky at the time with Covid,’ Hazard said of his recovery after Meunier’s tackle. ‘I went to Dallas to have surgery. And when I came back to Madrid Covid is already there.’
‘During the 2 months of lockdown I’m home alone I’m recovering. If I had to choose to change just one thing You must ask the doctor to bring a physical therapist. When we return to the field I hurt myself But my ankle was never the same again. And I ruined the whole season. You know the rest.’
‘I exercise at home and for me It’s enough I don’t think there is anything more to do. After 2 months I realized I should have done more. When I return to the field I noticed it And we were close to winning the title, so I told Zidane ‘I want to help, I want to push’.
‘And on the day we won the title I said ‘No, I can’t do any more, I’m done. My body suffered a lot. So I need to make a proper recovery.’ But it’s the end of the season.’
