Belgian star Eden Hazard, who left the team after his contract with Spanish giant Real Madrid expired and did not sign with any team during the summer, announced his retirement last week.
Making a statement to the Belgian broadcaster L’Avenier, Hazard said the following about his retirement decision:
“You can’t explain everything in life. I’m at peace with myself and I’m happy. It was nice to see my name mentioned with many clubs, especially in Belgium. I didn’t have the chance to play in Belgium, it could have been a great story but it didn’t happen. I already thought about it when I retired from the national team. I would quit as soon as I no longer had fun on the field.” “I told you. I didn’t want to go and play somewhere for money. It was the best solution. I didn’t enjoy training anymore.”
Eden Hazard played for Lille, Chelsea and Real Madrid in his career.
