Enjoyable Eden Hazard!
The veteran, a few months ago, gave an interview to Teamwhere, among other things, he shared his… dislike of dieting, while characterizing them Lionel Messi and Neymar as perhaps the only better players than him.
“If I was like Cristiano Ronaldo, this is the example, I would have burned out. When you’re good on the field, you do what you want. I made it on my own. I didn’t go to the gym every three days, I didn’t do three hours of physical therapy to recover. But I made a difference. The requirement is to be good. I didn’t watch what I ate, but I didn’t go to McDonald’s every day. You can’t do that for 16 years. I didn’t think it was important. I like pleasures, I like to eat and drink with my friends. Dieting sucks, it’s useless. It’s good to want to play until you’re 40, but I knew that wasn’t going to be me. I always have some champagne in my fridge.
Lionel Messi is probably the only player who is better than me. I enjoyed watching him when he was at Barcelona. Then I didn’t watch him as much as before, but he is the best player in history. Cristiano Ronaldo is a bigger player than me, but he is not better than me when it comes to pure football. Neymar, maybe it is.
You have to know how to listen to yourself and say stop at the right time. After a 16-year career and more than 700 matches, I have decided to end my career as a professional footballer. I managed to realize my dream, to play and have fun in the stadiums all over Europe and the world. Now is the time to enjoy my loved ones and live new experiences.
Football is not a profession. It’s a game. And I tried to play it to the end. When it wasn’t like that anymore, I stopped. I knew it was my job, I made my living from it. But I wanted to be away from it. It’s my favorite, my game. And that’s why I made this career. That’s how I felt. My career is a best seller“, the 33-year-old veteran ace said, among other things.
