His name may have been inextricably linked with Chelsea, the Belgian national team but also… Real Madrid, however the Eden Hazard she had excelled in her jersey Lil before establishing himself as one of the top footballers in the world.

The veteran midfielder for a few months belonged to the “lilouis” from 2005 to 2012 and as he revealed in an interview with La Voix du Nord, he thought about returning shortly before hanging up his boots!

What he said in detail:

“I’ve always been clear about that, Lille is my team, the only French team, I couldn’t wear another club’s shirt.

Before I retired, I thought about going back but it was too complicated and I no longer had the will. It was complicated on a family level because I would have to leave Madrid, where my family has settled, I had doubts.

On the one hand I wanted to go back because it would be great, on the other hand my body was starting to malfunction. Why should I go back? since I can’t cope? I wasn’t sure I can play at a good level after the injuries I’ve had in recent years. When I talk about Lille, one word comes to mind: Wonderful. From the beginning, when I was 14, until I left, it was great and not just at a football level.”
