During his incredible career, Eden Hazard has seen and done it all. At 32 years old, he has already entered his prime professional years, and it might come sooner than everyone anticipated.
In a sneak peek of the upcoming “Believe” documentary, which centers on the Belgium national team, Hazard seems to be preparing to hang up his boots.
“Slowly but surely, the time has come to enjoy life with my family and friends while sipping a few Jupiler beers,” the speaker said.
Now that Hazard is a free agent, the only recent rumor concerning his future is that he will go back to Chelsea. Hazard, however, might be prepared to ride out into the distance if his statements are anything to go by.
Although he did state that the time would arrive “little by little,” most leagues around the world including the European season have already started.
Madrid disappointed, but praise everywhere else
In his final season at Real Madrid, Hazard played in just 10 games in all competitions before his contract was terminated in June. He only managed seven goals during his four seasons with Real Madrid.
After Belgium’s embarrassing group-stage loss in Qatar, Hazard announced his retirement from international football.
If this is the end of Hazard’s career, he will be regarded as one of the best Belgian players ever as well as one of the most talented wingers the game has seen recently. He left a profound mark on the history of Lille and Chelsea while winning multiple individual and team trophies.
