Eden Hazard Retires From professional football At 32 by nairalandkachy1(op): 10:28am On Oct 10, 2023
Eden Hazard has retired from professional football at the age of 32.

You must listen to yourself and say stop at the right time.

After 16 years and more than 700 matches played, I have decided to end my career as a professional footballer.
I was able to realise my dream, I have played and had fun on many pitches around the world.

During my career I was lucky to meet great managers, coaches and teammates - thank you to everyone for these great times, I will miss you all.

I also want to thank the clubs I have played for: LOSC, Chelsea and Real Madrid; and thank the RBFA for my Belgian Selection.

A special thank you to my family, my friends, my advisors and the people who have been close to me in good times and bad.

Finally, a huge thank you to you, my fans, who have followed me for all these years and for your encouragement everywhere I have played.

Now is the time to enjoy my loved ones and have new experiences.

See you off the field soon my friends.
#onestensemble ❤️

Eden Hazard was the bane of his own career.
He punctured his own career because of greed and impatience. He ought to have stayed at Chelsea and maintained the momentum but he left for Real Madrid where he became a shadow of himself, winning all his trophies from the bench. Where's the honor in that?

All the best Eden!!!
Your move to Real Madrid was miscalculated, well,that is life.
Injuries also marred your illustrous career at Real Madrid too.

HIS BEST CARREER TRANSFER TURNED OUT TO BE THE MOST UNFORTUNATE.

Any footballer who leaves Madrid don't remain the same, it's always downhill after real Madrid

Hazard was truly hazardous and in beast mode while in chelsea. One of the deadliest left winger ever seen. His union with the los blancos was indeed very low "yielding". If he did not make dat blockbustre move, who knows what his career would have become.

Hmm.🤔

Leaving Chelsea was Eden Hazard biggest mistake.

Nice one.

He was never good.
He was just good in the cheap EPL.

Look at how Boniface is dealing with their Harry Kane.

Punctured wetin. Everyone has a decision to make, we all just don't know the real future and outcome of our decisions no matter how much we plan, whether they end in good or bad.

All hopes on God alone.

Damn!

What a pity!!

If he were a Nigerian, they will blame village people.

Dude was the backbone of Chelsea that year embarassed
Re: Eden Hazard Retires From professional football At 32 by Samunique(m): 11:01am On Oct 10, 2023
Thank God that he's not a Nigerian, otherwise our over zealous, inferiority complex ridden sports journalists that always want to sound politically correct in other to please their western counterparts would have accused him of all manners of age cheating allegations just bcs he decided to retire early.

Nigerian football journalists are the bane of our football, always sounding annoying on Radio and TVs in other to stay relevant undecided

Eden, I wish you good luck, you've paid your dues, Chelsea will ever remain grateful to you, bcs we're not like ungrateful Napoli who treat their own players with disdain........

Coutinho should do likewise. Greed and impatience

I retired professionally @ age 18 . No b fuss about it.
Re: Eden Hazard Retires From professional football At 32 by nairalee(m): 11:03am On Oct 10, 2023
Respect to one great footballer.

His decline is one of the strangest things I've seen in football. From hardly ever injured in Chelsea to ALWAYS ALWAYS injured in Madrid.

Even though I believe u had more to give, the little u gave was more than SPECTACULAR.

Cheers Eden
