Chelsea legend, Eden Hazard has come out to admit that he always returned for pre-season overweight at Real Madrid. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he always made sure he enjoyed his summers while he was in Spain because after playing professional football for months, your time off should be your time off.
Hazard added that he loves being with his family and drinking his favorite beers from Belgium.
His words, “It was true. But me, every summer I was putting on four or five kilos because I was thinking you give so much for 10 months, you put your body at the highest level and people kick you, so your time off is your time off. Don’t ask me to do anything. I enjoy being with my family, going to the beach, so don’t ask me to run in those three or four weeks. I can play football on the beach with my kids, no problem, but don’t ask me to run.
But if you look throughout my career, the first month [of the season] is the bit where I was thinking it’s just the beginning, and then from September and October I was flying, because I needed time to put my body and mind in the best way. So yes, it’s true, I came back after holidays with five kilos, I knew it. As a Belgian guy, we love beers because my country has the best beers in the world, so I’m not telling you I used to drink every day because it’s not true, but sometimes after a good game, one or two is nice.”
WOW.
