In the world of football, Hazard's name used to symbolize speed, skill and victory. But today, when we talk about the Belgian superstar who has hung up his boots, we're talking about the little things in life, like eating and enjoying life. In a recent interview, Eden Hazard shared his thoughts on what to eat and how to live, giving us a glimpse of who he is different from on the pitch.
Hazard admits that his eating habits are quite "normal" and that he does not deliberately limit himself. Such an attitude may not be common among professional athletes. He says he doesn't go to McDonald's every day, but he doesn't be overly careful. This relaxed attitude may be one of the secrets of his 16-year career in the high-intensity world of football. Hazard's philosophy of life is simple:Enjoy life and spend quality time with your friends.
Hazard shares his way of relaxing on the eve of a race – eating and drinking with friends at home, even if it's a holiday like Christmas, and not forgetting to enjoy grilled cheese and wine. Such a lifestyle may be unimaginable for many athletes who pursue the ultimate professional attitude. But for Hazard, that's the beauty of life.
Towards the end of his career, Hazard's attitude remained the same. Even under the pressure of competition and training, he maintained his lifestyle and was an optimistic and loving person. Recalling an anecdote in the Belgian national team, where he was punished for eating a burger after an important match, he reacted surprisingly lightly, even joking that the Belgian burger was delicious and that they might have been able to enjoy it together if the manager had been there.
After joining Real Madrid, Hazard indulged himself on holidays and started the season overweight by 5 kilograms. He also made no secret of this. His final season at Chelsea was the pinnacle of his career, and after leaving, he told himself it might be the last time he enjoyed his holiday. This love and enjoyment of life has not changed even when there are challenges in the course of a career.
Eden Hazard's story shows us that even world-class football superstars live as much of a quest for simple pleasures as we do. In his world, football is his profession and passion, but the joy of life is just as important. He used his own experience to remind us that no matter what profession we are in, the most important thing is to enjoy life and cherish every moment with family and friends.
Hazard's retirement is not only an end to his career, but also a continuation of his philosophy of enjoying life. Outside of football, he has found his own little luck, which is perhaps the best inspiration for all those who love life.
