Along with the FA Cup and the League Cup at Chelsea, Hazard also won two Premier League championships and two Europa Leagues.
While speaking with L’Avenir in an interview, he said, “I always said that I would stop playing as soon as I no longer had fun on the field”.
“I didn’t want to go play somewhere for the money. I didn’t enjoy training… and I didn’t play anymore. The decision was simple”.
