I don’t miss football – Chelsea’s Hazard speaks on retirement

Former Chelsea star Eden Hazard who retired at 32 has said he doesn’t miss football.

Hazard, who was among the popular players who graced the 2023 Ballon d’Or award ceremony, presented the Kopa Trophy to Jude Bellingham.

When asked by the host, Didier Drogba how his retirement is going, the Belgian gave a surprising response.

“I’m enjoying life, family and the kids,” Hazard said.

“I can do what I want. It’s a perfect life. At the moment I don’t miss playing football. Let’s see in a few months. My kids asked me to come to the Ballon d’Or so I said, ‘Okay, let’s go and spend the night in Paris.’”

Recall that Hazard made headlines when he announced his retirement from football earlier in October, four months after he left Real Madrid when his contract ended.

He struggled to impress with the Los Blancos before his exit from the club.
