Eden Hazard: “I am hedonist. Grill, red wine, all”
A few months after withdrawal, Eden Hazard admitted that before the transition to Real Madrid, in the few weeks of summer vacation, he took nothing:
“After 7 years in England without a Christmas break, in which I had given everything I had, I wanted that in the 3 or 4 weeks of holiday I would not be disturbed. Barbecue, red wine, all those”.
“My weight? I wasn't paying attention to what I was eating, but I didn't even eat burger daily. I'm a hedonist (no hedonism – concept that the purpose of life is pleasure)I like to eat and drink with my friends. Diets are a pigdoes not work. If you want to play up to 40, ok, but I knew I wouldn't be that. I always had some champagne in the fridge”, The Hazard story.
