Former Real Madrid, and Belgium player Eden Hazard addressed his weight problems, and run with Real Madrid with former Chelsea team-mate John Obi Mikel. The episode was streamed on Monday.
Hazard talked about the stories about his weight and fitness. He said: "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.
"I love everything with family and friends. If you ask me to eat something I'm going to eat. Even if I don't like it I'm going to eat!
"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."
Next, he talked about his run with Real Madrid which was somehow disappointing for a lot of his fans.
"I think I was a bit unlucky with that period with Covid, because if you want to know the real story, I went to Dallas to do the surgery on my ankle then I came back to Madrid and it was Covid." "I had two to two-and-a-half months of Covid, me at home alone, no physio to do the rehab. I did my rehab alone. If I had to choose one thing to change I should have said to the doctor "bring a physio, I need a good rehab". I have to do [it] because I want to play at the highest level."
"And then when the Covid finished, we came back on the pitch, I pushed my body like crazy but my ankle was not the same and then I break everything the season after and then you know the story.
'If you want me to change one thing it's call the physio "come home, I know it's COVID-19 but please come home, I need rehab". And things could be different at that time."
