Now, Eden Hazard has had an interview for France Football, where he has revealed why he did not succeed, and the reason is simply, he lacked professionalism and dedication. In addition, he also revealed why he never wanted to look like Cristiano Ronaldo.

“Going to training was even a bit shitty, I think. He would arrive, he wouldn't even tie my shoelaces and he would say: 'go ahead, it's okay.' Then they saw that he caught the ball and performed on the field, which was what was really important. You are good, you win, you get bonuses, everyone is happy. I laughed with all my classmates. In two or three things they made me understand that I had to be careful.”

Is Real Madrid a complicated place?: “Good stress, linked to the game, to the emotion, but not because of the responsibility. In fact, I was more stressed towards the end, when I was playing less. I had to play, I had to show. I don't know if it was stress. But he could tell me 'go ahead, I'm not fine, you know what, don't give me the ball.' At Real I had the impression that I was going to lose him before I had him.”

Why was Hazard never like Cristiano Ronaldo? He never wanted to?

"No. It wouldn't have been me. After a workout, soaking in a cold bath for an hour, no. Leave me alone, with my friends, let's go home, play cards, have a beer. I play for two hours with my children in the garden. It was my recovery. If I had been like Cristiano, that is the example of a good footballer, there are others, I would have been burned. "I didn't go to the gym every three days, I didn't do three hours of physical therapy to recover."
