Former Chelsea and Real Madrid forward, Eden Hazard, has revealed why he took the decision to retire from international football.
The former Belgian captain retired from football in a shock announcement last Tuesday despite only being 32.
Hazard, who won the Premier League on several occasions, suffered years of injury problems at Real Madrid before his contract was finally canceled at the end of last season.
“I had always said that I would stop as soon as I didn’t have fun on the pitch anymore. I didn’t want to go and play somewhere for the money”, he told L’Avenir.
“It was the best solution. I didn’t enjoy training anymore… And I wasn’t playing anymore. The decision was simple.
“In life, you can’t explain everything. I am at peace with myself. I’m happy. I have so many things to do outside of football that I was able to make a serene choice.”
