How Eden Hazard Went From World Class to Retired at 32 

a talent without hard work means nothing

Eden Hazard's shocking fall from greatness has been one of the biggest stories in football over the years and it is probably the saddest fall from grace I've ever seen because 4-5 years ago, he was one of best players in the world during his time at Chelsea a top 10 player in European football and during this period, he was also the best player in the Belgium national team as he was brilliant when they finished 3rd place in the 2018 World Cup and now after his failed transfer to Real Madrid when he flopped and suffered a variety of injuries, he has seen his contract terminated by mutual consent and now he's without a club and at 32 there has been lots of talk about early retirement. Even before he went to Chelsea, at Lille he was literally a cheat code a very good left winger and at the time had lots of potential and was even crucial in Lille winning Ligue 1 in 2011 and when he was young he had the potential of a future superstar. In 2012, he made a move to Chelsea where the rest is history for Eden Hazard. During his 7 year stint there he produced some of the best football I've ever seen with world class dribbling unbelievable technique great at creating scored some wonderful goals and he was just unstoppable. He carried that team for the most parts of his career there and you just couldn't stop him he was able to do this every single time take players 1v1 and once he beat his man he would just keep going and do it again and again that's what made him so so good. His incredible performances, he was a crucial player during the Roman Abramovich era where he won 2 premier league titles and a bunch of other trophies FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Europa League. He was a club legend and is one of the best players to have ever graced the premier league. When he made that move to Real Madrid in the summer of 2019, he was signed to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, and for Eden Hazard it was a step up and was expected to even further his career and take his game to a whole new level after they paid big money for him. Overall, he flopped there and if he stayed at Chelsea he would give them at least 4-5 more great years at the highest level and would still be at his best but a lot has changed in the last couple of years and it's very sad to see someone who was that good have a big drop off in terms of performance and fitness.

His poor work ethic made his age and fatigue caught up to him. As a chelsea fan, his harsh downfall was most unfortunate but inevitable. Even ex chelsea like john mikel testified to hazard's poor work ethic yet superb talent. Stories of him getting shitfaced late at night and getting a hattrick the next day is everywhere on the internet rn.

For all the talents that came and couldn’t leave on a high, I respect Messi and Ronaldo even more for what they did as individuals

Every minute he played At chelsea Was So good I think he has done alot for himself and the Club..legend in the Blues

I read this long time ago but the article said that the style of hazard's dribbling style was one of the reasons he suffered from ankle injuries. Fast pace with quick stops with rapid turns like NBA players was one of the factors that led to his ankle injury. When he got his ankle injured for the second time, his surgery was done in USA by a doctor who specialises in doing ankle surgeries for NBA players.

He was gonna be a premier league legend till the move to Madrid

I miss prime Eden Hazard

Let's not forget that Lille's kits looked straight fire when Hazard was there

Incredible video man, prime hazard was actually insane

In the end, his fall from grace can only partial be faulted on his injuries. Knowing that you are going to get tackled a lot and not training properly is just asking for it tbh. Pretty much his own undoing

Goated Tuber The definition of the best and underrated at the same time

Man this guy was an absolute joy.. regardless of the downfall or not he still produce amazing football. I follow Liverpool but I follow brilliant talented players more! The game of football is amazing when you can appreciate the certain talent that comes & goes

love your videos man ,big love 😀😀

These vids are hella entertaining! Hopefully Kang-in Lee soon?

Love these videos ❤

Your videos are great ❤❤ keep it up 👍

Lets go another vid and its about maccas boy hazard hope u get to 50 k soon

Keep up the good work, I like your videos.

❤ your videos keep up the good work

Happy retirement king ❤😢

extremely fire video nabhu

Man it’s a shame he didn’t come to MLS. Would’ve been a joy to watch him tear up the league :/

Yes he has lost his career but...he will never ever ever lose his cake

Great video

I miss watching hazard even as a united fan i always remember watching MOTD an he was always scoring some absoulte beast goals his dribbling was insane one of the best ones iv ever seen was when he did that solo goal dribbling past the arsenal defence and also another one i really liked was the goal he scored past liverpool as well just incredible

W vid as always 🎉🎉🎉🎉

He was the best playmaker in a generation where playmakers were going extinct

Happy retirement Hazard. ❤

Eden used to be the premier league's hazard😢

This was a well made vid.

Thank you i’ve been waiting for a long time for you honestly to do a video on a Chelsea player and you couldn’t have made better choice than our legend Eden hazard

Mate I remember playing career mode in fifa when if you wanted to build around a young player it was either hazard or neymar damn I feel old!!

He never played in my team or against them but I really liked seeing him play and for me he was entertaining as Neymar for many games. It's sad to see how he fell and I really hope he'll go to the MLS and get his old form back

Nice vid keep it up

Sorry for asking for a pedri video so much, Eden should of stayed at chelsea or started working hard.

He reminds of Snijder…one of the best for long time and then never seen again😢

Man i like these rise and fall vids

🐐

He actually predicted the future

Fire vid

i still got his chelesa jeresy

around 2013 or 2014 if you have Hazard, + Cavani from Napoli + Lewandowski from Borussia its going to be a legendary season because this 3 players, if you want to compete with Messi+neymar+suarez or Ronaldo + Bale + Bezema, this is the players to go

Good video 😊

The fact as now I’m commenting this, Eden hazard has retired and Ozil. These guys were never forgotten ballers in the Premier league that were compared to players like Ronaldo and Messi. Hazard could’ve been the next Messi if he stayed at Chelsea and not be the worse flop at Real Madrid. It’s sad.😢

Really miss his Prime

I really hope u do a commentary about hakimi,he deserves way more recognition than he does,hes one of the best young full backs right now,so i would appreciate it of u do it on him

If someone can outshine Lukaku, Pogba, Dembele, Werner, Mane, Coutinho or Shevchenko as a transfer disaster, it has to be HAZARD!!!

Yes, his form was already dwindling, but not enough people talk about his major injury against Meunier that pretty much ruined his ability on the ball.

He gets paid millions to sit on the bench. Hazard is a genius!

Its so sad how he got so low. Something out of football might have happened as his fall was tremendous...

He can still play but he retire at very young age. He was Belgium GOAT and legend. Won Premier League, UCL, Europa League and other trophies. But sadly retire. He always was remember like the legend the king who wasnt become GOAT. God bless Hazard.

I remember when I knew nothing about football except the Hungarian one, and those trading cards were a huge success in the country. Everybody brought them into the school to flex them, or trade them. Again, I didn't know too much from the bigger leagues back then. And there were some mini tablet sized cards too, wich is the rare ones, and I remember getting a Hazard one. I tought he was the best. But after this whole trading card thing stopped in my school, since I didn't really watch football, I heard almost nothing about him. Like he dissapeared or something.

So, peak Hazard scored 17 goals in the Premier League. I could have sworn he scored more.

He’d be great for the mls fr

Hazard has won the second most player of the match award in the history of PL

As I see it at Chelsea Eden Hazard was a star player at Real Madrid Eden Hazard was just another player as Real Madrid had a team of stars.

Hey nabhuto I love ur videos but can you please do the rise of Mehdi Taremi I’m Persian and this would mean a lot ( he is the liga Portugal top goal scorer)

Love from India bro ❤

Not everyone needs to be a legend like Messi or Ronaldo. Hazard flopped at Madrid but he’ll always be a legend at Chelsea and I’m sure he’s fine with that

I will take him at United, only if he is willing to put in the work because my guy is still early 30s

I think his injuries got a lot to do with how fat he got entering Madrid more than if he was fouled a lot. Messi and Neymar would be dead now if that was the case.

Any rival fan that says they weren't terrified when he got the ball against their team is lying. This guy was a magician.

Like Bruce Lee said: I am not afraid of the man who has practiced 10 thousand kicks once, but I am afraid of the man who has practiced one kick 10 thousand times." So Practice everything.

Please make a video about rashford 😭 still a W video tho

if you check Wikipedia you might wonder, why his game appearance in career is not even 400 like HOF or legendary here is somthing i dig more for you: game appearance / Goals / assist 1.Premier League regular season : 245 / 85 /61 2.Ligue 1 : 147 /36 / 41 3.Champions League : 61 / 10 / 15 4.LaLiga : 54 /4 / 9 5. Europa League : 31 / 5/ 8 6. EFL Cup : 25 / 8 / 6 ( like the FIFA carabao cup) and many more small cup and small number of appearance so total is 623 / 167 / 157 so from 1 to 6 are major important cup lets see how many he got 563 / 148 / 140 from premier league hof requirement, you need at least 200 game appearnce for premier league season ( not including those other cup game appearance) i hope hazard can be the HOF, because he is definitely the HOF

u should make a vid on salah

i like him "but bullied my club a lot'😂😂

Real Madrid's white jersey can be very heavy at times

Eden at Chelsea was serious Hazard to teams in opposition. Sad to see this man fell off like this.

Another top video. As a Chelsea fan this hurts me.

Nah why he retired bro he still has so much more to prove

Injury prone but it was great while it lasted

People forget that training also help prevent injuries.

can you do mo salah cuz ur a liverpool fan u know :)

Hazard is an insane last name. He was such an amazing player and still is. He just needs to be at a better club that handles injuries better. There was always pressure for hazard, he had to basically replace Ronaldo, those were some shoes to fill. Madrid fans were always skeptical

I will support you forever Hazard

Kobbie Mainoo - Jude Bellingham - Trent Alexander Arnold, next please.

You forgot to mention that Tottenham Hotspur were on the verge of signing Hazard ahead of Chelsea because in the 2011/12 season Tottenham Hotspur ended the season in 4th position in the league which means they qualified for the Champions league the following season and Chelsea were outside the top 4 which means they were not going to make Champions league. BUT! Chelsea was in the Champions League final of the 2011/12 season, Hazard said that he will join the team that qualifies for the Champions league, so Chelsea won the final, taking Tottenham Hotspur spot and the rest is history.

That ball boy is now worth like 40mil he owns AU Vodka

Make a video on pedri

As liverpool fan hazard shouldn't have left he was one the best wingers in premier league at Chelsea

When Hazard kicked the “Ball Boy” (think that boy was in his mid 20’s). Sorry that man deserved it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

When you start playing ALOT professionally early at a young age of like 17 or 18, you're bound to start feeling the effects nearing 30. Thats clearly what happened to Hazard and it's so sad to see.

Who do you guys think is a bigger failure in terms of not reaching their full potential: Hazard or Neymar? On one hand, Neymar won more major trophies but he also got more talent, so that's kind of expected. Now he's joining a farmer's league in Arabia when he could be on a top team winning big. On the other hand, Hazard spent the last 3 years warming the bench at Real Madrid and now retirement looks like a realistic possibility. To me, that's a tough call

He was lazing, In his prime and it affected him when got older

Do a video on Mehdi Taremi bro he’s so underrated

do a vid abt dybala

From Eden Hazard to Emile Heskey REAL QUICK

They give him number 7 ;))

Do Benz

The pressure got to him probably

Can you do chicharito

Do rashford next

Talent ain’t enough Mudryk tattoo

The saying Hardwork beats Talent when Talent doesn't work hard rings true here, Hazard's the talent in that scenario. Wasted his god given abilities with his lifestyle choices.

Jose was right about Hazard and Ali.
