Eden Hazard remains one of the best signings for Chelsea in their club history. But, unfortunately, it did not work out for him at Real Madrid. He made the decision to retire from playing soccer. Now an ex-Chelsea star has revealed the Belgian calling and telling him to ‘stop talking sh*t’ about him and the Saudi offers.

Hazard was essential for the Blues in winning plenty of trophies in all the competitions. This is the reason many wanted him to stay for the rest of his career. However, after four years in Real Madrid failing to prove his expertise as expected, last month, he decided to retire.

Chelsea legend reminisces having a funny conversation with Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard was Chelsea’s main man on the pitch for many seasons. During his time in the Premier League, he also became one of the best wingers in the league. But, to the surprise of many soccer fans, Blues legend John Obi-Mikel has revealed in a number of interviews that he was the laziest and poorest player in training. He has also recalled how he ended up having a hilarious call with Hazard after the Belgian watched his interviews.

John Obi-Mikel, in his conversation with Rio Ferdinand, revealed, “I had a phone call with him(Hazard). First of all, I called, but he didn’t give an answer. Then, the next day I called, he picked up and started saying, You, You’re talking so much sh*t about me. And then I was like I am not talking sh*t about you. I am only saying how good you were because you achieved all without putting an effort. Imagine, if you had put an effort.”
