Eden Hazard, Belgian midfielder for Real Madrid, tried to find something positive about the nightmare he has suffered with injuries since he signed with the Madrid team and assured that “being injured is not the end of the world” because it allows him to “spend time” with his family .
“I’m lucky that when I’m injured and I have to stay home, my family helps me get through it. It’s not the end of the world because I can spend time with my kids. When you’re injured and alone, it can be tough, but My family supports me, “he said in ‘On The Front Foot’ magazine.

“When you’re injured you can do a lot of things. You can work to get well faster, but the injuries I’ve suffered take time to heal. I just have to wait, work hard, and get better. When I’m home, I can enjoy family time.” added.
Hazard thanked the help he has received from Real Madrid staff since his arrival and revealed how it was he himself who worried about looking for a house in the capital of Spain and even school for his children.
“In Madrid there are people who help the players, but when I arrived, I said that I would do it for myself. I looked for a house and a school for the children. In the club there are people who offer you a lot of help and it is important, because we arrived players with children and when you are on the field, you need to be focused on football, “he said.
Once again, the Belgian star publicly showed his admiration for the figure of Frenchman Zinedine Zidane. “When I was little the team I watched the most was France. The players I looked at the most were Zidane and Henry, and although it is difficult to admit because of my relationship with Chelsea, I liked Arsenal with Pires, Wiltord and Vieira.”

For the moment and despite the bad streak of injuries in the last year and a half, Hazard sees his retirement far off. “I hope to play football for as long as possible and always try to enjoy the field of play.”
And the day that comes he assures that he will look back and see his achievements. “My priority now is to play well and enjoy football. I don’t know where I’ll be in the next few years, I just turned 30 and fortunately I can play at least five or six more years,” he said.
