As for Real, the adventure was less glorious. In the podcast Checko VarEden Hazard returned to his only regret in his career and it was physical.
“If I could change just one thing from the past, it would certainly be the ankle operation, which I underwent in March 2020. When I returned to Madrid from Dallas, Covid-19 had just broken out. I spent more than two months alone at home, requiring rehabilitation, but without a physiotherapist. If I could change one situation from my past, it would be this one. I called the doctor and asked him to come and treat me even with the pandemic. My goal was to return to the high level. At the end of the confinement, I returned to the field, but my ankle was not feeling well. In fact, it broke again. It hadn't changed.” he told listeners.
