“It’s a shame,” said Christophe Dugarry after Eden Hazard’s recent statements about his lifestyle.
Retired from the field since last summer at just 32 years old, Éden Hazard spoke at length in the columns of France Football about his 16-year career, revealing that he never made his healthy lifestyle a priority. “ I’m not going to say that I was abusing it. I wasn’t paying attention. But I didn’t go to McDonald’s every day. You don’t last sixteen years pro. I didn’t give it any importance. I’m a bon vivant, I like to eat, with friends, we have a drink. It happened to me the day before the match, eating at home, drinking a small bottle, tack. Oh me, Boxing Day, it’s Christmas, raclettes, wine”he confided.
“ We were going I don’t know where, goal, goal… While people tell me to be careful. It’s weird… Dietetics sucks, it’s useless. Well, it’s good if you want to play until you’re 40. I knew that wouldn’t be my case. A little Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, it’s always in the fridge…“, he added, also explaining that he arrived at Real Madrid with five extra kilos: “ I said to myself: ‘Now I’m at Real, this is perhaps the last vacation where I’ll be able to…’ And I let myself go like I let myself go every summer. Seven years in England, without a break at Christmas, giving everything, so when I have three or four weeks of vacation, ‘Don’t bother me’, barbecues, rosé, all that. And that’s what allowed me to reset and start again. Afterwards, Real, things went badly, and that’s it. »
At the RMC microphone, Christophe Dugarry was not the least outraged. Quite the contrary. “It’s very nice to put this out now but it had to be said first. It’s when you sign your multi-million euro contract that you have to tell the president that you’re going out in the evening. Did he tell his managers and teammates that he was getting drunk and that he didn’t like running in training? Football is a team and professional sport. You have obligations”he castigated.
The former Bordelais, who was nevertheless not the most keen on healthy living when he was a player, criticizes the Red Devil in particular for not having been honest with Zinedine Zidane, who brought him in among the Merengues. “Obviously you can’t follow the rules for everything, but promoting nonsense is a shame. Hazard was a great player but saying that is a shame for the supporters who paid to come see you play when you were drunk the day before. His interview is about making fun of the world and football. If you want to act brave, you have to say it before. Why didn’t he tell Zidane before being signed by Real Madrid for 100 million euros? “, he thundered, very angry at the Belgian.
