In a charity match in France, former Chelsea and Real Madrid star Eden Hazard made a stir by providing a backheel assist to Kylian Mbappe’s father.
On the 18th of October, Hazard wore jersey number 10 for Le Varietes Club de France versus Team Calais at Stade de l’Epopee in Calais, Hauts-de region, France. He recorded a goal and two assists in the match.
In pаrticulаr, it wаs the 32-yeаr-оld fаmed plаyer’s оne-tоuch heel strike thаt sent а fever thrоugh the crоwd, аllоwing Mbаppe’s fаther, Mr. Wilfried, tо mаke а breаk fоr it. The scоre wаs 5-0 when Mr. Wilfried reаched the penаlty аreа аnd fаked а kick, mаking the оppоsing gоаlkeeper miss the shоt.
Numerous supporters have taken to social media to express their dismay at Hazard’s retirement and to urge him to change his mind. On October 10, Hazard revealed that he would be retiring from professional soccer at the age of 32. He thanked his supporters and teammates from the Belgian national team as well as Lille, Chelsea, and Real Madrid.
A few days later, West Ham’s assistant coach and former striker Kevin Nolan invited Hazard to try out for the team. Neither Hazard nor West Ham has addressed this suggestion at this time.
Fans were treated to a magnificent performance yesterday at the 12,000-capacity Stade de l’Epopee, which featured the involvement of numerous legends. Hazard played alongside former Barca and Arsenal greats Ludovic Giuly and Robert Pires for Le Varietes Club de France.
Former Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye joins Didier Deschamps and Claude Puel (for a combined age of 107!) in the middle of the field. Christian Karembeu (formerly of Real Madrid and Middlesbrough), Daniel van Buyten (previously of Bayern Munich), Laurent Blanc (previously of Manchester United), and Mathieu Debuchy (previously of Arsenal) all make up the back four. Ex-Arsenal keeper Jens Lehmann stands in the wooden cage. Mr. Wilfried, Mbappe’s father, is on standby.
Over $15,000 (roughly 12,900 GBP) was raised for Pieces Jaunes, a charity that aids hospitalized children and teenagers.
Hazard, 32, announced his retirement after the game despite interest from teams in Saudi Arabia, the United States, Turkey, and France. When I stopped enjoying myself on the field, I promised myself that would be it. In his own words, the Belgian superstar had no interest in playing anywhere merely for financial gain. It’s the most effective strategy, and it’s also the simplest. I’ve lost interest in physical exercise. Nothing can be explained in this life. My inner turmoil has subsided. Happiness has found me. So much is expected of me right now. A career path apart from football should be a nonviolent one.
