Eden Hazard: Funny Story When Chelsea Allegedly Told Stamford Bridge Burger Van Not to Sell to Him

Chelsea went out of their way to manage Eden Hazard's lifestyle during his time at the club and one such measure was reportedly telling a store owner not to sell a particular product to him.

• Eden Hazard announced his retirement from professional football early this week
• The last days of his career were blighted by injuries often attributed to his lifestyle
• A story has now emerged of when Chelsea told a store not to tell burgers to Hazard

Hazard spent seven successful years at Stamford Bridge and was a fan favourite thanks to his performances, particularly his dribbles, which dazed opponents and delighted the fans.

He left the club in 2019 and joined Real Madrid in a transfer described as a dream move for the player. Per BBC Sports, the Spanish club paid an initial £89 million plus £60mil in add-ons.

Etoo's old advice to Hazard

Sports Brief also reported Samuel Etoo's advice to Hazard on his training attitude during their time together at Chelsea under former coach, Jose Mourinho.

The Cameroonian legend warned his teammate he would be forgotten if he didn't train well in two years. It didn't happen that soon but it eventually did occur.

Hazard spotted at Stamford Bridge

Sports Brief previously reported on Hazard being spotted at Stamford Bridge before the 1-1 draw between his former club and visiting Liverpool.

The Belgian spent seven years at Chelsea and was clubless after leaving Real Madrid. It was initially unclear why he was there but it makes sense now.
