This guy man. No frills, no bullshit... just seems like a happy go lucky guy. Who also happened to be one of the best footballing talents of his generation. People want to hold him to a higher standard... and he's out here just being himself. Not giving a shit and enjoying his life. You have to respect it!
People have the right to put him to higher standard. The guy was earning crazy money, was highest earner in Madrid by a long mile.
@@langletprolet8378 he got the contract based on his performance for chelsea, that is just how it works in football, players don't get paid game by game based on their performance because that seems cruel, so for a game that generates a lot of money, I don't think players earning a lot of money is a bad thing
For real 👊🏿
@@langletprolet8378Absolutely not his fault that he was injured. Not that hard to understand.
@@langletprolet8378 was it your money that was paying him ? Hate people like you. Are you giving always 100% at the work? When you're ill or even injured from wm operation, don't you want to relax a lil bit ?
Eden trashing Tottenham in retirement. LEGEND 💙
This podcast is opening doors that we never see in main stream Media.
I’ll personally make sure people will never get away with Hazard disrespect in my presence. One of the best.
fr. people will praise ronaldinho then hate on hazard bc he didn’t push himself to reach messi’s or ronaldo’s level. and those people don’t consider that if you get too obsessed with records and competing with absalute animals like ronaldo and messi could take away ur enjoyment for the game.
I love hazard but his time in madrid was absolutely shambles to his legacy. Bale gets shit treatement where he contributed so much for real madrid. Hazard just had a walk in the park & collect ucl medal, whilst doing NOTHING
@@thecitizens4573 you are talking as if Hazard got praised for that bruh...Bale would 1000% still be praised more for his contributions for Madrid for sure but you are talking like Bale was consistent...RM didn't even treat Casillas well and you expect Bale to be treated well lol
U cannot put him in the same sentence as dinho, relax
@@kopchat_tv nah if Neymar can be put then I don't see why Hazard can't
Eden Hazard is a generational talent. He is special in his own way. you cant box him. He is one of the most creative players the EPL ever had
not just EPL , in the world
deez nuts are a generational talent
Meastro hazard ,,,,,, the man the legend ......... miss those days , eden, Willian , Pedro, Oscar, Costa...... damn was fire
A true fan. Don't forget to add Cesc Fabregas. I really miss him
That squad was so good
I was so ungrateful back then.
Great squad. Go back 5 years or so, and u have a better one - JT, Frankie, Drogba, mikkel, essien etc etc
Also don't forget the special one Didier Drogba in front fire 🔥 😅
Thank you Mr. Abramovich for Hazard. His football knowledge and genuinely love for Chelsea brought Hazard. Mannnn, I miss that guy as an owner of our club.
As a United fan, I feel sorry for you guys, Abramovich was one of the best owners of a top club ever, now you guys are left with some clueless franchise owner.
@@jamiemb17why you guys blame owners when evrything goes bad though?? Didn’t boehly splurge 2BILLION in TWO windows for you guys ?? Getting all the “top young guns” for you? The way you guys mock liverpool after outbidding for enzo/caicedo/lavia. If that’s signing turn up good then the words would be “thank you boehly for the guys”??
@@thecitizens4573 who would have thought, signing a bunch of young players from different leagues and stuffing them into a team together wouldn't work very well? And now the club is stuck with those players on huge contracts, and can't spend more because they spread the costs out to future seasons. Of course we could give Boehly plaudits if it worked well, that's what you usually do when people do things well!!!
Wasteful $2b@@thecitizens4573
@thecitizens4573 it still boils down to smart ownership.
Not just spending billions but spending it to acquire the right people which Abrahimovich was so good at
No joke, he won so many games on his own for Chelsea. Best individual talent I've seen at Chels. Just give the ball to Eden and he'll make something happen.
for 6/7 years about 50% of the attack ran purely thru him. not to mention all the motms he’s got even in a stacked club like chelsea
Hazard the great saying 'I lost my place to Vini' speaks volumes about his character and how a genuine human being he is.....
Says a lot about his lack of professionalism
@@sushiii23pro hater
idiot.@@sushiii23
@@sushiii23 how about you? lack of respect for a top player like him. who are you to talk about professionalism? what you achieved in your life?
Probably nothing at all@@SDA2564
If contentment is a person, it is Eden Hazard.
Respect man.
This was the best ex-pro interview I've ever heard. No cookie cutter answers just honesty and laughs
💯
Exactly!!
Emphasizes on "cookie cutting" ... It's boring
How can you not love Eden Hazard?
This Episode and Mourinho’s seems to be the most interesting.
We will be waiting for Drogba’s.
The King
Honestly, how could someone not like my man EDEN HAZARD.
What a guy, legend of the game 💯
As a Man Utd fan, I have enormous respect for Eden Hazard! He was a brilliant player and he's definitely one of the best Pl wingers of all time along with Beckham, Ronaldo, Salah and Bergkamp. Hazard's peak was unreal and very few players could actually match his peak form.
Lowe it bruv Salah should not be anywhere near these players
@@P17RASHe absolutely should.
@@user-zm9xf7mo4p 🤣🤣🤣 bruv this is the problem with u man just g/a merchants. U man literally have no respect for the past do u realise how good these man were berkamp etc
@@P17RAS yh he shouldn't because he clears them all in goals, asissts etc
@@flamzy4574 alright ngl cba to respond to u properly
We still remember your career, your *magic* in tough games you scored, and every funny moment about you. The street will never forget Eden Hazard. I swear
"I was on the pitch to win us games. Simple as that." - Eden Michael Walter Hazard. 🤩🤩🤩
Eden & N'golo in the last decade have brought me sooo many happy memories as a Chelsea fan. 💙
I love how Hazard is finally open to doing interviews and being in the limelight off the pitch
This is testament to Jon as a man. Terry, Hazard, Jose.. never hear these guys on pods and he just makes it happen. Legend
Honestly, for people outside of the elite athlete world, it's easy to criticize those players at times but for me, what I think from this man is his honesty and how he enjoyed playing. He reminds me a lot of Ronaldinho in the sense of pure talent and constant joy to just play the game. They never sugarcoated the way they just love to have fun outside of the field. Yes, he could have achieved a lot in Madrid but that doesn't mean his career was wasted. All the best on this new chapter of his life!
The player that made me fall in love with football, and love Chelsea even more, will never forget seeing his solo goal in 16/17 vs Arsenal at the Bridge with my dad, special moment and a special player 💙
❤
Yup. Me too. I’m American and never watched the game. But I happened to see a Chelsea game with Hazard one day and have been a fan of the game ever since
@@mrmoe110that's so cool, been a Chelsea fan since 6 and that aera with chelsea was special. Just watching the wizard do his thing
I remember seeing that goal and watching it over and over and then coming across an arsenal fan’s video about it and him having an absolute meltdown over it and it was wonderful lmao
This man is a chelsea legend , sad he never won the ucl with us but he's a blue through and through, so glad he chose us
Seems like such a down to earth guy. He truly loves football deeply and all he ever wanted to do was to enjoy himself on the pitch, nothing more, nothing less. Thanks for the memories Eden.
Prince of Stamford Bridge. What a legend of the game he is. We will always love you at Chelsea, Eden!
Hazard in his prime gave the very best defenders nightmares
Eden got you off your seat for 90 mins the anticipation he had for something special was always around the corner the G.O.A.T
Obi Mikel - you absolute legend getting the one the only Eden Hazard on the podcast - couldn't ask for a better birthday gift to listen to this episode today :)
No pretense.
No faking it.
Brilliant responses.
Thank you for everything, dear Eden!
Best dribbler to grace the league, most influencial player in recent years. What a player. Made me fall in love with football, shame people forget about his late Lille and early Chelsea career.
Zola and Ginola were just as good at dribbling.
@@ronniep9272 Hazard was a combination of them both!
He was small like Zola and would wriggle through (what seemed like) impossible gaps with the ball while being explosive like Ginola to weave in and out of defenders leaving them trailing behind him.
Easily the best dribbler the premier league has seen imo.
@@ErikLehnshurr yes but he didn't have the amazing first touch of either of them.
@@ronniep9272 I agree with that 100%, however the original point we was making was about dribbling abilities.
I love how honest he is. He just wanted to enjoy football and he truly did! and in the process made me fall in love with the game. What a guy, what a player. My GOAT
refreshing to see a non-robotic personality in Eden... what a phenomenal player & a guy.
Nice One

What a player. #1 legend in chelsea history. Pure talent. No drama, just football
Def top 10 but not 1. JT or Lampard
@@jaelynagu2238He's definitely our best ever technically gifted player, Him and Gianfranco
JT is number one. Eden is top ten though
@jaelynagu2238 your no1 can't be a slimeball like Terry.
1. JT
2. Lampard
3. Drogba
4. Cech
5. A.Cole
We wouldn't have won half the trophies without these lads making sure our standards stayed extremely high regardless of manager changes.
I still remember that John Obi Mikel goal vs Fulham. Love from India John. ❤️
I have to say this episode with Hazard was just a joy to watch. He’s a funny, carefree and real human being. I will be forever grateful he chose to come to Chelsea.
Eden Hazard is something else. Sincere and honest. Real guy!
Good to see Hazard. You will always be loved by Chelsea fans all over world.
Never seen such an honest and real person!
How incredibly refreshing to hear someone who just enjoyed playing the game and didnt take it so seriously...he just seems happy and realises he was lucky to have a gift...but football doesnt define him...his family and friends do
And I have loved him for this ❤
Eden Hazard is going to be regarded as one of the GOATS to ever play in the premier league... He may not have stats but you can see his pure talent. Talent. I'm a Manchester United fan with a soft spot for Chelsea...
My idol since i was a little kid, I will always have sadness in me about never seeing him on the stadium.
Made me fall in love with the game.
Thank you Eden.
Eden Hazard, not only one of the best players in history, but one of the nicest and funniest guys ever. Thank you for this episode!
Finally someone who's just honest and frank. He had his fun in the games and enjoyed life off the pitch at the same time. That's what it's all about.
What a phenomenal episode, it’s always a joy to hear Eden!
The pod is killing it, only up from here; maybe Drogba for the next episode?! 🔥
I miss him so much, wanted to see him come back to us before he retires. Him and David Luiz made me fall in love with football in my childhood. Keep up with pods Eden ❤ wanna see more of bruda.
As a Chelsea fan i can say he's da goat🐐 da goaaaaat
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
The goooooaattttt
Hazard did what he loved, he enjoyed it while it lasted, he didn't chase money like some others going to Saudi. his time came to an end and he is living in acceptance, gotta respect the man. My all time favorite player
Arguably the greatest winger the premier league has seen, absolutely omnipotent on his day and indestructible with his dribbling
Eden Hazard thank you for gracing us with your greatness 💙
I was in tears and happiness watching this, Thank you John Obi Mikel and I Love you Eden soooooo Much 💙💙💙
To be honest, John was the best player on the pitch in Munich 2012. Absolute monstrous performance.
He had a good season in 2012!
How is John was the best in the pitch in Munich,when he didn't even play that game because of Red card he was having from the bacelona game in the semi final
@@alhajiibrahimsaeedkamara316 He played, fam. Raul Meireles, Ivanovic and Terry were suspended.
@@alhajiibrahimsaeedkamara316he meant john abi mikel, not john terry bro lol
I love Hazard’s relationship with Obi, so smooth and natural. ❤
1:13:15 Thank you Eden!! Rodrygo is quality!! Nobody seems to recognise how good he really is! That boy can do everything, watch him outperform these big names as this Madrid team grows!
Thank you for taking the time to do this interview. I really enjoyed it
The most entertaining so far. I watched from start to finish. Hazard is so funny and can have you never leave when he's chatting.
A genuine man that loved football for the right reasons, the very same reasons that sadly are missing in the attitude of today's football players.
It will take a while before Chelsea can find anyone close to this legend. Thank you Eden for entertaining us emmense.
Getting all the legends on, well done lads cant wait for this one
My absolute favorite player, by far. Fell in love with Chelsea because of Drogba but this man is simply sensational. I'd do anything for an autograph.
Anything?
I fell in love with Chelsea watching Lamps, Didier, JT, etc. but I found a new love for the club with Eden. I remember his first few games or so I was like he just a dribble merchant but the goal he scored against Sparta Prague in Europa League is when I fell in love with CFC even more. I was blessed to be able to come to Stamford Bridge and watch him in person in 17/18 szn. I was even able to watch him play when he made the move to Madrid in a friendly in my hometown in Houston. Thank you for all you done for Chelsea. We all love you 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Haven’t even started watching it but this is now my favourite podcast video. My hero ❤️
Maestro Incredible Eden HAZARD. One of the best ever. Such a priviledge to have watched him at Chelsea for those 7 years. Thank you for this episode.
One of the best interviews I want to hear ❤❤❤
Remember that solo goal against Westham injury minutes man that was amazing
Maestro Eden everyday man abracadabra
Pure Talent, this is the player that brings me the excitement of always wanting to see the next weekend.
This episode os probably going to get the highest view .
Love every bit of it, the joke, the banter and the honesty.
It was really fun to watch
First podcast ever that I watched from start to finish! Legend ❤️
Thank you very much John for these podcasts, they are amazing!
this was brilliant not a chelsea fan but i was a big hazard fan even before they signed him and his free spirit is what made him so amazing to watch
My favorite player
a true legend, my favourite player ever i adorded the way he played & now i adore his interviews thanks for making those years at chelsea so exciting eden
My favorite player since the day he joined I was 12 years old and nobody can bring a smile to my face like Eden on and off the pitch top man
Absolute great Interview!
Thank you Obi
Eden made me fall in love with the game and Chelsea, will forever love this man!!
I miss Eden so much,definitely the most talented I've seen played for us,pure magic.
COMPLETE LEGEND!!!! Very Seldom we come across celebrities with such a simplicity and candidness. TRUE LEGEND!!!!!
Eden...LEGEND! This was the best episode yet! Such a great personality. All the best in the future.
Eden!! What a legend. This guy gave us pure joy. And trophies.
That was 90minutes of comedic gold, insightful history lessons, honest self-reflection and pure banter amongst friends.
I love Hazard quoting what his father told him in his formative years. Those things really helped his view of life and his mental state. He had great parenting and that's so beautiful to discover.
Sometimes there's nothing to explain, things happens because it happens.. nice words from Eden.
Take nothing away from him, great talent
One of the funniest and enjoyable interviews ever. No filter at all!!
wow, speachless.. This is the very best podcast I have ever seen in my life. Thank you Eden for all emotions you brought to this world! Up The Chels!!
This was a great interview...loved every bit of it
Genuinely one of the best we’ve ever seen in the premier league such a joy to watch Eden hazard 🐐
His honesty is the best. All time my favorite player ever. Thank you Obi for bringing him on the podcast
Man the love I have for Eden I'll always appreciate n speak highly of him what he done for Chelsea is incredible 💙
"In life things happen", i wish a lot of people understand life this way & not go through life with the benefit of hindsight. All the happiness in the world, Eden 💙
What an incredible interview. Thank you thank you
😂 told u this is the best episode ever, my guy hilarious!! We miss u eden!!
This guy to me is the best have watched closely to play the beautiful game. He was just so phenomenal. Enjoy retirement legend!
Thks Jon 💙for letting us enjoy Eden again
What a man! What an interview! Well done, Mikel & Chris! I miss Hazard😢😢!
Thanks for hearing us up, this is truly the best podcast i have ever watched. I love this guy so much and hope we can whiteness more episodes with him. I do appreciate you both so much!
Just shows you how Abrahamovic was for Chelsea and they took that away from us!
Was all political 🤦🏿♂️
And you ended up with an American. Hmmm
@@hectorrico7267 we sure did, but not our choice. Your point ???
@@abiodundami my point is Roman was run out of the country for (alleged) ties to Putin & the Ukraine situation. Yet your new owner is American. Funny no?
As a Madrid fan, we expected so much and it’s sad to even think about the potential that went unrealized, we wouldn’t be going crazy for Mbappe now if he did what he was supposed to. But you gotta respect the guy, no filters, absolutely honest and wholesome, plays football solely for the love of it. We can’t hold everyone to the standard of Ronaldo and Messi, to get to that level, one has to make many sacrifices, often in their personal lives too. Not everyone can do that and that’s a perfectly valid choice too. One of my favorite ex-footballer interviews
This is the best honest and authentic guy I have seen… I totally enjoyed this podcast.
I love your podcast and appreciate your effort to bring these megastars to our phone screen. One love ObiOne.
EH🎉🎉 one of the best...thank you Obi❤
His Honesty is so charming; thanks for the many years of Joy you brought to us at Chelsea, Eden!
Love you guys for bringing everyone these podcasts💙💙💙
