In a program granted to RMC Sport, Eden Hazard confided in the work of muscle strengthening.
When shown footage of Cristiano Ronaldo performing a series of pull-ups, the Chelsea playmaker replies “Don't need it”.
Preferring the pleasure of the field where he can express his natural talent with the ball, the Brainois continues by explaining “Have never done that and it’s not at 28 that I’m going to start doing it”. However, he does not deny the amount of work carried out by the Portuguese.
“Ronaldo is there because he did that, he has that merit but I never attached much importance to that and I don’t take pleasure in doing that. I prefer to be on the field with my friends”.
The only exception: when he was passing through the Lille training center, but he already had his idea in mind. “I said, ‘When I’m a professional, I’m never going to do that because if I do, I won’t feel good on the pitch’”.
And to conclude on the little games he makes with the ball… at the gym. “There is always a way to find something” admits the captain of the Red Devils with an amused air.
