Hazard: “I quit professional football because I no longer like everything around the sport. I like those 90 minutes I play on the court, but I don’t like everything else: travel, endless training, media. Nowadays, coaches work more than players and always face the computer with their assistants. I don't like that. I am 34 years old now, not like the 42 years old that some people think. If I wanted to be a coach at 50, I still have time. Now I can see a lot, accompany my children and slow down. ”
