Sports retirement does not rhyme with media peace for Eden Hazard, who is still making headlines in Belgium. This time, it was in the shoes of an “ultra” that his name appeared in the press.
At the beginning of December, Eden Hazard caused a sensation by interfering in the KOP of supporters of the Royale Union Tubize-Braine, an amateur club managed in part by his father, Thierry. Alongside Thorgan Hazard, he came to encourage Ethan and Kylian, their brothers. If the first remained on the bench, the second entered the game a quarter of an hour from the end to participate in the success of Brabançons (1-3) over RUS Binche. This victory allows them to remain four points behind the leader, Mons, in Division 1 ACFF.
“Two special supporters were present last night, during our match against RUS Binche. Eden Hazard and Thorgan Hazard witnessed the victory of our colors »wrote RUTB on Instagram at the final whistle, teasing the cadet’s performance on the drum,
“Thorgan, fortunately you have more of a sense of rhythm on the pitch. Thank you for the support brothers. »
These pitchside appearances by stars are starting to become a habit in Belgium. Last November, Romelu Lukaku appeared to watch his son play with the Anderlecht U8s in Sint-Truiden.
From an animal park to a limited edition balloon
Across the border, in Belgium, everything is good to make the headlines when the name of Eden Hazard rings out. Just a few days ago, he was considered a distinguished guest at Pairi Daiza, a zoological and botanical park located in Brugelette, considered one of the most beautiful on the continent. The Belgian, with his family, posed with a sign on social networks. A few days later, he appeared all smiles on social networks, announcing the release of a collector’s ball designed in collaboration with Clublegacyz, a company which is used to releasing unique limited edition objects bearing the image of athletes and of clubs. This is a ball that represents certain important moments in the Belgian’s career. It was sold in 1000 copies.
A little earlier, he made headlines despite himself with the Belgian post-punk group Marcel, from Arlon. The latter returns to the forefront with a single called Spirit of Eden Hazard Kicking Ball-Boy which revisits a famous episode in the career of the former Mastiff: when he attacked a reluctant ball boy in Swansea and that he received a red card. Eleven years later, Eden Hazard probably didn’t imagine becoming the muse of a post-punk band.
