Chapter 886 The Story of Hazard and His Family
In the east of Mons, a famous tourist city in southern Belgium, there is a small city called La Louvier.

Unlike Mons, a well-connected transportation hub, La Louviere is just an inconspicuous small city, even on the map, it is an insignificant existence.

There is a football field and a training center in La Louviere, which are the common memories of countless young people in this small city.

They have all played and trained here.

So far, the most famous story about this football stadium and training center in this small city is the Hazard family.

Both father Thierry and mother Karin were professional football players, which is very rare in such a small city, so Thierry is also the youth training coach of this country team, and his wife Karin is his assistant.

They have four children, the eldest is Eden, who is now playing in Lille in Ligue [-], the second is Thorgen, who also plays in the youth training camp of the French team, and the third is Kylian, who is also a player in the Belgian youth team's training team.

In [-], their family had an extra youngest, Etang, who was trained by his parents in this small team in his hometown.

The first three kids played very well, and they were “children from other people’s family” in the eyes of residents in small cities. But this also made Thierry, a coach, very sensitive. He was always worried that others would say that he was partial to his own children, so he was always very strict in training, especially with his own children.

Sometimes, it is so strict that others can't stand it anymore, after all, Etang is only eight years old.

Every time Karin came forward to ease the atmosphere and give her husband a step down.

The couple has a good face and a bad face. They have cooperated with each other for many years and have raised their fourth child.

It is only across the road from the training ground, and opposite is a row of three-story apartments facing the street.

The Azar family lives here.

Thierry often said that the reason why he stayed here as a coach was to be close to home. Otherwise, as early as when the boss Eden was valued by the northern Tibez youth training camp, he could go directly to Tibez.

But the benefits of coaching in a hometown team are also very obvious.

On the one hand, it is close to home. On the other hand, it is only [-] kilometers away from Lille, where the boss Eden plays.

Now, the biggest wish of the couple is to train the youngest into a professional player.

In addition to training players, Thierry and Karin turned their heads from time to time and looked at their home across the road.

At this moment, in the living room on the second floor, the eldest brother Eden, who had just returned home from Lille, was standing in front of the window of the living room, overlooking the training ground, watching his parents train his younger brother and his peers, and he couldn't help but think back to the time when he was training in this stadium.

At that time, he never thought that there would be today.

Who could have imagined that?

……

Night falls.

After a day of training, the children dispersed, or their parents picked them up, or went home on their own.

A small city has the advantages of a small city. Everyone knows each other and takes care of each other, so children don't have to worry about getting lost.

Although they are coaches, Thierry and Karin are also sweating profusely like the youngest Etan.

Thierry took Etan's hand and went home to take a shower first, while Karin went to the nearby farmers' market.

The boss came back, and she was going to give him a whole meal of his favorite dish.

Speaking of the eldest in the family, he is really good at everything, he is gentle, humble, and treats his younger brother with love. In France, no matter who he is facing, he always praises his younger brother and belittles himself, so that many people who don't know the inside story think that the younger brother is more talented than the eldest.

But in fact, the boss is the most talented player in the family.

But the second child is the hardest working one in the family.

The boss is greedy and not self-disciplined. This is a big problem for him, so that every time he goes home, Thierry has to nag for a long time, for fear that he will gain weight if he is not careful. If he gets fat, his speed and explosive power will be affected, which will lead to the inability to complete many technical movements, which will greatly reduce his performance on the court.

But the boss doesn't seem to care much about it.

Talented people are often so willful!
They were all brought up by themselves. Karin understands each of them's character and temper, and loves every child in general.

……

After Karin finished shopping for groceries and returned home, she was busy again.

From time to time, his father Thierry would urge Ethan to take a bath.

This kid pestered his elder brother as soon as he got home. He was obviously a teenager, so how could he have such a good relationship?
"Don't take a bath again, I'm angry!" Thierry had to shout with a straight face.

Etang quickly ran to take a bath.

The eldest, Eden, glanced at his old father, curled his lips, as if to say, after all these years, he still did this trick.

From home to now, the boss has been slumped on the sofa watching TV, and his buttocks have never moved out of the nest. This made Thierry feel a little bit unbearable. He wanted to say a few words to him several times, but finally held back.

He just won the Ligue [-] championship and the best player of the season in Ligue [-]. He is probably tired, so bear with him!
Besides, you are already 20 years old, how can you train like eight-year-old Etang?
It didn't take long for Karin to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

The family ate together in the restaurant, and couldn't help but think of their second and third children who were still in France.

"Thorgen and Killian don't know when they will be back?" Karin missed her children a little.

In fact, it is very close, only [-] kilometers, and it takes more than an hour to drive there.

But sometimes it is like this, no matter how close they are, they are still separated.

"It should be the past few days. They still have a game, and they disbanded after the game." Thierry replied.

"How is the third child's recent studies?" Eden asked suddenly.

La Louvier is very close to France, so the people here can basically speak French, and Lille is also the closest city in France to Belgium. There is no problem in communicating with the Belgians in La Louvier, including school education.

"Being able to maintain the passing line, the ball has grown a lot." Thierry smiled gratifiedly.

The most satisfying thing in his life is that he has raised three children, and it seems that he has no problem playing professional players.

If possible, he hoped that the youngest could also follow this path.

No way, the Azar family just doesn't have the gene for reading.

Of course, whether it is France or Belgium, youth team players must pass their studies in addition to playing football.

"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Karin asked with concern.

"I don't know, I'm waiting for news from John."

John Beek, the agent of Hazard's three brothers, Eden's transfer to Lille, and his two brothers playing in France are all about John Beek.

Speaking of this, Thierry and Karin looked at each other, both showing worried expressions.

Although it is in a small city, the information is well developed, the TV and the Internet are connected to the outside world, and a lot of news can be spread in.

Everyone knows that after the end of the season, several teams in the Premier League, as well as Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, are all vying for Hazard.

The most important thing is that Manchester City made an offer first, and several other teams followed suit. Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern and Juventus and other giants also followed suit, and they were almost crazy for a while.

Now there are rumors everywhere outside, to see which team will Eden Hazard choose?
The Ligue [-] champion Lille is desperately trying to refute the rumors, saying that the team will do everything possible to keep Hazard, and intends to renew the contract with Hazard, trying to keep him in the team and play well in the UEFA Champions League in the new season.

But everyone knows that this rumor is actually false.

For a team like Lille, there is no better deal than selling players at high prices. The reason why they refute the rumors is to sell at a better price.

Eden returned to La Louviere from Lille. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid the disturbance from the outside world. On the other hand, he also let his agent handle these matters. He concentrated on hiding behind and waiting for news.

Thierry and Karin also know the situation that the boss is facing now. They are both professional players, so they both know how important transfer is to a professional player. How many professional players have changed their entire career because of the transfer?

With a well-planned career and a good transfer operation, it is easy to go up to a higher level. On the contrary, it may fall at any time.

Especially for a 20-year-old player like Eden.

"Boss, what do you think?" Thierry asked with concern.

Eden thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't have a very clear idea."

His character has always been like this, he doesn't have too much ambition, and feels a little happy with the situation.

The advantage of this kind of personality is that it will not fight with others, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is not aggressive and lazy.

To use what Thierry and Karin said helplessly behind their backs, wasting that talent for nothing.

But what can be done about things like character?

"Then from a big perspective, which league do you prefer, Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga or Premier League?"

Eden shook his head again, "I never thought about it. If I had to choose, I hope it will be closer to home."

Thierry and Karin's expressions became complicated, they didn't know whether to laugh or get angry.

It's a good thing for children to love family, but it's not so good if they are already 20 years old and still love home?

If you want to be closer to home, there are the Premier League and the Bundesliga.

The Premier League and Belgium are separated by the English Channel, which is really close. The Bundesliga is a little farther away, but it is also convenient.

As for La Liga and Serie A, they are too far apart, whether it is the climate or anything else, there is a big difference.

"Actually, your characteristics are quite suitable for La Liga." Karin said.

Eden is a technical player with excellent dribbling and ball-handling abilities and strong breakthrough ability, but his physical confrontation is relatively poor and he is not tall. Such a player is more suitable for La Liga.

Of course, when it comes to La Liga, there are also differences. For example, Real Madrid and Barcelona are two obviously different teams.

Even Barcelona under the coaching of Mourinho still has the gene of passing and controlling the ball in their bones, and they still follow the technical flow, but Real Madrid pays more attention to physical fitness, speed and strength.

The difference between the two teams can be seen from the core players, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
