One Chelsea icon set to retire as another Blues legend plays different sport
One Chelsea icon is apparently set to hang up his boots in retirement. Meanwhile another Blues legend has switched teams in his new sport, ice hockey. The Pride of London talk Eden Hazard and Petr Cech.
While Hazard remains widely adored by the CFC fan base, the feeling is not the same in Spain. Specifically with respect to Real Madrid fans. It has even been suggested in football media that the 32-year-old is now the worst ever los Blancos signing when taking into account promise, efforts, cost and the eventual meagre output. Well, the dazzling winger may perhaps be one of Real’s most regrettable acquisitions – the approximate £400,000 weekly wages didn’t help but fuel the flames – but he was one of Chelsea’s best ever captures.
Four hard, forgettable campaigns have gone by in the Spanish capital for the formerly illustrious athlete. Yet with the Blues, Hazard received a Footballer of the Year award, along with Player of the Year awards. He also managed to attain two Premier League titles, the Europa League, an FA Cup and a League Cup. However, his career might come to an end this summer, it is claimed. Following termination of the Belgian international’s contract at Santiago Bernabeu one year early, Mundo Deportivo, via The Sun, report that the forward wishes to stay in Madrid to live with his family. This has subsequently ‘prompted him to consider retiring’ so that his loved ones can stay settled. The article uses the term ‘set to’ retire.

Chelsea hero Petr Cech is a goalie, in another sport
Let’s speak about a separate west London idol now. Cech is a similarly decorated ex-Chelsea man, actually more so. And he is still going. Although, he is presently playing hockey with Oxford City Stars as their goaltender. This is the third time he has moved outfits since 2019 after quitting football.
