Remy: I joined Chelsea training and Hazard said 'I'm the boss'

Former Chelsea striker Loic Remy has revealed a memory of Eden Hazard that stuck with him.

The Belgian attacker announced his retirement from the sport at the age of 36, despite having offers to play around the world.

Remy, who is now 26, admitted that he knew about Hazard before he signed for Chelsea in 2014.

Speaking to GOAL back in 2020, Remy said: I knew Eden before I signed for Chelsea.

I used to play against him when I was at Marseille and Nice, and he was at Lille.

So, in my first session at Chelsea, he arrived on to the training pitch with his laces undone and welcomed me. I asked him: 'Are you really going to train like this?' He said: 'Yes, no problem'.

I felt like going into a Chelsea training session that the intensity would be very high because it is such a big club and I put pressure on myself to perform at 100 per cent.

So, when I looked at Eden... He didn't defend well in the session either, he gave away the ball and, at the end of training, I asked: 'You train like this?' He was like: 'Don't worry, I am the boss'. But not in an arrogant way, as he can be casual when he speaks."
