Chelsea star Eden Hazard’s former club mate has revealed that the Chelsea playmaker began his professional career by getting beaten up by senior players.

Eden Hazard is said to have been beaten up by his own teammates when he displayed poor attitude in training at Lille

“Hazard upset his own teammates with some of his antics when he burst onto the scene at Lille”

Ex-Lille defender Gregory Tafforeau, 40, recalled: “Hazard turned up for his first Lille training session with his socks rolled down, his laces undone and without shinpads.

“As for his standard, he trained as though he was a club veteran. That annoyed the senior players.

“Soon afterwards I could hear voices being raised in the fitness room, and I heard a loud whack.

“I went in and saw Eden holding his cheek. Franck Beria, one of our star players, was there and his eyes were bloodshot with rage.

“It turned out Eden had bumped into Franck in the city centre, and taken the mickey out of him in front of everyone.
