Eden Hazard jokes he is a taxi driver after retiring

The former Chelsea star spoke to the Guardian from a vineyard in Lecce, Italy, nearly three years after leaving the pitch. Now aged 35, the father of five described his current daily routine as simple, joking that he acts mostly as a driver for his family. He insisted he feels at peace with retirement and hopes fans recall him as a decent player who enjoyed himself.
