A Casual Coffee Chat with N’Golo Kante and Eden Hazard
Eden Hazard: Hey, N’Golo! Great to see you, my friend. How are things going? Are you still running marathons on the pitch every week?
N’Golo Kante: (chuckles) Hey, Eden! I’m good, thank you. You know me, I just love running. It’s like my second nature. But what about you? How’s everything in Madrid?
Eden Hazard: Ah, you know, it’s been quite a ride. Different weather, different pace, but I’m getting used to it. It’s a bit more laid-back compared to London, but I miss our time together at Chelsea.
N’Golo Kante: Yeah, those were good times. The teamwork, the laughs, the victories… We had quite an amazing squad, didn’t we?
Eden Hazard: Absolutely! It’s not just about skill, it’s about chemistry. Speaking of chemistry, do you still drive that little Mini Cooper? It’s such a Kante move! (laughs)
N’Golo Kante: (laughs) Yes, I do! I haven’t changed much. It’s a simple car and it’s all I need. Plus, it keeps me grounded. No need for flashy cars, right?
Eden Hazard: I love that about you. Always humble. So, tell me, any new hobbies? I heard you’ve been trying your hand at cooking lately.
N’Golo Kante: Oh yes, I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen. Nothing too fancy, but I enjoy making traditional French dishes. It’s quite relaxing and a nice break from football.
Eden Hazard: That’s awesome! Maybe you can cook for me sometime. I promise not to judge… much. (winks)
N’Golo Kante: (laughs) Deal! How about you? Any new interests?
Eden Hazard: I’ve taken up a bit of photography. It’s fascinating to capture moments, you know. Football is all about action, but photography lets you freeze time.
N’Golo Kante: That’s amazing, Eden. It’s important to have passions outside of football. Keeps life balanced.
Eden Hazard: Exactly. And who knows, maybe one day I’ll photograph you in your element—mid-tackle, stealing the ball like a true ninja.
N’Golo Kante: (laughs) I’d like that. Football moments captured by Hazard—the perfect photo album!
Eden Hazard: (smiles) Well, here’s to more memories, both on and off the pitch. Cheers, N’Golo.
N’Golo Kante: Cheers, Eden. Always great catching up with you.
*As they finish their coffee, both leave with smiles, knowing their friendship goes beyond the boundaries of any football pitch.*
