A video documenting the activity of players from both Manchester City and Chelsea in the tunnel leading to the Etihad Stadium has now been uploaded to the official Manchester City channel on YouTube. The “joking” that takes place between Yaya Toure and Eden Hazard is easily the most memorable moment contained within this clip.
A heavy smack was delivered to the back of the Chelsea midfielder’s head as he was walking onto the field, which caused him to become startled. Hazard didn’t waste any time and turned around right away to find out who had done it. The moment he saw Yaya Toure beaming at him with a smile, his initial rage dissipated almost instantly. But the joke didn’t end there; the player for Ivory Coast continued to make fun attacks on the player for the other team.
When players from both sides stepped out onto the field after the break, Yaya Toure made a point of making Hazard feel uncomfortable on purpose.
The Chelsea midfielder was quite surprised when he was attacked by the Man City star
Hazard quickly realized the Ivory Coast midfielder’s joke.
In contrast to the tension on the field, players from both teams were quite comfortable in the tunnel.
After being discovered, Yaya Toure continued to playfully joke with Hazard.
The Belgian midfielder made an effort to dodge the “love slaps” that were being delivered by his opponent.
Toure gave an interview to Declan Rice in which he discussed the incident in which he slapped an ex-star of Chelsea as the two teams were leaving the field for the second half of the game. According to Sports Bible, he stated:
“During this game, he was picking up the ball and no one was able to grab him! You should know, he has a completely different rear end, and it’s enormous!
“…I was once trying to explain it to a certain journalist, and he couldn’t stop laughing at me! I asked you why you were laughing, and you said. Wherever you set your feet, he will position his feet in the turn in the same way!
Eden Hazard, who is 32 years old, made the announcement of his retirement only recently.
On October 10, Hazard sent a message to Instagram in which he said, “You have to listen to yourself and know when to stop.”
I played football professionally for 16 years and participated in over 700 matches before deciding to call it quits. My goal of competing and having a good time on a variety of fields all across the world has been accomplished.
During his time at Chelsea, Hazard was a dominant force in England’s top league, helping the team clinch two Premier League victories. In addition, he won two titles in the Europa League, one in the FA Cup, and one in the League Cup while playing for the Blues.
Even though he didn’t play much after moving to Real, Hazard was still able to win two La Liga titles, one King’s Cup title, and one Champions League title.
