Eden Hazard surprises students at local school leaving girl in tears

Eden Hazard surprised some of the students as he hid behind a curtain in one of the local schools. The Belgian waited for the right moment to jump out while the youngsters were reading out poems.

The winger took a trip to the school in order to talk about discrimination as part of Chelsea’s anti-Semitism campaign.

One of his personal fans, Olivia, received Hazard’s signed shirt and simply couldn’t hold back her tears:

“We were talking about diversity and equality and then Eden Hazard walked in! I was very shocked!”

Commenting on his visit, Eden said: “I’ve been here today to listen to the children read their poems about discrimination.

It was great fun and it was very good to hear them speak about that and I’m very happy to have been able to spend the time with them. Children watch a lot of football so it is important to be a good image for them.

“Around the world we do see discrimination so we try to talk about that because we need to. If we can help them to learn things about life then it’s good. It’s very important that the Chelsea Foundation do these type of things and talk with the kids about equality and discrimination. To be part of that with them today makes me happy.”
