Eden Hazard bids Lille farewell

Eden Hazard: Getting emotional about his final two games at Lille
Hazard's future has been the subject of speculation for some time and he has been linked with several of the leading clubs in England, including Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.Premier League target Eden Hazard has taken to Twitter to announce that he has two games remaining in Lille colours.
There have also been reports of a bidding war between Manchester United and Manchester City and Hazard refused to confirm which club he would rather join earlier this week when he said he could wear red or blue.
But it does seem certain that the playmaker's time at Lille will come to an end when the season finishes, after he confirmed his exit plans.
"Two games more to play in the colours of LOSC [Lille] ...Sniff," the 21-year-old tweeted.
Hazard joined Lille from Belgian side AFC Tubize in July 2006 and made his professional debut under coach Claude Puel at the age of just 16 in November 2007.
Lille have already secured a place in next season's Champions League but must win their penultimate match at league leaders Montpellier on Sunday to stand any chance of retaining their Ligue 1 crown.
Destiny
Hazard has been named Ligue 1's Player of the Season by L'Equipe after scoring 17 goals and contributing 15 assists in the league.
Lille boss Rudi Garcia believes the Belgium international has gone from strength to strength this season and still has room for further improvement.
"He should be part of the best players on earth, it is his destiny," Garcia said in L'Equipe.
"He has learnt football is not always played with ball. On a tactical level, he has hugely improved.
"He has moved better and his team-mates can find him more often. During the last few weeks, we also changed the system and he is at the heart of the game."

Terry won't quit England team

John Terry: Happy to play alongside anyone for England
The Chelsea defender was stripped of the England captaincy as he awaits a court appearance over charges, denied by the 31-year-old, that he used racist language towards Anton Ferdinand.John Terry has rubbished rumours he could call time on his international career, saying: "I will never turn my back on England."
That led to suggestions he might call it a day for his country, but in an interview with The Sun he made it clear he would make himself available for new manager Roy Hodgson.
Terry said: "I'm not going to throw away my international career for anyone, I am proud to represent my country, I will never turn my back on England."
He added: "I never considered quitting. I was deeply disappointed by the FA's decision to strip me of the captaincy as it meant the world to me. But sometimes you just have to accept these things and move on."
"I'm not going to throw away my international career for anyone, I am proud to represent my country, I will never turn my back on England."

Terry also made it clear he would have no problem playing with Ferdinand's brother Rio.
"I don't have an issue playing with anyone and never have done," he said.
"I don't pick and choose who plays for England and if I'm selected to play it won't become an issue either."
Fabio Capello's support for Terry over the incident ultimately led to his departure as England boss back in February.
"I was extremely disappointed the manager decided to quit," Terry said. "From day one he stood by me and said he knew the English law and the English way and you are innocent until proven guilty and I respected him for that."
Hodgson was this week named England boss ahead of apparent fan favourite Harry Redknapp, the Tottenham manager.
"I always thought Roy Hodgson was a genuine candidate and I was surprised no one really mentioned him," Terry said.
"Clearly all the hype was for Harry Redknapp but the FA have taken their time to appoint the right man to lead us to success and I think this is a great appointment."

Brazilian football legend, Roberto Carlos, has shared plans for his farewell match, in which his current side Anzhi Makhachkala will face Spanish giants, Real Madrid.
“I imagine how such a game may look,” Roberto Carlos told Sport-Express newspaper. “I'm going to talk this through with [Anzhi owner] Suleyman Kerimov. There are some ideas. But I’m sure it’ll be Anzhi and Real.”
According to the 39-year-old, there’s also a possibility the clubs will play two matches – one in Makhachkala and the other in the Spanish capital.
“We’ll try to hold the farewell game this year,” he added. “If not – then a year later.”
Roberto Carlos became a worldwide star while playing for Real Madrid, with whom he spent 11 seasons and won the UEFA Champions League three times.
He joined Anzhi in 2011, scoring five goals in 50 appearances for the club where he was soon made captain.
This March the 2002 FIFA World Cup winner played his last competitive football match and turned to coaching as he’s now helping manager, Guus Hiddink.
