Filipe Luis and his story about Eden Hazard playing Mario Kart pre-match Real Madrid Belgian is always on his mobile

Once team-mates at Chelsea, Filipe Luis has looked back on Eden Hazard's dressing room habits at Stamford Bridge including one rather unexpected pre-match routine.

The former Atletico Madrid defender remembers how the Real Madrid ace would play video games in the build-up to matches, even once at the stadium.

"Eden played Mario Kart in the dressing room, the fitness coach would say '10 minutes and we're going out to warm-up' and he wouldn't be dressed and would keep playing," he recalled in an interview with YouTube channel 2AngryMen TV.

What surprised the left-back even more was the response of the Belgian.

"Don't worry, you give me the ball and there won't be a problem," is what Filipe Luis recalls him saying.

However, it's an approach which the Brazilian struggles to understand, as he explains his own point of view on technology.

"For me, concentration is the most important, being on your phone on Facebook, Instagram, a lot takes that away from you, especially if you spend five hours a day on it," he said.

Now at Flamengo, 34-year-old Filipe Luis spent just one season with Hazard at Chelsea, making 26 appearances in all competitions before returning to Atletico Madrid.
