Russia 2018: Belgium here to win ―Hazard

There may never be another Belgian World Cup team this loaded with star power — or lacking in confidence — with team captain Eden Hazard capturing both qualities going into Russia 2018.

“We’ll go there to try to win the World Cup,” the 27-year-old Chelsea midfielder boldly told CNN Sport in an exclusive interview. “To go and give 100%, that’s what we have to do.

“In football you never know, but I feel that we have a good team, good players,” added the 2015 PFA Player of the Year. “We have experience now on the team.

“A lot of players they are playing in England, so we (have known) each other (for) four or five years.”

The team beat Egypt 3-0 last week, with goals from Lukaku, Eden Hazard and Fellaini, and drew 0-0 with a strong Portuguese side on June 2.
