Eden Hazard has had a season to forget. Though he showed some sparks of his brilliance towards the end of the season, notably against Liverpool with that brilliant solo goal, Hazard has yet to live up to his expectations on the international stage.
The Euros is sort of a Litmus Test for Hazard who will try to impress his new boss Antonio Conte at Chelsea and finally show up for the Red Devils.
Eden Hazard had a decent first match against Italy. Though he started slow, he came to life in the second half- going past defenders and winning free kicks. But the equaliser eluded him which saw Belgium finish on the losing side.
The Belgium captain is, however, the key to the Red Devils’ fortunes on Saturday. He can change the game in a moment of brilliance and his job will be to do what he does best- to go past defenders and find a man waiting for the pass or shoot himself.
If he manages to keep the attack-minded Seamus Coleman busy enough on the left flank, the Ireland defender is sure to make a mistake for Hazard to pounce upon.
More importantly, Belgium have to gel as a team if they want to go far in this competition and Hazard could well be the glue that ties them together.
