#1 Unstoppable Eden Hazard

Football: Japan vs Belgium at World Cup
Hazard (r) - talisman

Eden Hazard has been in phenomenal form at the World Cup so far and is one of the top contenders for the Golden Ball award. Having scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists in 4 games, Hazard will look to run a riot at the Brazilian defense and dominate the proceedings in favor of Belgium in Friday's Quarter-final encounter.

The inexperienced Brazilian right-back Fagner will have the tremendous task of keeping the world-class dribbler and speedster Eden Hazard at bay.

It is highly unlikely that Fagner will succeed in this tough task alone and hence will require the services of Willian to come to his aid on Friday.

Being the X-factor for Belgium at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Hazard will have to bring his A-game on Friday in order to provide a decent chance for Belgium to beat the formidable heavyweights Brazil.
