The Belgium coach says he told the Chelsea star "to have fun on the pitch" ahead of their last 16 clash and felt it was "almost impossible" to get the ball off him against Hungary

Wilmots handed Hazard the armband when Vincent Kompany was struck down by injury prior to Euro 2016 and must have felt vindicated as the Chelsea man turned in a wonderful display in Toulouse, creating one and scoring another as Belgium set up a quarter-final clash with Wales on Friday.
