Belgium coach Wilmots: Chelsea star Hazard paragon of control

Belgium coach Marc Wilmots insists he has no discipline concerns over Chelsea winger Eden Hazard.

Wilmots was asked about Hazard's clash with a Swansea City ball-boy a fortnight ago.

"I have seen the incident," said Wilmots. "Eden Hazard did nothing wrong. They need to ban that ball boy for three to four years. He should get a heavy suspension, not Eden.

"That guy just went to lie on the ball. A shame. Eden wanted the ball as quickly as possible to continue playing. I think he is a paragon of control," said Wilmots. "During the match he gets one kick after another and he always dominated. He has never had a red card. No. Eden did nothing wrong but there is a big media show for it."
