Chelsea star Hazard: I need a break before World Cup

Eden Hazard has said he would enjoy a break on the beach before helping Belgium attempt to win the World Cup next month.

The Chelsea winger capped off the season with a match-winning penalty in Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester United.

"We will go somewhere where I can get a tan, but we do not know where. We'll see. Thereafter we prepare for the World Cup. You can sunbathe in London but it is not the same sun as Copacabana," Hazard said at Wembley Stadium.

"July 15 is the final? Let's make sure we get there first (laughs). The season was not good, but we close our season with a trophy. It feels good. We deserve it. We worked hard for this. We party, but after that I'm going to rest properly to prepare for the World Cup."
