France defender Lucas: Hazard will suffer just like Messi!

Atletico Madrid defender Lucas Hernandez says France can handle Belgium ace Eden Hazard in their World Cup semifinal.

Lucas insists after their job on Barcelona star Leo Messi and Argentina, France can do the same to Chelsea midfielder Hazard.

He declared: "We'll have to be focused.

"We have already eliminated the best player in the world in 8th against Argentina. He did not touch the ball. It's the truth.

"Against Belgium, we also have the players to make sure that he (Hazard) touches the ball the fewest possible times."
