Henry worked closely with Hazard while serving as assistant coach of Belgium and saw firsthand how effortlessly the winger could change games.

“Eden is Eden. He is in a class of his own,” Henry told L'Avenir.

 "But Kevin De Bruyne... He is different. He sees things differently. I often found myself in him. Because he has a way of seeing things, of seeing life, of speaking, of understanding certain stuff."
