Chelsea ace Eden Hazard shocked by Belgium boos

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard was stunned by the jeers from Belgian home fans at the end of their friendly defeat to Spain.

It marked a losing debut for new Belgium coach Roberto Martinez.

On the jeers, Hazard remarked: "It was indeed a long time ago that something like this has happened.

"We are entering a new era, so it's a bit sad that it must begin like this. We had expected greater support, even though we did not play a good match. People should not forget how we all have performed in the past.

"It's not been very nice, so I hope they do support us massively in the next home game. It's a shame because we'd hoped to play a good game today, but that did not happen."
