Chelsea ace Eden Hazard has hailed the impact of Thierry Henry on Belgium's World Cup run.

The Arsenal legend is No2 to Belgium coach Roberto Martinez and will be in the dugout for their semifinal against France.

And Hazard says: "He is on our side, we are lucky for that, a little less the team of France since he brings his experience. He knows how to win matches, especially in big tournaments. We are very happy to have him on our side. He speaks to us, we can talk about football as we can talk about other things with Thierry.

"We all get along very well with him and he has a little this relationship between the coach and the players, since I think that when he sees the matches, he wants to play (laughs), but on the other hand he feels a little older.

"The 23 players, we are all very happy that he is there."
