Chelsea ace Hazard: I'm in my tournament best form

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard admits there's great belief amongst Belgium's players over their World Cup hopes.

Hazard feels in a good place in terms of his own development despite what appeared to be a difficult season at club level.

"I am a lot stronger than two years ago - or four years ago in Brazil, definitely," he said. "I have a lot more experience. Four years ago it was our first major competition, all of us together. France was our second one - and knockout matches have a lot to do with experience.

"When you have a younger team, it is more complicated even if you have good players. Now I think most of us are between 25 and 30, so we have the same level of maturity and I think this will make the difference."
