'Hazzard was the worst':Belgium Coach

Eden Hazard may have scored a late winner against
Cyprus to move Belgium closer to Euro 2016, but
coach Marc Wilmots still laid into the Chelsea star
and his team for their limp efforts.
He also singled out Liverpool striker Christian
Benteke for criticism, although he was relieved with
a Group B result that steered his team to the brink of
qualification for next year's finals in France.
Belgium boss Marc Wilmots had some strong words
for Eden Hazard and Christian Benteke
Wilmots said: "Hazard was the worst. I thought about
substituting him, but in the last 10 minutes he always
has the ability to do that. At the World Cup, this was
the case. I obviously expect more from him, but he
will grow as the season progresses.
"We won two games in a row but this is the poorest
team performance I have seen and we will try to
rectify the issue."

Asked why Benteke was substituted at half-time, the
Belgium coach said the striker had put in a "half-
performance" and he needed to make a change as
soon as possible.

Wilmots felt his team had created the better chances
despite the poor performance and he did find some
positive words for Benteke's Liverpool team-mate
Divock Origi who came on to replace the former
Aston Villa man.
"Both sides missed chances. But we believed until
the end that we would score and managed to got the
result we needed," he added.
New Man City signing Kevin De Bruyne shone in
Belgium's win
'The contribution of Origi and (Dries) Mertens in the
second half was important, because I wanted quick
combinations. As a result, in the last half hour we
were often dangerous."
