Part 3:World Cup in Russia gives glimpse into next generation of Balons D'Or hopefuls

Belgium magic man Hazard will look to inspire his nation's best generation to the world title

Born into a footballing family Eden Hazard has risen within the football structures from grassroots level all the way to the senior squad as the best player in the golden generation of Belgian football.

Fleet footed, tricky and with an ability to either score or create goals Hazard had the look of a player who could rival the powers of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. However, as brilliant as he can be on his day, a hallmark of Hazard's career so far has been the fact that when he's done well during one season he experiences a dip in form such as been the case over the two last seasons.

Hazard played a starring role in Antonio Conte's first season as Chelsea cantered towards the league title, but last season didn't perform consistently last season.

Nonetheless, Hazard has been one the brightest talents of the current era of football, and if he can put his inconsistencies aside we could very well see him in the near future crowned the world's best.

The chances of living up to that could be made more likely with a summer move to Real Madrid being rumoured in the media, but for now the Belgian ace can make a statement by helping his star studded Belgian team to the world cup, and what better way would there be to stake a claim for a Balon D'Or in the future than to outshine the player everyone expects to be world's best when Belgium face Brazil in the World Cup quarterfinals.
