Belgium will likely need Eden Hazard to realize his potential in order to advance deep into the World Cup knockout stage.

"Eden wants to do more, he can bring us more," said Marc Wilmots.

"Everyone knows that. So now I'm just waiting to see it and I'm not trying to put any pressure on him. I would like him to be a leader on the pitch even if he is just 23."

Belgium has won its three matches by margins of just one goal.

"He can dictate the game, find the overlaps and score goals," Wilmots added.

"That's what he told me when we talked about it. But between saying and doing there is always a gap. And there is the opponent: will he leave you enough space?

"He was very dangerous against Algeria. I'm counting on him - and so is Belgium - but I think it's all together that we will find the solution."
