Arsenal legend Thierry Henry admits Eden Hazard has been his favourite player of modern times.
The former Real Madrid and Chelsea star announced his retirement yesterday.
New France 21 coach Henry told L'Equipe: " My favourite player in recent years is Eden Hazard. He's been... Wow! But he is an instinctive player! The only thing you have to do is give him guidelines about the areas in which he will receive the ball and be able to express himself.
"In the structure, he does what he wants. How many times have I sat on the bench and said to myself: 'What the hell is he doing? Oh bravo!'
"Even I have scored goals in which I have heard my coach yell at me: 'Don't shoot! (Laughs)'. So you give instructions, but you can't control instinct."
