Yeah, it is forcing Belgium to surpass KDB. Very clever but still risky as Lukaku is the perfect target for long balls... to head, feet and in behind.

Perhaps go on the outside too, stretch them a little and allow more room to Hazard to operate in the half space. Bit too crowded the Belgium attack for me.
