MOSCOW (Reuters) - It may have needed a half-time rocket from captain Eden Hazard to jolt Romelu Lukaku into action in Belgium's World Cup opener but coach Roberto Martinez believes the striker has the hunger to fulfil his ambition of global domination.

The Chelsea playmaker gave Lukaku a piece of his mind in Sochi on Monday after Belgium had huffed and puffed but failed to blow Panama's modest defensive fortress down before the interval.
