Chelsea’s Got Quality To Climb Back Up – Courtois
Guus Hiddink has insisted that the Chelsea players need to work extra hard to get the fans back on their side as soon as possible.
Chelsea’s interim manager revealed he told his Blues squad to “look in the mirror” on Tuesday, as he plots the Stamford Bridge club’s path forward from Jose Mourinho’s sacking.
Manchester United, on the other hand, are now 5th on the Premier league table but their unconvincing display that is devoid of offensive play has being a major point of discussion all season, but their disqualification from the UEFA Champions league as well lost to Norwich at home have further fueled the possibility of Louis Van Gaal getting sacked.
Guus Hiddink will expect to have a full squad of players to pick from come Boxing Day, and he will surely look to play a full strength team against newly-promoted Watford.
“But anyhow I’m glad to be back”.
Mourinho remains an immensely popular figure amongst the Stamford Bridge faithful and is the most successful manager in the club’s history.
With Hiddink himself having enjoyed a career whereby he hasn’t settled with one team for too long before moving on, somebody fresh will be coming in next summer you imagine and we all know that Pep Guardiola’s whereabouts are still unknown at present. With him it’s the same to get the eagerness back to perform.
“I shouldn’t be here halfway through the season because it means that things are not going well”, the Dutchman said. I can’t say I’m here and it’s problem solved.
It is rare that a player in good health with a signed contract and a guaranteed starting job would give up playing, even if Drogba’s heart bleeds Chelsea blue.
Their appalling title defence led to Mourinho’s departure and Hiddink, who led Chelsea to FA Cup success during an interim spell in 2009, believes the players should be analysing where it has gone wrong.
The new Chelsea boss also described the current landscape of the league as “refreshing”, praising the starts made by Leicester City, Crystal Palace and Watford. They were able to win because we had so many poor moments.
He said: “What we said was “let’s go to May”. I must first observe and analyse and then we will decide.
