Chelsea players must look in the mirror: Hiddink

After spending a few years in football’s hinterlands, José Mourinho brought him back for a second spell for the 2014-15 season.

A centre back is also on the list and Chelsea will go for John Stones again, and well as Marquinhos of PSG.

“Chelsea playing with freedom and desire now Jose Mourinho is gone is a poor reflection on some of their players, so this one will be a tight match”.

The only stellar signing Chelsea managed was Pedro from Barcelona at £32m, and there was the highly dubious signing of Radamel Falcao who was anonymous in his year on loan at Man Utd.

“That means all the teams can kill each other”.

Expectations are low in the Premier League so Chelsea fans would welcome the injection of youth and enthusiasm into the first team squad.

“If you look back a bit to last season where there was this huge success in winning the title then of course you go into the next season and you have your targets, your aims and your aims are the same”, he said. But we’ve all seen this movie before; when a player wants a move, they tend to get their way, and MLS franchises as a whole don’t have quite enough clout to stare down big European clubs.

Hazard proved an unwitting participant in Dr Eva Carneiro’s exit from Chelsea in September. Blues medic Carneiro was branded “naive” for rushing onto the field to treat the Belgium star in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Swansea on August 8.

The Dutchman has replaced Jose Mourinho but confirmed at a press conference on Wednesday it is only likely to be a short-term role.

“The players have a profound obligation to perform, ‘ he continued revealing what he expects of them”. He wants Holland to continue to be heavily involved during training and matches. Much like Liverpool and FSG have shown with consecutive media savvy managers Rodgers and Klopp, the image of the club usurps the “win at all costs” mentality in this day and age.

The Blues’ two-time Player of the Year has failed to score in 24 appearances across all competitions this season, a steep fall from the player who managed to net 19 goals last season and 17 goals the campaign before that.
