Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has defended striker Diego Costa following the players behaviour this season.
“When I did not know Diego from the inside – since December I do, bit by bit, the first couple of weeks you have to get used to it,” Hiddink said.
“You could not approach him (not sure I understood this little bit). But you see him I would say that I have got sympathy for him. Nevertheless, I also talk about how we can control him.”
“He did halfway during the season, then afterwards then, I think he was different in his behaviour. I have said many time I think you were present I don’t give any guarantee, as he is not a machine, but a human being, that he will not at one time explode again. “
“It also gives the frustration. He always wants to play. If you see him medically, maybe we should have said the Champions League would be difficult, the FA Cup, difficult because not of is not lack of fitness, but little injures.”
“He made (scored) the goal against Paris St-Germain, so it’s a balance. I brought in some young guys like (Bertrand) Traore but they have to step up.”
“Of course, we will see the incident (Costa ‘bite’ on Barry) but in principle I protect them, every man.”
“During my spell I haven’t seen him go over the edge. This is now, and I would like to see it, this is now, maybe, the first time, in his frustration, not being totally fit, this is an accumulation of frustration, and then, he reacts.”
