London, England (My Sportsbook) - New Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink is hoping to turn the clock back two decades and clinch a second Champions League title in the coming months. Hiddink won the European Cup with PSV Eindhoven way back in 1988 and is hopeful of guiding the Blues to glory, with Chelsea having suffered heartbreak in a penalty shootout loss to Manchester United in last season's final. "As a young coach, it is kind of a dream to have this cup in your hands," he told the Daily Express. "When it happened once with me, it gave me such an intense and proud feeling of joy - you have achieved what you have been dreaming of. To do it twice would be yet another dream. "A team has the best chance of getting there if they have had frequent experience of getting close to finals, like Chelsea in recent years. "It is a beautiful road, but a very difficult road. But after something like that there is always a hunger. "For us the Premier League is very difficult now, but as long as it's not mathematically decided, the players have an obligation to go for it. "But the Champions League path is very attractive. If we can overcome Juventus, then you can see May coming up." (Courtesy of sportbox.tv) |
