Guus Hiddink, temporary manager of Chelsea, is enjoying a winning debut with a 1-0 Premier League victory away to Aston Villa on Saturday. The goal was made by Nicolas Anelka’s. It is the 21st goal of the season.
Frank Lampard earlier, few days before the match said about Hiddink that “Hiddink has cast his eye over training and the game and you can see a little lift in the lads trying to impress him, which always happens when a new manager comes in.”
This was the first victory for Chelsea in a decade at Villa Park. The Blues leapfrog their opponents into third in the table.
Guus Hiddink sparked demonstrations in Moscow earlier by fans who were annoyed at his decision to combine his duties as manager of the Russian national side and also with replacement for Luiz Felipe Scolari at Stamford Bridge for the next fourteen weeks.
The England coach visits Villa Park quite often than most Premier League grounds in recent days to monitor the progress of Villa’s England youngsters. But yes, the Italian cannot have failed to have been impressed by Lampard.
