Guus Hiddink: Why I have to put this Chelsea star on a leash
GUUS HIDDINK has revealed that he has had to rein in Diego Costa for his own good.
Hiddink knows Costa cannot play as much as he wants to
Before Jose Mourinho's dismissal in December, the Spanish striker had struggled to match the form he showed last year which saw him amass 20 Premier League goals.
However, since Hiddink's arrival, Costa has ten goals in all competitions and looks close to his very best.
But the Dutch manager knows that the former Atletico Madrid hitman, who has already played 13 games since the turn of the year, must not burn himself out.
