What managers say

Guus Hiddink: [On Costa] “I’m very proud of him the way he’s playing and, going not over the edge, but he likes to fight in the real way of the game. That’s what we like. I protect him and support him when he’s doing what he has done in my period at Chelsea. He scored recently in not the worst league in the world. In the Premier League he frequently is scoring now, since December, January.Before he had this problem of not scoring, as did the team. Let’s see and hope he can make it to the European level as well.”

Laurent Blanc: “There are two facets to Diego Costa: the player and the man. The player I like very much, a centre-forward who can score a lot of goals, has good movement, who works hard for the team. I’m a big fan of the player. We also know the man, a man who likes contact, duels, challenges, even provocation at times. That’s part of his game. We saw that last year. He’s a player used to playing like that. He doesn’t just do that against PSG. I’ll tell my players not to respond to that. We have to keep cool in the face of provocation, even if they are Brazilians.”
