GUUS HIDDINK COMMENTS ON OSCAR AND DIEGO COSTA'S CONFRONTATION

Yesterday afternoon, some media outlets reported a training-ground confrontation between Oscar and Diego Costa had occurred, and Hiddink was asked for his perspective of the incident. He said it was a pity there were no photographs of it.

"There would have been some beautiful pictures of the two bulls who were chesting a bit after a challenge from behind from the smallest bull - Oscar.

"His challenge from behind was overdone, especially when you know Oscar who is not the biggest tackler in the team. They stumbled over, stood up and chested a bit without any further seriousness.

"It was the threat of two bulls. We came in between but there was no need to grab them to avoid them hitting [each other]. It was an intense and sharp training session and these things happen.

"After that Oscar apologised in front of the group for his overreacting and they looked at each other and started laughing,' concluded Hiddink. 'Jokes were made after. It’s solved."

when asked about this weekend's match action, the manager looked ahead to the visit of third-tier Scunthorpe in the FA Cup, a competition he holds close to his heart.

"We take all our opponents very seriously. My team and myself have watched part of their games,' said Hiddink of Scunthorpe.

"It’s their game here and they are dreaming of getting a good result. They have players like the striker [Paddy] Madden who already has 14 goals, so we are very well aware who is playing and who can cause danger so we take this opponent very seriously." he said.
