“He went into the tunnel without any arguing”, Hiddink said.

With only 2 games left in the season, Hiddink looks forward to replicating the performance against Spurs and playing with the spirit to win every game. “Given the situation, it doesn’t seem fair that we have a serious approach to the Tottenham game and not for the others”.
Speaking ahead of his side’s penultimate league match of the season at Liverpool on Wednesday night, the caretaker coach – who will be replaced by Italian Antonio Conte during the close season – aired his views on Terry, who has yet to sign a new contract at Stamford Bridge.
Claudio Ranieri’s Foxes can expect a warm welcome at Stamford Bridge. “But of course when a team is unexpectedly in first position they deserve a guard of honour”.
He said: “I think the other day we were sitting next to each other before the game in Bournemouth and we discussed a bit about sitting on that spot and it was a hot spot he felt, but it felt good. That is a nice scenario”.
That’s because, according to the Daily Mail, it is now all but certain John Terry will be ending his nearly two decade long love affair with the club in just a few months.
He is out of contract this summer and, while Chelsea insisted an offer may be forthcoming, there has been no news on his future, with some supporters planning to protest at the likely departure of their “Captain, Leader, Legend” at the final two games of a disappointing season.
The report claims that the farewell party will cost £22,000 for a package at the Bridge, including dressing rooms, access to the stadium screens and public address system and a barbecue.
The Blues boss said “they’re different personalities”, and added: “The most important thing is Courtois recently said he’s very happy at Chelsea and he will stay at the club”.
The one change that should get made is Thibaut Courtois returning from suspension and taking his place between the sticks once again.

The Blues will be without defender Kurt Zouma and striker Loic Remy, who are both out with long-term injuries.
