Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink says he's never had to pull aside Didier Drogba about his approach.
Drogba, his season hampered by injury, suspension and a fall out with former boss Luiz Felipe Scolari, looked back to his predatory best when he pounced to fire the 12th-minute winner in the 1-0 Champions League last-16 first-leg triumph over Juventus tonight.
The Ivorian was axed by Scolari amid suggestions of a personality clash between the pair but Hiddink, in charge of his side at Stamford Bridge for the first time, has had no concerns with the striker or any other members of the squad.
"I cannot and will not talk about the past because I was not here to judge, but what I normally ask from professional players is to be very committed," said the Dutchman.
"There has not been one player that I have had to motivate. If I had to motivate a player, then I think I start fighting with him or neglecting him, generally speaking.
"I have not had this problem at all with Drogba.
"From the first day I was here, he enjoyed training and worked hard. He worked hard against Villa and again tonight. So I don't have any problems with under-motivated players."
