Chelsea boss Hiddink: Respect for Terry, Lampard has grown

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink paid tribute to goal scorers John Terry and Frank Lampard after their victory over Wigan on Saturday.

"It is important to have those terrific professionals out there," said Hiddink, referring to Terry and Lampard.

"I had respected them from outside as long as I had known them. But now I know them from very close, my respect for them has grown.

"You have to have the basic qualities as a player - they both have that - but they also have the determination which is decisive in a player."
