Kuyt 'fed-up': Do Chelsea players have confidence in Ziyech?

Former Holland striker Dirk Kuyt was left frustrated with Hakim Ziyech's performance for Chelsea in last night's draw at Real Madrid.

Chelsea drew 1-1 at Real Madrid in their Champions League semifinal first-leg, with Ziyech appearing as a second-half substitute.

Watching for Ziggo Sport was Kuyt, who lamented: "I thought he was reasonably good, although I was still annoyed by a number of moments when he can be played between the lines, and then is still ignored.

"I'm fed up with that. I don't know what it is. A lack of confidence from his fellow players? You just need a few good moments.

"I thought the goal against Manchester City (in the FA Cup semi-final) could have been such a moment."
