Hiddink - No pressure worry

26 May 2009 17:51
Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink is confident his players will handle the tension when they meet Everton in the FA Cup final. Saturday's encounter will be Hiddink's last game in charge before he resumes sole charge of Russia. It is Chelsea's last chance to lift silverware this season but Hiddink is certain his experienced squad will cope with the pressure. "The thing is to control your nerves and the players have a lot of experience," Hiddink said. "The tension will come out automatically and I am sure our players can handle that." Hiddink also reserved praise for David Moyes' Everton, who have again impressed this campaign, finishing sixth in the Premier League. "I respect very much how David Moyes has made his team, not having the highest budget, and managing a team like that shows he is a very good professional," said Hiddink. "It is a tough team. They have shown it twice against Chelsea with two draws. They have very good tactical discipline and on top of that they have quality players who can make a difference. "They have very skilful and smart players and are a difficult team to play against." Meanwhile, the club have confirmed there will be no parade through Chelsea should they claim glory. "There won't be a parade unfortunately, there was going to be one if we had won the Champions League but it is the same as it was in 2007, the police costs to prepare it and then not have it are just too much and really do rule it out," said a spokesperson on Chelsea TV. "So as a result, unfortunately, there will not be one."
