Hiddink targets perfect finish

Guus Hiddink believes Chelsea cannot afford to drop any more points if they are to land the Premier League title. The Blues have 12 games in which to erase Manchester United's 10-point lead at the summit and bring the trophy back to Stamford Bridge for the first time in three years.They face a mammoth task if they are to usurp the Red Devils at the summit, with United boss Sir Alex Ferguson already ruling them out of the running.However, Hiddink is refusing to give hope and believes maximum points between now and the end of the season could see Chelsea pip their rivals to the crown."Alex Ferguson is in the lead and in the driver's seat and can talk as he does. I respect him very much for what he has achieved over a long period at the club," the Dutchman told the Evening Standard.Challenge"They are in the lead and we are some points away, but there is still some way to go. There has to be a lot done on our side to challenge them, but we will try. We can't afford to drop one single point."The owner didn't demand anything when I agreed to take the job - there were no specific demands. Everyone wants to see Chelsea going up the league and not in the position they're in now."Meanwhile, Hiddink does believe that doubts regarding his own future at Stamford Bridge, having only signed a short-term deal until the end of the season, will have an adverse affect on his players."The players cannot think, 'oh this manager is away at the end of the season so we can relax or whatever'. We don't accept that, I don't accept that," he added."I don't think the attitude of the players is like that anyway. If you have this attitude you do not deserve to be a member of any club."
