I want to do more with the players on a daily basis but that is impossible because I am national team manager.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I am not going into the speculation as I have to prepare the team and to make sure that no one can blame me afterwards saying I was concentrating on other things. I am not going into speculation, I am fully concentrated. I demand full commitment from myself so I will not go into speculation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am being forced by circumstances to go into a tunnel and exclude a little bit the outside world. I have heard a lot of rumours and speculation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have told the players they must focus on Belgium and the same goes for me. I am fully focused on getting the team ready for next Friday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>via Guus Hiddink refuses to be drawn on links with Chelsea | Football | guardian.co.uk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guus Hiddink refuses to be drawn on links with Chelsea * guardian.co.uk, Thursday 26 May 2011 09.39 BST Guus Hiddink Guus Hiddink has admitted he misses the day-to-day nature of club management, but is refusing to be drawn on speculation linking him with a return to Chelsea.
