Chelsea midfielder Oscar believes interim manager Guus Hiddink is getting the best out of his players and has them working as a team. Hiddinks relaxed style appears to have turned Chelseas season around as their struggles in the final months of Jose Mourinhos reign now seem distant.Chelseas defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in midweek was their first since Hiddinks arrival in December, and only his second in 34 matches in two spells at the club. Oscar certainly seems to be playing with more confidence in recent months, the 24-year-old has scored five goals in 12 games since the arrival of the Dutchman.Hiddink has also reintroduced John Obi Mikel as a second defensive midfielder to protect a back four that was looking bedraggled in the first half of the campaign. Hiddink: No plans to stay on Guus Hiddink admits his managerial career will end this season [The coach] has been very good for the attacking players and he has really emphasised the importance of playing good football and creating lots of chances and scoring more goals, Oscar said on The Sunday Times.All the attackers have felt that [message] and the improvement is clear for everyone to see. He wants to see us be compact all the time. Based on how well Guus has been doing so far, he could very well stay. Guus Hiddink is the Chelseas manager until the end of the season The Brazil internationals compatriot Ramires decided to leave Chelsea for Jiangsu Suning in January, but despite the Chinese clubs attempt to lure Oscar, he has no intention of leaving Chelsea for the time being.Its a good move, Oscar said of his former team-mate.As for me, there was interest but I have no desire to leave Europe, Chelsea are a fantastic, very big club and Im still young.Im 24 so I have a lot of football here ahead of me.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Brad Kaaya gets recognized almost everywhere he goes now. Fans asked him to pose for pictures with them at a recent Justin Bieber concert. Hes gotten used to shooing away people who see him in restaurants and try to pick up his check. He even got noticed at a baseball game earlier this year.A game in Toronto, that is.Even when hes far from home, all eyes seem to be on Miamis quarterback. The Hurricanes have new coach in Mark Richt and are a decade removed from their last bowl win, but possess a bona fide star in Kaaya -- a junior widely expected to turn pro after this season and who has Miamis now-annual hopes for a resurgence resting squarely on his shoulders.Weve gone through some things and weve been in big games, Kaaya said. Weve had all kinds of ups and downs. Weve got guys who have played in Blacksburg, played at Tallahassee, played at Nebraska, guys whove seen a lot. And from practice one this spring, even with a new offense, we clicked right away. I dont want to get too ahead of myself, but that right there has me pretty excited.If Kaayas excited, thats a good thing for the starving Hurricane fan base.Hes had a California coolness to him -- makes sense, since hes from the Los Angeles area -- from basically the moment he arrived on campus two years ago and was quickly installed as the starting quarterback as a true freshman. Hes seen the program deal with NCAA sanctions, the firing of coach Al Golden last fall after a 58-0 loss to Clemson and plenty of other disappointments.But hes rarely rattled, and already has won Richts confidence -- even before Miami starts training camp in early August.Hes human. Not perfect, Richt said. But weve got a lot to work with. Hes very smart, very accurate, hes got good size, got great field vision and awareness. I havent coached him in the middle of a ballgame, dont know how he reacts to adversity. But I think theres a mental and physical toughness that he has thats crucial to have if youre going to have success at that position.The Hurricanes havent had as much success as they want, but thats hardly Kaayas fault.Miami is scheduled to openn this season against Florida A&M on Sept.dddddddddddd 3 -- Kaayas 21st birthday -- and at his current pace he could eclipse the schools all-time passing yardage record by seasons end. Kaaya has averaged 3,218 yards in each of his first two years with the Hurricanes; hes 3,130 yards away from breaking the record that Ken Dorsey set from 1999 through 2002.Hes eight touchdown throws away from being the third Hurricane to pass for 50 scores in a career as well. Its numbers like those -- and many others -- why hes mentioned among the elite players in the Atlantic Coast Conference by the coach of Miamis biggest rival, even while the Hurricanes have gone a mere 13-12 in Kaayas 25 career starts.Name me a league that has bigger stars than (Florida State running back) Dalvin Cook, (Clemson quarterback) Deshaun Watson and Brad Kaaya, said Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher, who went on to rave about Kaayas throwing ability and in the past has even mentioned him as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate.Given all that, its easy to see why Kaaya could be a 2017 draft possibility.He knows very well that quarterbacks went No. 1 and No. 2 overall in this years draft, with Jared Goff and Carson Wentz in those spots. They signed deals that will be worth a combined $54.6 million over the next four years.Yet when the big question comes these days, Kaaya sidesteps it with ease.Its not really right to speculate, Kaaya said. Its not fair to me. Ive worked too hard to get ahead of myself. Dating back to when I was a freshman in high school and I had zero offers, thats what I think about. I think about the next day. Thats it. My biggest worry right now is getting through conditioning in the morning, the 6 a.m. workouts were doing.Just as he did in 2014 and 2015, he thinks Miami can turn this season into something special. And maybe more than ever, itll be on him to carry the Hurricanes to the heights theyre desperate to reach.Theres a lot of work to do, Kaaya said. But I think were on the right track. ' ' '
