The Blues duo came to blows in training on Thursday,
but the interim manager states he is not worried,
adding it makes the training session "on edge" Chelsea
interim manager Guus Hiddink encouraged players to
show fight and emotion, claiming it raises their level
of playing, following a clash between Oscar and Diego
Costa .
The two Blues stars were involved in a training ground
bust-up on Thursday, with Hiddink confirming they
buried the hatchet soon afterwards.
Midfielder Oscar started the row with a strong
challenge on Costa before the Spain international
gave it back as good as he got, something that
Hiddink likes to see in his players.
"When this guy puts the emotion in, then
automatically his level of plays rises, and that is
encouraging," he said.
"It was the two bulls - I don't like when they hit, but
with the intensity of the training session — we had a
very sharp training session and it was on the edge.

'training fight'
"When you have to push people, then the motivation is
too low. So I like it more when I have to be alert to
what happens. Then, [I say] 'Come on, guys. Please.
This is not done at a big club — or any club.'"
Hiddink recalled previous incidents in his managerial
career, but said it is all part of the job to react and
solve those situations.
He said: "If you go through your own career, you can
have four, five, six times when you could have
incidents which the manager has to manage, to solve.
"In my first spell at PSV Eindhoven, where we had a
very strong team - we went all the way through the
European Cup at the time - I had very strong
characters, like Eric Gerets, like Soren Lerby, like
Ronald Koeman, who were very eager to win and they
liked to go on the edge.
"As a manager, you have to react rather well."
