CARROW ROAD, Norwich—It was during his first press conference back as Chelsea interim manager that Guus Hiddink made a promise.
Bleacher Report asked him if he would look to field more of Chelsea's talented youngsters this season in order to help blood the next generation at Stamford Bridge.
"It's a little bit too early to say now that tomorrow I will bring in a youngster of 17, 18 or 19 years old," Hiddink replied. "But in general, if they show they are competitive, then I am not against giving them opportunities."
A little over two months on and the Dutchman is doing just that.
