Hiddink has taken on the job of coaching Chelsea until the end of the season following the sacking of Luiz Felipe Scolari on Monday. Although Manchester United could be 10 points clear of the Blues if they beat Fulham next week, the Dutchman refuses to concede the title just yet.

"They are in several races, the FA Cup is there, the Champions League and also the league," Hiddink told Chelsea TV.

"There is a 10-point difference but if you look in the past of this league and other leagues as well, some things can happen during the final stages of the championship.

"All the three roads are very important. The next game against Watford, and then Aston Villa and Juventus, and then you go on the path of the Champions League, and that is so attractive. The club has the experience to go to the final.

"I have to live, as soon as possible, in the depth of the club, but I just recently talked to the players for a few minutes in the dressing room this afternoon (Thursday).

"I am not just here to add to my experience with the club and Premier League, but also I want to see these results as soon as possible.

"The players are very committed, I have seen the training session, but sometimes you can have a little bit different approach to get even more efficiency out of the players.

"That is where I am aiming at and if you add those individuals together and make a team, then everyone can bring a little bit more.

"Not just in commitment. It is too easy to talk commitment because everyone has an obligation to be committed, but in the tactical and the strategic approach during the game. We might gain some profit."
