Guus Hiddink to his ability to communicate with his players,
something that he suggests Jose Mourinho lacked.
Mikel has established himself as a key figure in the Blues'
recent turnaround, completing five of the six Premier
League games since Hiddink took over having been very
much on the periphery under former manager Mourinho.
The champions are unbeaten since Hiddink's arrival and
Mikel believes it is down to the squad responding to their
new boss's ability to interact with his players.
The Nigerian confirmed that the mood at Stamford Bridge is
better than it was under Mourinho, telling BBC Sport : "Yes,
the mood is better, I think that's what [Hiddink] has brought
into the football club.
"He's so calm and so relaxed, just the way he
communicates with the players – and maybe that's what
the players felt they didn’t get from the previous manager
[Mourinho].
"Sometimes with players – not just because they're not
playing – you need to communicate with them, speak to
them, and don't just ignore them because players like to be
communicated to."
