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.

AMES, Iowa -- Establishing the run has been something Iowa State has wanted to accomplish all season.The Cyclones finally found their ground game in last weeks win at Kansas and theyre hoping that blueprint can help them finish yet another lost season on a high note.Iowa State (2-8, 1-6 Big 12) rushed for 238 yards on 46 carries in a 31-24 victory over the Jayhawks that snapped a five-game losing skid. True freshman David Montgomery led the way with a career-high, 169-yard effort that earned him Big 12 newcomer of the week honors.Montgomery and the Cyclones host Texas Tech (4-6, 2-5) Saturday as part of a two-game home stand to close out 2016.A lot of what David has done is a credit to his process and his work ethic. I really appreciate his detail and maturity, Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said. Hes really worked hard at studying the game on film and being locked in.Despite a makeshift offensive line, Iowa State thought it had a chance to be a decent running team because it had Mike Warren, the nations leading freshman running back in 2015.But with Warren struggling with an ankle injury, Montgomery stepped in and gave the Cyclones a welcome boost.Montgomery, a Cincinnati native who rushed for 41 touchdowns on 10.1 yards per carry as a high school senior a year ago, was one of the most promising players in Campbells first recruiting class. Campbell immediately saw Montgomerys speed as an asset for a program with needs across the board.Montgomery averaged at least four yards per carry in each of his first seven Big 12 games. He is at 5.1 yards per carry overall, despite not getting much of a chance to develop the rhythm that comes with extendeed playing time.ddddddddddddThe promise Montgomery showed in a 34-24 loss to No. 8 Oklahoma two weeks ago came to fruition against the Jayhawks. He averaged seven yards a carry as Iowa State scored 28 of the games final 38 points.At some point you go with the hot hand too. And he had the hot hand, Campbell said. The tenacity that he was running with on Saturday led us to say that we really (keep) giving the ball to the guy whos really running well.But the most surprising development in Iowa States rushing attack has been the rise of walk-on Mitchell Harger.Harger, a redshirt senior from Alburnett, Iowa, a town of less than 1,000 people, spent his first three years with the Cyclones as a special teams player. His only notable moment came last year at West Virginia, when he converted a fake punt.But with Iowa State trailing Kansas 24-16, Campbell gave Harger a chance as a lead back for one series.Harger ran the ball eight times out of nine plays, driving Iowa State down the field before scoring from six yards out on third-and-goal.Harger might not play much more this season as Warren gets healthier and Montgomery continues to improve. But Hargers work ethic and attitude have rubbed off on a team still learning what it takes to win consistently.He comes in here every single day and he hasnt complained once, wide receiver Allen Lazard said. Hes always worked extremely hard. Hes just happy to be here. It just makes me appreciate my life because I am a scholarship guy.---More college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
