http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 win – Champions League news
Following Chelsea's 3-0 win over Valencia in the last group stage game of the Champions League, Andre Villas-Boas came out blasting the media for continuously persecuted the Blues.
The North London side has been criticized wildly in the media for their poor form. With the Premier League contenders losing to the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 in recent weeks, young Villas-Boas has come under tremendous pressure.
High spending Manchester City, despite being atop the Premier League charts, are facing elimination from the elite European competition, a fact not lost on the Portuguese tactician, who lashed out on the media for taking a soft stance on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323’s side.
He said:
“To be fair, from the coverage there only seems to be one team in the country at the moment, which is Manchester City.
“Now I do hope they qualify, sincerely, but the approach to Man City seems to be 'well, if they qualify they qualify and if they don't qualify, they don't' - basically, we don’t get that kind of margin from you guys [the media].
“I will never criticise your editorial choices, but this is the reality - people are taking perspectives which are out of this world, from criticising our players to criticising our choices.”
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 manager wasn’t done with his criticism, and went on to express that the media would be ill at ease praising Chelsea after the win.
“We have become your target and we accept that, but now you have to accept that today was a brilliant win and now it is unfortunate for you guys because you have to report on a brilliant win for Chelsea qualifying in first place. This must be difficult for you all to do.” He concluded.
