Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has praised and hailed the team spirit at the club and has once again compared life at White Hart Lane with life at Stamford Bridge.
The Portuguese manager has not missed a single opportunity to hit out at his former club. Earlier this month, Villas-Boas had spoken to the press about his dismissal by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 owner Roman Abramovich saying that while he respects the Russian tycoon’s decision
to sack him, he will never be able to accept it.
Villas-Boas also revealed that Abramovich had let him down by moving back on his promises to the manager early on in the season. Perhaps the Portuguese manager was dismissed rather harshly, having only served as manager for only 8 months.
The ex-Porto boss had come to Stamford Bridge with an impressive resume, boasting of the Portuguese quadruple with Porto. Villas-Boas was however unable to replicate that success with the Blues.
Now, as new Tottenham manager, he is not looking back and is fully focused on his new project and hopes to take the team to new heights and contend for top titles. The tactician is ambitious and hopes to add new faces to the Spurs squad, having already signed
Gylfi Sigurdsson and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jan-Vertonghen-c17814.
Speaking to reporters, Villas-Boas said:
"They are a great group who are enjoying what they are doing.”
"I think the warmth of the group is excellent to see, and you know two different groups react differently. And we've seen that the spirit within this group has been fantastic - it's different from what I had in the last year."
He also spoke about Welshman Gareth Bale’s Olympic controversy and Fifa President Sepp Blatter’s wish to ban the winger from playing for Tottenham after he pulled out of Team GB’s Olympic squad.
“I can understand the frustration for missing a player of Gareth's dimensions involved with Team GB. He has decided to speak, maybe not knowing the full extent of the situation. They are unfortunate comments, but I can't make any more comment because he
is the Fifa president."
