Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas is looking forward to next weekend’s clash against his former club Chelsea.
It will be interesting to see how Villa-Boas fares against Chelsea, the club he managed for a brief period of 6 months following a successful spell with Portuguese giants Porto.
Spurs host the European champions on October 20th when the Premier League resumes after this week’s international break.
After experiencing a slow start to their domestic campaign Tottenham are currently on a run of four consecutive wins in the Premier League. Villas-Boas will be hoping to maintain the club's winning run.
The club failed to win any of its starting three games, and the manager had come under immediate fire after his side failed to get results. Many who had criticized his appointment as Spurs manager were given further ammunition for their case.
Villas-Boas however silenced his doubters and critics after Tottenham managed a decent run of games and went up on the league table. The Portuguese signed a number of big name players during the summer, and the new-look Tottenham team finally looks to be
settling in.
Despite many calling the game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 a personal showdown, Villas-Boas insists that is not the case. He said that he is only focused on winning for Tottenham and taking them further towards a top 4 finish.
"It's not on an individual sense that I'm looking forward to the match, it's on a collective level," he said.
"It will give us a chance to finally break into the top four and join the elite of the Premier League.”
"Chelsea are a tremendous attacking force. There are a lot of creative players in that team offering all types of solutions, movements.”
"We hope to profit from the fact that we are playing at home and against an unbeaten league leader."
Spurs hosted Aston Villa at home this past weekend and emerged victorious as goals from Steven Caulker and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 ensured another home victory for the North London outfit.
Tottenham are currently competing on 4 fronts this season, and manager Andre Villas-Boas is hoping to bring some silverware to White Hart Lane and end the club’s trophy drought.
