Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has warned his team to be wary of the threat of Aston Villa striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Benteke-c9056 as both sides prepare to face each other for tonight’s round of Boxing Day action.
Both sides will square off tonight at Villa Park as the Premier League resumes tonight for the annual Boxing Day round of clashes. The Portuguese manager has cautioned his team and told them to prepare for the threat posed by Aston Villa striker Christian
Benteke, who has been in fine form this season.
The player moved to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-c29347 Lambert’s new look Aston Villa team. The player has enjoyed a fine start to life in the Premier League, and has scored 8 league goals so far, leading Villa’s front
line and helping them recover from a poor start to the campaign.
The player was the man of the match as he put in a star performance in the 1-3 victory over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 10 days ago at Anfield. The Belgian scored a brace as the Clarets shocked Liverpool in front of their home support, securing a well-deserved victory.
However, Villa were brought back down to earth after the 8-0 humbling at Stamford Bridge courtesy of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 this past weekend. Chelsea ran riot as Villa crashed and burned, and found themselves on the receiving end of a ruthless thrashing.
Despite last weekend’s result, Andre Villas-Boas believes that Benteke will pose a significant threat to his defenders tonight and is capable of helping his side get a result.
Speaking to reporters, he said:
“He has been outstanding, for sure. He has 8 goals so far. I think he is surprising everybody. To his credit he has come up strong. He has strong competition from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Bent-c10358.”
“I think Paul Lambert was courageous in his decision to keep on persisting with a player that he got so well in the transfer market so credit to them. But it’s good to see him up there.”
Benteke’s impressive form has recently linked him with a move to White Hart Lane, but Paul Lambert has played down all speculation and insists that the striker is going nowhere.
