What can Chelsea fans expect from Villas-Boas? [Part 1]
So how might the players respond to him?
Andre has already admitted to having contact with some of the players, when probed in his exclusive interview:
“Yes, a couple of them and it is good to feel they are around and to feel their expectations. Everybody is excited and everybody is looking forward to starting again and this is something positive. We need to get the group back together and to feel them and then go on from there and face every single game as a game we have to win and fight for it with our upmost desire.”
The first impression of Boas from some of the Porto players may give an insight of the feelings that may occur from those in the squad that are yet to meet Andre Villas Boas.
Hulk:
“I’m still getting to know him, but I can see that he is a great person and a great coach who helps the whole squad and tries to talk to all the players,” said Porto forward Hulk, offering an appraisal of his new coach
Fernando:
“It has been great working with the new coach,” said the Brazilian. “I am enjoying the training methods, which have been very dynamic. I hope the pace is maintained, so that we can achieve our bigger target, which is to be champions.
“The pre-season has been good and beneficial. We’ll continue to work to make a good start. We’re still only just beginning to find our rapport, but I think we’re on track.”
What can we expect from Pre-Season?
Andre Villas Boas spoke about pre-season in his official interview, he alluded it to using the same methods José Mourinho used and how it was not fitness focused, but, more of the same methods they would be using for training through the season, perhaps the lack of fitness focused work explains why at Porto his team had an unconvincing in pre-season, losing to French sides Paris Saint-German and Bordeaux in their last two matches, the exercise proved worthy as they identified a flaw in set-pieces.
“FC Porto is in good shape and we are getting better. The goals conceded from set-pieces are details that we are looking to correct. We are committed and the whole group is looking to improve.”
Despite a poor pre-season they went on to break an incredible amount of records, so if Chelsea don’t start flying immediately in pre-season do not chuck your toys out of the pram, otherwise we will remove your supporter status much quicker than André removed Meireles.
In the coming additions I’ll be giving an insight into Boas’ two key principles (Motivation and Identity), I will be discussing his managerial battles and how he might duel with the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, Boas on youngsters, transfers and more!

thats absolutely what is going on at chelsea. Drogba ganging up with some players to play rubbish so that the manager will be sacked.he did it to scolari with cech and ballack.now it is him essien mikel anelka malouda to the downfall of carlo. we dont need his pomposity again
I cannot believe I am reading someone say that Drogba ganged up with some players to play rubbish so that Ancelotti could lose his job.This sort of sentiments is simply idiotic. Any sane mind would recollect how often Drogba was the saving grace to our games. Ancelotti actually lost his job because his loses were dumb with Torres playing and Drogba on the bench.
I hope he sign in new players and ship out Drogba, lamp, kalou, malouda, zhiqkou
SHIP OUT drogba,malouda,anelka,kalou,bosingwa,
Very good article, good insight into Mourinho and AVB man managment abilities
This one of the best article I’ve read this year, well written with sensible fact, thumbs up to the writter. Back to the ending topic that aroused my attention, I think there’s a strong sense in the Drogba issue, our new coach has to stamp his authority to know who’s with him and who’s not, deffinately I see drogba going, for a player who is 33, its obvious his better days are over, so the earlier we sell em the better for the club cos next year he’s gonna be priced lowfully. And I think kalou should go, on the pitch and from interviews we can clearly see that these players are bad influence to our team with the way they behave wen they are on the sub bench. We need good young players, etc Neymar pastore van buyne felcao and personally I prefer schneider to modic cos he dosent have dat accuracy on goal. Good luck to AVB and its Chelsea foreva!!!
