Chelsea which is coached by Jose
Mourinho will meet his neighbor Tottenham Hotspur the team of compatriot Andre
Vilas Boas in the English Premier League football on Saturday.
Saturday's game will be the first
confrontation between the Portuguese coaches since leaving Villa Boas technical
staff for Mourinho at Inter Milan to take over the training Portugal Academica
four years ago.
Villa Boas worked as assistant to
Mourinho at Porto and Chelsea before Inter Milan.
Villa Boas said "My
relationship with him on both artistic and personal were excellent ... because we worked together for many
years."
Villa Boas added, saying that he
wants to continue to work with Mourinho for the development of skills training
and information, but "There was a separation between us ... because he (Mourinho) did not feel the
need to having someone else close to him."
Villa Boas denied having grudges
between him and Mourinho and said they were talking to each other, but the
strong friendship between them no longer exists.
On the other hand, Andre Vilas
Boas the coach of Tottenham Hotspur Said that the decision to rival Chelsea in
the English Premier League football to refuse his request to join Juan Mata
during the recent transfer period shows that the two clubs have become real competitor.
At the present time Mata is no
longer an essential at Chelsea since the return of Coach Jose Mourinho and
international Spaniard realizes very well that he should change the way of his playing
if he wanted to return to the lineup.
Vilas Boas said, whose team will
host Chelsea on Saturday that Tottenham inquired about the possibility of
contracting with the playmaker Mata but the rival rejected.
He told reporters in the pitch of
the special training in Tottenham “the Secretariat requires saying that we did
not continue endeavors. While it is available bring players a first-class with
the change of position for them in their clubs, especially with a player like
Juan Mata then you must take the initiative by asking about the situation... but
it did not exceed that. "
Boas continued "This is normal,
last year we were competing on the same goals
... initially competing for the title and then on to qualify for the
Champions League, so I suppose that after that no one wants to strengthen the
power of his rival. I believe that this is a reference to the evolution in
Tottenham, too."
And Chelsea also seeks to subvert
the neighbor's plans to buy Brazilian international midfielder Lillian and
already managed to sign him, despite undergoing a medical examination at
Tottenham.
The Portuguese coach said,
"I do not know at all what caused them to move to annex Lillian, but I am
confident that he is a good support already."
Boas added "In the end, all
agree in this context they are strong indeed, but they decided to do it (and
Lillian) young talent has many capabilities."
