Villas Boas Sets Out On Chelsea Revenge

Standford Bridge ex-manager, AVB has set out a revenge strategy of how to jeopardize his former club. From the sound of it, creating a habit of defeat for the blues was futile and now AVB is up to PLAN B. The letter that Villas Boas wrote to  Benfica & Jorge Jesus was more of a way of letting out how he sacked the squad before being ditched. 

Even if the letter was somewhat leaked, i strongly believe that AVB is trying to cover up for the humiliation he caused at Standford Bridge. Not forgetting the tension he almost created between the Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich and the Chelsea fans on whether to fire him or not. Eventually, tension cooled off and AVB was booted out of the club.


Andre Villas-Boas' revenge? How the sacked Chelsea boss would plot the Blues' downfall

BELOW IS THE LETTER courtesy of goal.com.

"Dear Jorge,

Firstly I would like to congratulate you on your belief in the ‘project’, and its ability to span across football as a concept rather than be limited to just one club.

Your desire to seek my advice is testament to the collective effort we can implement going forward, as we look to overturn last week’s 1-0 Champions League quarter-final defeat and progress into the last-four.
This is our goal, but we must achieve it with a certain philosophy in mind. If you care to look at page 45 of the appendix provided alongside the requested scouting report, you will see my declaration that it is “not just about winning, but winning with a certain amount of flair.”

It must become one of the key pillars on which we will build our tactical foundations, as we move forward in parallel to implement our shared agenda.

Remember, as stated on page 78 of the appendix, “this is not a one man show”, and our togetherness on emotional and intellectual plains can “solidificate” our 11 men into a unified… unit.

Chelsea as a football club were unable to adapt to the ideals of the project, and therefore will be susceptible to our higher understanding of the game, and this can be the sword which guides us to victory. HOW TO RUFFLE THE OLD GUARD

In their senior years, Chelsea’s experienced players have grown lax in their time-keeping, a trait I witnessed numerous times as I awaited their arrival for training from the balcony of my Cobham office.

We must expose their disregard for punctuality by instigating a number of time-wasting obstacles prior to kick-off.

A blocked toilet will disrupt the lavatory habits of the ageing Frank Lampard, while a series of promiscuous females loitering on Fulham Road will provide ample distraction to Ashley Cole. HOW TO EXPOSE THE HIGH LINE

The high line was not the undoing of my Chelsea backline, it was in fact a “misconception turned into opinion-making” (see page 37 of the appendix for detailed explanation) that was confused with the “medium block” style of defending.

The use of the medium block is for another day, but I can tell you when I used the high line, it left us exposed to the “horizontal shift”.

This is an attacking move employed by the opposition when your defence presses the ball from the halfway line and they cunningly break into the gaping space left in behind Jose Bosingwa.HOW TO DISTRACT JOHN TERRY

John Terry is a very difficult man to distract, so we must be creative in our methods. I would suggest a break from routine in the pre-match handshakes, but John has become very accustomed to this in recent years.

No, we must obtain his captain’s armband prior to the game and place it under Christine Bleakley’s bed, creating disarray in the dressing room before kick-off when Terry is once again accused of the high likely scenario of sleeping with another player’s partner. HOW TO USE DAVID LUIZ

It is always good to have alternative plans I found during my time at Stamford Bridge, with sometimes Plan A, and even B not going as expected.

I have great respect for David Luiz, he embodies the free-flowing spirit of the philosophy, a bit like a 10-year-old boy, gripping his beloved PS3 controller as he embarks on a dazzling run from inside his own half past several of the opposition players.

Fortunately, he replicates that respect and I still have his support. He stood with me in the days of the Frank Lampard revolt, and I believe he will aid us in our goal on Wednesday evening with some ill-timed bad positioning – such as we had been implementing since I joined Chelsea in the event that the project needed to be aborted. HOW TO DESTROY SQUAD MORALE

I remember from my time at Chelsea the squad’s love for videos of tactical analysis. When I would emerge from my Japanese Capsule style bed in the training ground clutching my case full of DVDs the whole team would cheer and laugh. It was one of the good times.

“DVD” they would shout as I entered the room, before roaring with laughter. Sabotaging this by stealing the discs will not only ruin their preparation, but also lower morale. HOW TO STOP TORRES

One of the easier tasks during my time at Stamford Bridge was preventing Torres from scoring.

This often involved allowing him 10 minutes on the field at the end of each game – enough time for everybody to be reminded of how poor he is was, but not enough for him to get into the game and begin to find form.

In order to prevent his recent efficiency up front from continuing, we must use similar tactics to our Premier League opponents and mark every other player on the field apart from Fernando. When the ball is with him it is less dangerous.

Yours sincerely,

Andre Villas-Boas."


Poor AVB, tying to generate some attention. What a bad publicity strategy. AVB should get himself an agent that will give better advice on how to capture attention.

Weekend Premier league Matches; RIVERTING

The premier league matches played over the weekend were wholesomely intriguing. It was raining goals for the majority of the games played. Sunderland played a be-dazzling match against City, being the first squad to win against Man City at home, drawing three all.

The premier league cup, the dream for many.

Liverpool's aspirations of ending the season at top four were crushed after they sunk deep after losing to Newcastle with a 2-0 margin. The gunners pointed the gun in the wrong direction as they were shot on target by QPR with a 2-1 defeat. Arsenal are at 53 together with Tottenham HotSpurs. Tottenham trashed  Swansea with an embarrassing 3-1. Looks like Spur are holding firm on fourth position  and Chelsea will not get a chance to challenge that. If Spurs is able to maintain their winning ways with  five wins between now and the end of the season, then its an automatic qualifier to the Champions League for them.The gunners pointed the gun in the wrong direction as they were shot on target by QPR with a 2-1 defeat.

What teams do for prestige.

The blues managed to freeze Aston Villa with a 4-2, a score line that wasn't able to put Chelsea back to fourth spot in the standings. At this point, the blues have to rely on lady luck, in the hope that Spurs loses all of its coming games. Will chance make Chelsea get the ticket to the Champions league, or are they stuck with the Europa qualifier??

Log leaders, Man U are playing Blackburn Rovers. Will the match send the devils back to second place knowing that Man City are only two points behind them??

With the Premier league, fans are intrigued!!
