Andre Villas-Boas

“Celebrations are for the players to express themselves.”

“In professional football you have to live day-to-day.”

“I am a person who always puts the team in front and I do it publicly.”

“To compete in the Dakar Rally is a lifetime ambition for me and is something I know I have to do.”

“I've been very well received by all the people I've met in St. Petersburg.”

“Players can only achieve their true 'potential if they are not 'shackled and are able to stand on their own two feet.”

“In Porto, when we were preparing, the players guessed the team that was going to play.”

“I wouldn't criticise Carlo Ancelotti.”

“Returning to England is definitely not in my plans. I had talks with Liverpool, a club I admire a lot, but like I said it's not in my plans, although life takes many turns.”

“I think, in the Premier League we have a situation where contacts happen more often than in Europe and the direction of the attack changes more frequently from one team to the other.”

“I want success. I have expectations and want to look back on a career I can be proud of.”

“Ideally when you set up for the first game of the season... to have put the team to bed would be the ideal situation.”

“We can't think after every win that we're playing as we want just because we won a match.”

“The club is more important than any individual.”

“I got an offer from Paris Saint-Germain, who wanted me, but I said no out of love for Tottenham. Maybe that was a mistake.”

“I strongly believe that'players have to express themselves to their full potential, they must be able to make choices during the game.”

“Tottenham set a points and victories record in my first season, missed out on the Champions League by one point and had a great run in the Europa League. In the second season, at the time I left we had more points than in the previous campaign.”

“I have never used Prozone.”

“I didn't take the Porto job nor the Chelsea job because Jose made the same steps.”

“I have become more versatile after the Chelsea experience.”
