Chelsea boss AVB: Torres not intimidated by Drogba

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Fri, 01/20/2012 - 01:34

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas denies Fernando Torres is intimidated by Didier Drogba.

Villas-Boas was confident Torres had not become the latest Blues striker to be "devoured" by Drogba, as Carlo Ancelotti claimed this week.

Villas-Boas rejected Ancelotti's analysis on Thursday afternoon, saying: "It would be unfair for a player of Fernando's personality and dimension to conclude that one is inflicting on the other one's belief.

"If that was the case with any player, it would be a mental weakness or a mental block, which is not the case in my opinion."

i am a fan of avb.. and i really think he should not be blamed or be compared to the likes of mourinho.. when mourinho came.. lampard drogba terry where all young and amazing..!!! and mourinho had inherited a young team.. rather than avb..! avb has come to a team which was not atall left in a good state by ancelotti.. a manager who ACTUALLY should have changed the squad 2 years ago.. its the slow process by ancelotti that has made it worse for our current situation and i have no doubt that avb is the man to change this team.. IF ANY OF YOU WATCH PORTO PLAYING LAST YEAR..as compared to this year.. you will know what i am tlaking about.... this guy needs a hulk, falcao moutinho alevirra and likes of fast players!!! he had that at porto at chelsea i am sorry except sturridge or ramiers or our team doesnt have the speed.. ! and mata should be playing behind the front man to provide passes.. hazard torres sturridge will ruin teams!! TORRES IS COMING BACK! he wil score atleast 10 more goals!
