Chelsea boss Villas-Boas hails support of Asian fans

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas admits the players have been bowled over by the support received during their Asia tour.

Villas-Boas praised the support the team has received since touching down in Malaysia 12 days ago.

"It's been amazing all throughout the tour," he told chelseafc.com. "This was a sell-out of 40,000 I think and it's excellent to feel the affection of people.

"We crossed people from Mongolia who travelled 4,000 kilometres to be here and that represents what the club has achieved in the past and represents the love the fans feel for the Chelsea club."
