Villas-Boas wants to lift Spurs to Chelsea level

Andre Villas-Boas says his target is to lift Tottenham to the level of tomorrow's opponents Chelsea.

Villas-Boas does not believe there is a lot of difference in managing the two clubs but still feels Spurs have to bridge the gap between themselves and the top sides in England, while accepting Chelsea are already amongst the country's elite.

"Obviously (the two clubs have) different traditions and different culture, have different kinds of supporters," he said.

"(We have a) new training ground, I am enjoying it from now towards the future. Chelsea moved a bit earlier, they have an enormous amount of titles recently.

"You can say they have joined that elite, and Tottenham wants to be in that position in the future. Certainly there is a gap there to be filled, the club can raise its level towards the future."
