"I am confident that I can respond to Chelsea's expectations" - AVB

Andre Villas-Boas continues to be quoted from his interviews that took place at Stamford Bridge yesterday. First was his interview with the Official Website and last night in an interview with Chelsea TV, AVB is quoted once again. He said:

'We just want to introduce our philosophy and mould it into what is the culture of English football and English players. Gradually we will see where we can ride.

The tremendous success that Carlo had here, the magnificent two years he spent here, we want to build on from that. Carlo has left for this club some important things and we want to continue building from where he left. There will be no big radical impact or big radical rupture.

We want to continue having trophies, but this is not a one-man show, this is a common game of ideas with my ideas and the club's prospects and the owner's prospects and ambitions.

This is the most important thing in football in the modern era, you cannot put it down to one person. I want to feel everybody together in this project and continue with the magnificent work Carlo left behind. The natural progression for this club is to keep winning and that's what I want to do.

I think the players will like it, We are very open-minded, we are open to them, to their problems and not only the problems they face on the pitch but their problems that they face in their day-to-day life.

We are not just managers of the game, we are people who understand the person as a whole. This is something that we feel can have a good impact.

My last year was a year when we achieved so many things and we had support, we had structure with people around me, and now I took this challenge as an individual challenge that I wanted to take.

It is a big, big step and I am confident that I can respond to Chelsea's expectations and we can focus on the four trophies that we have to win. I am pretty much confident that people will like it. This is a new leadership, a new communication, a new way of being, but I think in the end it all ends up in the motivation everyone must feel to continue to win for the club.

When I was here before it was excellent times. The move from Porto to London was a brave move for Jose and it was happy times. We won two Premierships after 50 years from Chelsea winning the first championship and it was something massive by that time, it was something that made us very proud.

So it is good to be back at a club where I know the people around and hopefully we can start the season with a tremendous impact with staff, players and this new empathy that I want to bring.'
