Andre Villas-Boas

The Portuguese head coach hailed his new side

Tottenham head coach Andre Villas-Boas has had another dig at Chelsea, claiming that the spirit as Spurs is better than at the Blues.

The Portuguese boss endured a turbulent nine months at Stamford Bridge before being sacked with his former side falling off the pace of the Premier League.

“I think the warmth of the group is excellent to see,” Villas-Boas said.

“It is two different groups reacting differently.

“We’ve seen the spirit of this group and it is different from what I had last year.

“But from my perspective I have been adapting to them.

“They are enjoying what they are doing.”
