It was reported earlier this week that Villas Boas had a testy meeting with Roman Abramovich.
“Regarding the presence of the owner, you can speculate whatever you want but for us, it is fantastic to have him here,” Villas-Boas said. “It is not distracting, not at all. With physical presence, you get your ideas across better, which is good. The meetings have been good … short, accurate and precise.”
