Chelsea are known for their attacking style of football whilst new coach Andre Villas-Boas is also known for his attacking tactics, which was clearly evident when he was managing Porto.
He got them to win the Portuguese Super Liga, Europa League and Portuguese Super Cup, throughout the season they continued to play in attacking way which saw the them score 73 goals in the league with the top scorer being Hulk.
So, as I said I think Villas-Boas is the perfect man to be the new boss at Chelsea, because they have same taste of approach.
Porto had a poor 2009-10 season, when they were coached by Jesualdo Ferreira, but when André Villas-Boas took charge he insisted that 4-3-3 was a core part of the club’s identity and he would not be changing it.
However, he made the team more offensive by inverting the midfield triangle, so instead of Ferreira’s two defensive midfielders (Raul Meireles and Fernando), Villas-Boas played two midfielders further up the pitch (João Moutinho and Fernando Belluschi or Fredy Guarín), with Fernando sitting deep.
It brought spectacular results in terms of goals – 145 goals in 58 game. One downside was that it left Porto exposed at the back, they kept only three clean sheets in their last 15 games last season.
Villas-Boas has always stood side-by-side with his president, whilst his frequent allusions to his past as a fervent Porto fan who travelled to away games immediately endeared him to fans.
Although less inclined to seek controversy than his mentor, José Mourinho, Villas-Boas is not averse to meting out sharp ripostes.

A Chelsea revival will require more than Villas-Boaz; Chelsea must get fresh players. It’s time for staff and fans to face some facts. Chelsea has six slowing players; they cannot hope to compete with Man Utd and Barcelona like that. If Chelsea are serious about beating these teams they will need to sign some special talent; and this talent must be young enough to give Chelsea a good ten years. We understand the need for evolution instead of revolution; a big and sudden change can make a team weak. But one or two new players isn’t going to do it either. Some serious change is required. Chelsea’s right wing-backs have been sub-standard for a number of seasons, and some of our beloved golden-oldies are a meter short of pace. Against the top sides, this simply won’t do! So how serious are we?
