What Mangers Say

Andre Villas-Boas: "I don't want to step too far ahead because we need to push the boys for that deserved start, but, as soon as we achieve it, we can look at it as an opportunity to throw them in to a senior game."

Veaceslav Rusnac: "By now everyone is healthy and ready to take the field. We are not going to London just to have a regular game on the field. We are coming to get points because we want to play in Europa League in spring."
