André Villas-Boas is lucky.

He returns to his hometown, journalists rush to the vein, and that makes him forget his current misfortunes.

“I read the articles which were fascinating and which made me relive the moments lived here.

After that, that's what everyone feels for their city of birth.

I spent my youth there, I have my family there, there is my heart club.

It's like going back to Marseille for a Marseillais, these are two cities that have charisma.

It's visceral, like an attachment ”.

Marseille must win in order not to equal the sad record of 12 defeats in a row in the Champions League.

Very good.

But back on topic.

Already dropped in the qualifying race, OM are still playing a little more than butter in Porto.

It is indeed in his honor, since the dolphin of PSG last year, remains on a hallucinating series of 11 defeats in a row in the Champions League, and that the absolute record of Anderlecht, 12 losses in a row, is approaches dangerously.

“You have to push the players to give a little more.

If that does not allow us to take points in this competition, we must do better, AVB admitted at a press conference.

We don't want to break this negative record.

But to participate in these records, in any case, you have to be there.

If we're here, it's because we finished second last season.

But it's a group that is learning, with a lot of players new to competition ”.

An excuse that is starting to feel warm.
