LONDON: Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas (pictured) launched an attack on members of the media at a frosty news conference following his side’s 2-2 home Premier League draw with Manchester United yesterday.
The Portuguese former Chelsea coach has been in the spotlight all week after last Sunday’s 6-0 humiliation at Manchester City and was clearly still riled as the fall-out from that dismal defeat lingered on.
“I think it’s clear I don’t think (I have been given enough respect),” Villas-Boas, who joined Spurs after being sacked in his first season at Chelsea, told reporters.
“People insult by integrity, my human values, my professionalism and one of these people is sitting here.
“It insults the success I have achieved at the clubs. I don’t think it’s fair a lack. It’s a lack of respect and an attack on a person’s integrity.”
“I know it comes with the 6-0 thrashing but the more important thing is the team and the team responded with a good performance today.”
