Villas-Boas denies feeling pressure after Spurs' first win

By Mark Fordham

Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas denied feeling any pressure ahead of their first Premier League victory of the season.

The Portuguese manager had seen his team drop seven points from just their opening three Premier League games before an impressive 3-1 win over Reading at the Madejski Stadium yesterday (September 16th).

Villas-Boas also refused to react to comments made by his predecessor Harry Redknapp who said in an interview with the Daily Mail that modern managers can "baffle brains".

The Spurs boss said the manager's job is not the important part of a football club, stating that it is the players that take teams to success. He added that different managers have varied styles for their players.

Despite being the subject of speculation so early in the season, Villas-Boas said after the game: "I talk to the chairman Daniel Levy every day. I didn't feel under any pressure at all". ADNFCR-8000010-ID-801450342-ADNFCR
