Chelsea midfielder Ramires: Andre Villas-Boas is the best coach I’ve ever had
The Brazilian has known his manager for a few years and has been rewarded for his form by starting every league game this season after having initially struggled with the Blues
Ramires has lavished praise on Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas, calling him the best coach he has ever worked for.
The 24-year-old has started every league game this season and has rewarded his Portuguese boss with two goals.
Ramires’ form is in contrast to last season where at times he struggled under Carlo Ancelotti and could only hit the back of net once, albeit a great individual effort against Manchester City.
And the Brazilian has thanked his manager for the help he has received since he took over the reins at the club this summer.
“I think it helps because he knew me from Portugal but also because I always work hard and do the best that I can, for every trainer I have worked for,” he told the club’s official website.
“He sometimes speaks to me in Portuguese, like before a game or maybe in training, but most things are in English which helps me with the learning, and when I am on the pitch I understand most things anyway.
“I knew him from Portugal, I remember playing against Academica when he became their manager two seasons ago and I was with Benfica.
“They improved a lot in that time he was with them, Villas-Boas is an excellent manager and we spoke about him a lot in Portugal when I was there.
“Having the opportunity to meet him here is fantastic because I admire the work he did in Porto immensely, and the person he is as well means he is the best trainer I have ever had.
“He is always giving you strength and belief, supporting you and telling you what you need to do. He is absolutely fantastic, very intelligent and understands the game amazingly well.
“As a person all the players think he is amazing and he treats us all equally.”
Ramires may have been overlooked for his national side since the Copa America, but he insists that he is settled at Stamford Bridge and is looking to win the Premier League title with the club.
“When I get the ball, it is like what goes through any player's mind I think, just to get to the other end and to either score or make it possible for my team-mate to score,” he added.
“When I'm carrying the ball and pass it, I always try to continue my run to give another option and that is what happened in the Norwich game.
“I've said before that I am very happy with how things are for me at the club at the moment, and it isn't just for me but the whole team, which has been growing with every match and competition.
“I hope we can continue this good phase for a very long time and win some titles, which I have not done for Chelsea yet.”
