AVB looks to Europe for Chelsea boost

by Setanta Staff , 12 February 2012 Chelsea

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas intends to use the FA Cup and Champions League to restore his team's confidence.


The Blues' poor form continued as they slipped out of the Barclays Premier League top four after a 2-0 defeat at Everton on Saturday

Chelsea, who surrendered a 3-0 lead to draw with Manchester United last week, have collected just three points from their last four league games.

The Londoners host Birmingham in the FA Cup fifth round next week before travelling to Napoli in Europe's elite competition.

Villas-Boas said: "There are two different competitions now ahead of us and two competitions where we want to show a different quality. "

We have one week to prepare for Birmingham and then Napoli.

They are two competitions where we are in a very good position and we have to rebuild confidence.

"We are in the last 16 of the FA Cup and we hope to continue to progress. That shows the spirit and resilience in a different competition."
