AVB: Abramovich's test of faith? (383)

When Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas trudged off the pitch at the Stadio San Paolo in Naples on Tuesday, you could hardly say he was heading for the sanctuary of the dressing room.
After another defeat, this time to Napoli, it is in the dressing room that his problems seem to lie.
I like Villas-Boas. He was a bit sparky when I suggested to him that Chelsea were not the better team against Manchester United recently, but we agreed to disagree with a firm handshake and a sort of smile.
When you take into account that he conducts all this verbal sparring with the media in a foreign language, he is all the more impressive.
