PRESSURE ... Andre Villas-Boas
ROMAN ABRAMOVICH has turned up the heat on manager Andre Villas-Boas by visiting Chelsea's training ground for the THIRD time in five days.
The billionaire Blues owner had hardly been seen at the club this season until arriving unannounced ahead of Sunday's 3-3 draw with Manchester United.
With Chelsea fourth in the Premier League, 14 points behind leaders Manchester City, Abramovich is making it clear that he expects big improvements.
Villas-Boas has been told that qualification for next season's Champions League is the absolute minimum target — or he will be out in the summer.
