Tottenham Hotspur coach Andre Villas-Boas has bucked his reputation as you of the most impressive managers in the game by announcing he isn't an unavowed lover of mathematical analysis. The 35-year-old earned his spurs working along side Jose Mourinho at Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan, where his role included producing step by step dossiers on opposition teams. However, the Portuguese says he's been careful of the kind of empirical statistical analysis. It wasn't used by "i because I do not feel (in it )," Villas-Boas said. "You always have to be very, very careful with statistics. It can not mean that we eliminate them completely; we only do not use them to the extent that people may think. "We have a clinical department that handles that, but we don't prepare our teaching or players on the basis of the physical data we get from suits. "The brain and how the player thinks is a lot more very important to us, in place of statistical information. "For me it's useless but it differs from coach to coach. We all have different approaches." Villas-Boas was talking in front of his side's trip to West Ham United in the Premier League on Monday, with Spurs seeking a victory that would lift them above Chelsea into third place.
