Chelsea midfielder Lucas Piazon has spoken of working with Olympique Marseille coach Andre Villas-Boas.
Currently on-loan with Rio Ave, Piazon worked with AVB for a short time at Chelsea.
Speaking of his move to London as a 17 year-old, he told Maisfutebol: "I only aspired to reach the main team of São Paulo. I arrived in another world. I never trained with the professionals from São Paulo and, suddenly, I was already there with those monsters.
"I trained with the main squad on the first day. John Terry, Lampard, Drogba… 'What am I doing here?' (laughs) The trainer was André Villas-Boas, Portuguese.
"I turned 18 in January and at that stage there were some players missing from CAN. André Villas-Boas called me for some matches.
"Unfortunately, I didn't have the pleasure of training for a long time with him, because André later left Chelsea. I remember that he did training completely different from what I knew in Brazil. It was almost always in small spaces and with great intensity. I even adapted well to André's work proposal. In Brazil it didn't even occur to me to train that way."
