London, Oct.1 (ANI): Chelsea's intense young manager Andre Villas-Boas has revealed how he escapes the pressures of the Premier League title race by turning into an easy rider.
Bristling at accusations that he is a football-obsessed geek who thinks about the game morning, noon and night, he confessed that he likes nothing better than taking his life into his own hands by riding his motorbikes through the Portuguese mountains.
"My passions are outside football and I am not one of these people who are obsessed with the game. I have a tremendous passion for the game but I don't live and breathe it 24 hours a day," The Sun quoted Villas-Boas, 33, as saying.
He added: "Some coaches like to pretend they watch everything, but I'm not like that. When it's time to switch off, I do. I don't go home and watch second division German football. Football is a very strenuous business and when I get the opportunity I go back to Portugal and ride my motorbikes into the mountains with the big rocks and almost kill myself!
Villas Boas said: "I have five motorbikes back home in Portugal, including a couple from the Paris-Dakar Rally. I also have a couple of trials bikes and I have a shared ownership in about 12 classic cars."
Villas-Boas will be back to his full-time job tomorrow when he takes Chelsea to bottom-of-the-table Bolton looking to close the gap on league leaders Manchester United. (ANI)
