Play by my rules and respect my authority

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has introduced a zero tolerance regime ahead of his first Premier League match in charge against Stoke City on Sunday.

Villas-Boas has stamped his authority on the club's Cobham training ground and demands his players 'live up to standards'. 

The new Chelsea boss, 33, declared he will not be satisfied unless he brings the Premier League title back to Stamford Bridge in nine months' time.
Villas-Boas also admitted he dreams of doing the Double - just as his predecessor, Carlo Ancelotti, did in his first season in charge.
The tough new measures Villas-Boas has introduced include:

• Players must always eat breakfast and lunch together on training days.

• Muslim players Nicolas Anelka and Salomon Kalou must still sit with their team-mates during meals - even though by observing Ramadan throughout August they must fast during daylight hours.

• Unnecessary noise is banned during training sessions. A gardener was even told to stop trimming the hedges as he was making too much of a racket.

The manager wants his side to train in white - and black adidas kits have been sent back to the manufacturers. 

Villas-Boas said: 'I trust my man-management abilities and I base my decisions on that.
'The season is long, disappointments will come, but players have to live up to standards.
'Pre-season is for establishing your ideas and the players have been responding to that.
'We look for excellence and look to win back the title that escaped us last season. We'll do everything in our power to win it back. 

'There's always a relationship of trust that we've built on from when I was here (as opposition scout under Jose Mourinho), and friendship with a couple of them. I was closer to them (then) than I am now.
'There's a complete relationship of trust, and will always be. The players know exactly where they stand in that position.'
Villas-Boas has not lost a competitive match since February 2, when his Porto side were beaten 2-0 at home in the Portuguese Cup by Benfica.
He won four trophies at Porto last season - a domestic league and Cup double, the Europa League and the Portuguese Super Cup - and joked he 'would retire' if he manages to emulate that success at Chelsea.
Villas-Boas said: 'I wouldn't be satisfied if we don't win the Premier League. If I win all four trophies I'll retire. I thought about it (last season).
'I want to win as many titles as possible. That's the target for me. My players have that kind of ambition.
'We can only dream to emulate what Carlo did in his first year and, hopefully, more.'
The Chelsea boss oversees his first Premier League match at Stoke City's on Sunday, a ground at which his side have never lost.
Villas-Boas's tough new measures will certainly be given a thorough examination by last season's FA Cup finalists, as Chelsea try to show they have regained the stubborn robustness of the Mourinho era, rather than the vulnerability of the side that faltered away at the likes of Wolves and Wigan under Ancelotti.
