Neville has repeatedly highlighted flaws in Chelsea's back-four in his role as a television pundit and newspaper columnist and Villas-Boas snapped when asked about the ex-England star's forthright views.

Villas-Boas was particularly frustrated that Neville had described Chelsea centre-back David Luiz as playing "like he was controlled by a 10-year-old on Playstation".
"He is one of the best central defenders in the world, a player of tremendous aspirations and talent," Villas-Boas said. "You cannot say he is being controlled by a kid in the stands. That's ridiculous. He plays for the country (Brazil) with the most world titles. So be careful what you are saying.
"When he (Neville) takes this ridiculous route I have to defend. And I'd say it to his face with much pleasure."
