Chelsea boss AVB delighted with Oriol Romeu in Genk win

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas was pleased with Oriol Romeu's performance in victory over RacingGenk.

The midfielder impressed in the Champions League romp.

"What you see from Oriol is the way he was educated through the Barcelona school which is the best education possible at the moment," explained Villas-Boas.

"He puts his individual talent to the team's objectives and it shows in the fluency in that position, but both Raul Meireles and John Mikel Obi have also been doing it fantastically well this season.

"Oriol assumes body positions different from others, who are facing the opponents' goal. Oriol faces our goal because he wants to receive the ball from the keeper and the central defenders and from then on he organises the game. This is the way he was educated and we benefit from his talent."
