’s defeat to

. He said: “The club can play like a team coached by

when they can afford him.”

City won 3-0 against Marseille in Velodrome on Thursday, while Marseille played quite defensively.

Villas-Boas set up his team with three defenders and noticed that Marseille cannot afford the level of investment that has been seen at City.

"Look, when I tried something different against a team of this level against

, we lost 4-0 and you massacred me. I think all the choices I make now are bad," said Villas-Boas.

"You talk about systems, high blocks, low blocks … but still, you shouldn't overdo it.

"City is City. They spent a billion in five years. It's a team that plays very well, which has a coach who is a phenomenon, who always plays with possession of the ball with Bayern ,

, and now City.

"Unfortunately, Marseille doesn't have the money to bring Guardiola here. If you have Guardiola here one day, you can have a team which will have precisely that.

"But hey, unfortunately you have AVB with his tactics. He tries to do the best he can for the team."

Marseille have lost their sixth games in

for the fifth time.

Villas Boas explains about his decision to Telefoot: “ The teams playing against City are at five in midfield to occupy the spaces well. That was the norm for their last 10 opponents.

"We wanted to play balls in behind them. Unfortunately, they were offered the first goal when we needed to get out of the press.

"We had a better second half. We made the changes but we conceded the second goal. So fatigue plus the goal broke morale.”
