Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas expects from Emmanuel Adebayor to play a crucial role in the second leg against Basle tonight in the Europa League. The first meeting of the "White Hart Lane" ended 2:2.

"Adebayor has started to score again in our last match and showed what an impact he can have on the team," said Villas-Boas. "He really enjoys the game. He carries on the wings of his last hits and presentation in recent meetings, and is doing very well. That gives him confidence, and I've always thought that this is the basis of everything for the players. "

Villas-Boas continued with praise in the address of the striker: "He improved a lot and his sophistication. Now he is much more tied to the creation of the attacks, have assists, allows others around him to show up. He helped and to Aaron Lennon and Gareth Bale to improve their game. "

The Portuguese specialist said he believed the fact that Tottenham is a guest of Basel in the second leg, will not be crucial if it is played ambitious.
