David Luiz: Conte sees things other coaches don't see

David Luiz coming back to Chelsea was one of the last summer's controversial signings. It takes big balls for someone to pay £30m for David Luiz, considering his unpredictable nature of his defending back then for PSG and Brazil. One man who had the balls was Antonio Conte, whom the Brazilian rates so high as a coach.

Luiz praised the meticulous nature of Chelsea Boss Antonio Conte in his latest interview with fourfourtwo.com: “He’s extremely meticulous,” Luiz reveals in the June 2017 issue of FourFourTwo. “There isn’t a tiny detail he isn’t aware of. He’s the type of guy who sees things most people wouldn’t. In training he creates situations that he thinks could occur during the upcoming games – and it makes all the difference. He also knows how to motivate us and gives confidence to the whole squad. We all know that he trusts in our ability and one of his best qualities is that he treats everyone equally.”

David Luiz also talked about returning to Chelsea last summer: “You can’t predict these things, but I always left the door open for a possible return,” he says. “There are moments in your career when you feel like a cycle has come to an end – and that’s what I thought when I left the club three years ago.


“I had already won several titles with Chelsea, played my part in a beautiful period in the club’s history and made so many friends. I thought it was time to move on, so I had no regrets. But things change quickly in football.
“Winning the Premier League has always been an obsession of mine. This is one of the toughest competitions in the world. We’ve worked hard to make this dream come true.”
