The Chelsea Brazilian footballer believes his coach saved his career and now speaks on the values the Italian manager has
For Chelsea center-back David Luiz, life under manager Maurizio Sarri has been a blessing.
The Brazilian had some problems with the last Blues’ manager Antonio Conte, even deciding to leave the team.
But in the end, he stayed and now he spoke to BT Sport on television about how well Sarri manages things at the club.
“I think it is about training every day. In the first week I talked to him and said to him that I’m going to work harder to show I want to get into his team and play his philosophy,” he said as quoted by Football London.
“His philosophy is great. It is to press all the time, to play with the ball, possession, without being scared, with happiness, and in the end being concentrated for 90 minutes. That is important. I’m trying to do my best every single match.”
David Luiz: “It was a great game. Both sides played really, really well, two great coaches and teams, many fantastic players. It was great for those people watching.” https://t.co/kWUfJEGdeM

“I was a champion with Conte and was in the best XI so I cannot say this way. Conte was a bit more defensive, Sarri is more offensive. I try to adapt. I was playing in a back three in the middle and now I’m playing in a back four. You have to adapt in every match,” he added.
“Sarri is a great human also,” he commented.
“His philosophy, he wants that. He wants us to take pleasure in the football. You have a privilege to have one of the best jobs in the world. He says this to us every day.”
