After Chelsea captain John Terry sustaining a late injury few minutes to the end of the match against Swansea City, which ended 2-2, it has been confirmed by the Blues boss Antonio Conte David Luiz will start as he makes he prepares to make his second debut returning to Stamford Bridge this season.
David Luiz who left Chelsea two seasons ago for a World record fee for a defender £50m, returns at the deadline transfer day after Chelsea sees many attempts to sign Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly and other options failed. Luiz returns for fee of £32m, a late transfer seen and considered by many as a surprise.
The curly hair Brazilian has come under heavy criticism for his rash mistakes and decisions making in the heart of defense. He has featured three times for PSG this season before making the move to Chelsea, and has given away one penalty. And one person who has come open to criticize the player is Chelsea Legend 'Ray Wilkins', who has admitted the defender isn't a defender but a midfielder, because of the rash decisions he makes at the back.
Speaking to SkySport, he has hyperbolically describe the Brazilian as Santa Claus ;
'We are coming up to Christmas and he loves giving presents away. He is a penalty just waiting to happen, especially as a central defender,’
Don't get me wrong, he is a very talented footballer but he is not a centre-half as far as I'm concerned.
'He is a holding midfield player or a midfield player. He just makes very, very rash decisions and poor decisions as a centre-half. I don't understand why they brought him back into the fold.' "Ray Wilkins said."
