CHELSEA - PSG ENGLAND STILL THINK (some) THAT DAVID LUIZ IS A SCAM

In Paris, everyone loves, especially journalists, seized with wonder when a football player deign to speak to them in the mixed zone, in addition with a smile. For a little, we would kiss him recognition feet. His teammates also say only good, and his coach is downright love. "It is nice and accommodating to everyone, this is someone who has a zest for life quite communicative. And professionally, I think it is going up in power. It was taken to give us the defensive strength in major events, it continues like this. "

"Zouma cost ten times less and is ten times better"
So many compliments that would giggle while Buckingham if we were able to translate them in decent English. Because just imagine that in London, David Luiz is primarily a matter of joke. It is even rumored that Jose Mourinho curled apoplexy when he learned that PSG was ready to get rid of for 50 million euros last summer. "A similar sum to replenish the hinge that took 7-1 in the semifinals of the World Cup, it's true that you had good," laughs Andrew, the potbellied quarantine, John Terry jersey on the back . "Especially we bought Zouma to ten times less and that is ten times better." Fan Zouma or not, the former Stéphanois represents to local observers all that is missing in Brazilian defender: serious, vision and tactical discipline.

In England, where Churchill yet everything done to develop canine love of his countrymen in his Rufus strolling around, we never adopted the mad dog style of David Luiz. Certainly, the young man has a tendency sometimes to snort like a spaniel through puberty, oblivious instruction and everything else. "It looks like a PlayStation player controlled by a boy of ten in the crowd" has launched one day Gary Neville, now consultant. Since then, the joke stuck with the Parisian despite its leading role in the conquest of the Champions League in 2012. "Here, we like to make fun of the most expensive defender in the world, writes Barney Ronay in the Guardian. The way he runs with the ball, like a carnival horse crudely disguised. The way he regularly produces a mega-blunder when his brain stops functioning and becomes a defensive calamity. "
"If Mourinho let him go is that it is not crazy"
"If it is a centerpiece of his team, Mourinho will not let him go this summer. He is not crazy, adds Edouard Cissé, consultant for Canal +. He thought about his thing, he saw he could find as well for the balance of his team even though it may be inherently less strong. "In fact, when he does not put on a Cahill to support the unfading John Terry, the Portuguese manager chooses Kurt Zouma, "the new Marcel Desailly," while Matic covers (small) follies of each other in midfield where David Luiz was evolving year by default. Chelsea will he really gained by the change? Barney Ronay is not convinced.

"The majority opinion in England is that the strengths of Chelsea Mourinho -the organization inculcated by the discipline- each roughly equivalent weaknesses of David Luiz. But the reverse is also true. The things David Luiz can do -the generosity, optimism, the desire to attaquer- can highlight some weaknesses of Mourinho. "As the tactical calculation, the natural inclination to do the least possible attack and reprehensible wait in the knockout matches. This is great, that's all it takes to avoid Wednesday.
