Luiz sings Sarri's praises after rumoured Conte rift

David Luiz is embracing the “great style” of Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea after enduring a testing time towards the end of Antonio Conte’s reign.

Injury issues prevented the Brazilian from making the desired impact in 2017-18, but he was also reported to have endured a strained relationship with the man in charge at Stamford Bridge.

A change in the dugout this summer has offered a clean slate to all concerned, with Luiz back in favour and determined to prove his worth.

He believes exciting times lie ahead under Sarri, with the Italian favouring a more adventurous approach to his predecessor and fellow countryman.
