Ancelotti on Luiz.

Carlo Ancelotti gave his pre match press conference today and spoke of new signing David Luiz. Carlo said:

He will start on Monday, David Luiz is a very good defender because he has the ability and skills to play in all the positions in the back four; centre-back, left-back - he has never played right-back but he has the quality to.

He is Brazilian so obviously has very good technique and he can help us to build our play better from the back.

I think he will be one of the best defenders in the world in the future. He is young but has fantastic experience - he played for Benfica and in the Champions League.

We are upset because he cannot play in the Champions League for us but he can show his quality in the Premier League and FA Cup.

With David Luiz, we can have more rotation and maintain freshness in the other defenders. Now we have a lot of opportunity to choose players, give someone a rest and keep every defender fit for the rest of the season.

When a good player with a lot of skill improves the squad, everyone is happy. In the top teams there is competition to play. This is normal and a good motivation for everyone."

I think you all have to agree, Luiz was the highlight for Chelsea in our defeat to Liverpool. He made a great impression and I am sure with the start on Monday he will prove to be one of the best signings the club has made in recent times.
