David Luiz has revealed his love for Sarri-ball and Maurizio Sarri's way of playing football at Chelsea this season.
Having fallen out of favour under Antonio Conte in the last campaign the Brazilian has become one of the most important members of Sarri's team at Stamford Bridge this season in the heart of the defence.
Out of everyone at the club he seems to have bought into the philosophy the most since Sarri replaced Conte in the summer and applied a dominating brand of football at the Bridge.

It has come in for criticism at times from fans and pundits alike, but David Luiz holds the opinion that Sarri-ball is the way to play football and has even admitted he 'loves' it.
David Luiz told Sky Sports: “It’s his philosophy to have a lot of possession and create a lot of opportunities and he is trying to do that.
“I think he already did amazing because in the past everybody was saying ‘ah Chelsea don’t control the game, Chelsea don’t play with a lot of the ball, Chelsea just play counter-attacks’ and everybody was critical of Chelsea.
“Now we control the games and sometimes they criticise us because we are not winning the game with a lot of possession.
“I think his philosophy is amazing, he’s trying to play football, it needs time and we are trying to improve as soon as possible.
“I love it, it’s the way I think football is, the way I love football, the way I enjoy football, not just playing but watching, and I think I love his philosophy.”
