Redknapp impressed with Brazilian centre-back

Chelsea’s new found defensive form is down to the quality of David Luiz at centre-back in their new formation, according to Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp.

Luiz has played in the middle of Chelsea’s defensive trio during this run, most recently their 2-0 win at Southampton on Sunday, and Jamie Redknapp admitted the Brazilian has transformed under Conte.

“There is a hunger about this Chelsea team,” said Redknapp. “The manager has brought that in and the players are buying into it.

“Every single player on that pitch is working hard and there’s a desire about them again. Conte has got them so well drilled. Everybody knows their job when they have the ball and it suits them defensively as well.

“Luiz looks – I’m scared to say it – like a serious defender. You’ve got him buying into it as well, and that was a problem for Chelsea for many years. But when he’s like that, he looks the real deal.”
