LUIZ
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte insists he has every confidence
in David Luiz after confirming the Brazilian will start against Liverpool on
Friday night.
Luiz, the shock £34million deadline-day signing from Paris
Saint-Germain, will replace injured skipper John Terry at Stamford Bridge.
It will be the first appearance of Luiz's second spell at
the club, with his first stint as memorable for his erratic displays as his
brilliant ones.
After completing the signing Conte vowed to work on the
29-year-old's weaknesses, so Liverpool will be the first team to test the
supposedly new and improved Luiz.
'David Luiz will play for the first time with us and we are
confident about this,' said the Italian.
'We expect him to play very well, with great attention. We
know David is a good player and we are working to put him in the best condition
to give us the best of him.
'When new players arrive they need time to adapt to a new
concept of football. Tomorrow we need to play David Luiz.
'He has worked a lot on defensive situations. I'm confident
for him. He's a good player and during the training sessions I have been seeing
good things.'
Conte confirmed Terry would be available 10 days after his
ankle ligament injury was initially diagnosed on Tuesday.
