DAVID LUIZ HAS never been afraid to play down his strong Christian beliefs and the Brazilian defender has previously said his faith ‘gives him strength and inspiration to go out and perform and improve as a player’.
Luiz has strong links with a non-profit, evangelical movement in Brazil and has now vowed to abstain from sex until he gets married after being baptised in team-mate Maxwell’s swimming pool.
“I have chosen to wait,” he wrote on Instagram.
