David Luiz on Jose Mourinho: 'He is special for you, not for me'

The former Chelsea defender swapped London for Paris St-Germain last summer and the teams meet again at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

DAVID LUIZ HAS stoked up the tension surrounding Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League last 16 second-leg clash with Chelsea by claiming Jose Mourinho “is not special”.

PSG travel to Stamford Bridge with the tie level at 1-1 following the first leg at the Parc des Princes last month but Chelsea hold a slight advantage courtesy of their away goal in the French capital. Luiz left Chelsea for PSG in a €50 million move last June after one frustrating season under the stewardship of Mourinho, who has long been referred to as “the Special One”.

But Luiz told a L’Equipe journalist: “He is special for you, not for me.”

“I had some great moments at Chelsea and won a lot of titles. I was very happy. “They are having a great season, defend well and have great players but above all I know my team. We will try to score there and play like we know how.”

“We will have a good game plan and implement it the best way possible to achieve a great performance. Both can still qualify.”

    Good man Luiz, PSG forking out all that money for him meant Chelsea broke even in the transfer market and built an epic team at the same time. Genius Mourinho

    Here’s hoping the boul David has the last laugh. Remember reading something about charity work he does a few years ago. Seems a decent sort. Can’t defend mind you but give me anybody but Chelsea and Mourinho and funnily enough for myself that includes Man U.
