Conte delighted with Luiz form
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte believes defender David Luiz has proven his doubters wrong with a series of strong performances in recent weeks, but warned him not to get complacent.

Luiz return to the Blues from Paris Saint-Germain at the start of the season and while his skill on the ball has never come into question, but some felt he was not the strongest defensively.

However, he has established himself in the center of a revitalised Chelsea defence and Conte couldn't happier for the Brazil international.

"He is showing his real value. I'm pleased with his performances," the Italian manager told Sky Sports.

"It's important for him, for Chelsea and for me. I like to repeat (to) all my players – you need a lot of time to be something important and you can have only one minute to disrupt all this.

"It's important to continue this way with great concentration, with great focus in every game.

"When you are a central defender and you play in the middle you must pay great attention, because you have to play football with great intelligence to understand the moment to be aggressive and to cover the others."
