Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is delighted with the form of David Luiz.

AVB believes he has demonstrated a quick adaptation to life in England, and has been harshly treated for a couple of high-profile errors.

"I think he's played fantastically since the start," Villas-Boas told chelseafc.com. "You have to agree that there are misconceptions created from the start, since the player's arrival.

"Sometimes a player has to carry that stamp for the rest of his life. Just maybe, you got that impression with David. He's going to be one of the greatest central defenders in the world. Because of his characteristics: technical ability, anticipation and speed.

"There is a nature in a Premier League game that you have to adapt to - it's culturally different to other countries."
