Chelsea defender David Luiz: Matches and training - I wear same boots

Chelsea defender David Luiz admits he never changes his boots.

While many in the Premier League like to change boots whenever they can, Luiz is the complete opposite.

He explained to chelseafc.com: "I always use the same boot until I have to change it.

"I like to use the same boots I train with to play games."

Of his daily regime at Cobham, Luiz continued: "Normally I get here at 8.30 or 9 every day for training at 10.30. I have breakfast, I eat well. I always have the same thing: omelettes, some avocados, some cereals and water.

"Training doesn't just start on the pitch. Every player has some work to do, normally in different parts of the body. Normally I work more on my legs, also to get strong.

"When I have time and it's not the days after a game I can work a bit more on the muscles. I like to work on this also for my balance. I work on different contraptions in the gym and then always with the physios to stretch and things like that to make my body ready for training."
