David Luiz: Villas-Boas will bring fresh attacking style to Chelsea

Chelsea defender David Luiz is expecting thrilling football under new gaffer Andre Villas-Boas.

Luiz, who joined Chelsea last ­season from Benfica and is one of the most exciting ­defenders in the world, has been asking Portuguese pals what he can expect from the new coach when he gets back.

He told the People: "I have spoken to my friends back in Portugal and I hear the same thing from ­everyone.

"They all say how Andre is very hands-on with the ­players and he gets his point across from day one.

"That is very positive at a club that dreams of titles. I've not worked with Mourinho, but my friends say Villas-Boas is more attack-minded.

"Perhaps that signifies a change in system for Chelsea in the new season."
