Luiz admits almost coming to blows with Chelsea legend Drogba

Chelsea defender David Luiz admits he once almost came to blows with former teammate Didier Drogba.

The Brazilian admits he's had slanging matches with John Terry and Frank Lampard - and almost came to blows with Drogba.

Luiz said: "I knew the responsibility of wearing the Chelsea shirt, but I kept it in my mind I would never be intimidated by the big names.

"Didier and I almost had a fight when he got angry after I challenged him during training.

"But having an argument is a good thing for the team and the players have to feel comfortable with that."
