Chelsea defender David Luiz has again sung the praises of manager Maurizio Sarri.

Luiz says the club must stand by the Italian.

“It's his philosophy to have a lot of possession and create a lot of opportunities and he is trying to do that," he told Sky Sports.

“I think he already did amazing because in the past everybody was saying 'ah Chelsea don't control the game, Chelsea don't play with a lot of the ball, Chelsea just play counter-attacks' and everybody was critical of Chelsea.

“Now we control the games and sometimes they criticise us because we are not winning the game with a lot of possession.

“I think his philosophy is amazing, he's trying to play football, it needs time and we are trying to improve as soon as possible.

“I love it, it's the way I think football is, the way I love football, the way I enjoy football, not just playing but watching, and I think I love his philosophy."
