Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri motivates squad by telling them they have 'best job in the world' every day, reveals David Luiz

The Brazil star was full of praise for "fantastic person" Sarri after he instilled a far more positive attitude in the squad than under Antonio Conte.

Luiz started just nine Premier League games last season after a rumoured row with the former Blues chief.

But the feel-good mood is back at Stamford Bridge, with Luiz saying: "Sarri is giving us a lot of happiness to play football. We are trying to enjoy.

"He gives us a lot of confidence. He shows us what he wants. He gives us the details about the game.

"He works hard in every situation. And also as a human he’s a fantastic person.

"Every single day he says to us, 'you have the best job in the world, so you have to enjoy.'

"[He says] ‘You have to try to do this with a big smile. Many people in the world don’t have this privilege.'"

Luiz started Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Liverpool yesterday – partnering Antonio Rudiger in the heart of defence.

The Blues looked set to steal all three points thanks to Eden Hazard's first-half strike, only for a last-gasp stunner from Daniel Sturridge to ruin their day.
