EPL: David Luiz calls Chelsea season s*** without silverware
Jose Mourinho's side crashed out of
the Champions League at the semi-
final stage on Wednesday night to
leave the Premier League as their only
hope for silverware this term
David Luiz believes that Chelsea's season
will be a "s***" one if they do not win the
Premier League .
Wednesday night's 3-1 loss to Atletico
Madrid saw Jose Mourinho's side crash out
of the Champions League at the semi-final
stage, with earlier exits in the FA Cup and
Capital One Cup leaving just the league title
to claim.
Chelsea are outsiders to win a fifth top-flight
crown following recent losses to Sunderland
and Crystal Palace but Luiz feels that a
trophy is a must if the season is not to be
deemed a failure.
"You can say it is a s*** season if you don't
have trophies in a season at a big club. That
is true," Luiz told reporters.
"We are a big club and we want to win
trophies. We keep fighting in the league. We
cannot win automatically. It will be difficult.
"We have many fantastic players and
everyone wants to win trophies. It is normal
when you sit at home and watch television to
see Chelsea fighting for trophies.
"We need to be men and it is not always
possible to win. The season we won [the
Champions League] was a s*** season until
the end and then we won two titles at the
end."
Fernando Torres gave Chelsea the lead on
Wednesday night before goals from Adrian
Lopez, Diego Costa and Arda Turan saw the
Primera Division leaders progress to the
final.
Captain John Terry was seen in tears at the
final whistle, an expression of emotion that
Luiz admires as it shows a player's
"personality" and "fight".
He continued: "Everyone is crying. Nobody
likes to lose a Champions League semi-final
- not just John.
"We have to remember we are lucky people
who have the best job in the world. We have
to respect that people at home do not have
the same life as us.
"The most important thing is the
personalities for me. We need to fight in
many situations. This is sport, this is
football. Everyone speaks about results but,
in the end, you need to remember everyone
here is human. Everyone gave their best all
season. Everyone can make mistakes – that
is normal - but you cannot hide yourself from
any situations.
"I do my job every day. I gave everything. If
there were many s*** games, when you
didn't run, then fine but we gave our best in
many, many games but sometimes it's
possible to win, sometimes not."
