Chelsea star David Luiz has once more gone out of his way to hit back at stinging criticism from former-England international Gary Neville.

David Luiz, 24, was described as playing as if 'controlled by a 10 year old in the crowd with a Playstation controller' by the Sky Sports pundit.

Unsurprinsingly, Luiz disagrees:

"I know Gary Neville in the past was a very good player. but he sometimes needs respect.

"Gary Neville say bad, other people say good. I just need to show with my work on the pitch. I respond like this.

"When Gary Neville say this, (he) don't respect me. Now that the stats show I am up there among the best.

"I just know that in all the games that I am on the pitch, I just try to show my best ... I work a lot, tackle, I give my heart on the pitch."
