Paris Saint-Germain Head Coach Laurent Blanc has defended David Luiz.

The Brazil international was signed from Chelsea for £50 million in June, but has received criticism after some mixed performances.

“He needs time,” said Blanc, as reported by Tutto Mercato Web. “He is back from a disappointment at the World Cup.

He did not have, unlike other elements of the squad, the time to adequately prepare and has continued to play without interruption. 

It would have been better to have more time to adjust to the team, but it was not possible due to Thiago Silva’s injury. 

He is a great defender and will become crucial for the team.”
