PREMIER LEAGUE PRESSURE??,YOU HAVING A LAUGH?? ~ DAVID LUIZ Chelsea defender David Luiz has played down Jose Mourinhos comments about Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger,claiming it is just part of football. Chelsea manager Mourinho&Arsenal boss Wenger have recently traded words -Wenger said he was embarrassed for Mourinho,who had claimed that the Frenchman was a specialist in failure. Luiz told Sky Sports News: Football is like this,you cannot listen to everyone because if you listen to another coach,you dont just have just 1 coach,you will have 10,20,100 coaches. Everyone wants to be part of our club&thats natural. The Brazilian is also aware of the pressure on the players with 12 games to go&welcomes it,even if Mourinhos comments were designed to take the attention off them. He said: I love pressure,you dont need to take pressure of me because I love pressure&thats why I play for a big club - thats why I am here. We are not afraid,we are top of the league now,we are happy with this. We keep working hard everyday. Ofcourse I respect everyone,every team,but we need to do our job. Speaking at an event to promote a fusion of of football,photography&art, Luiz also said he believes Chelsea team-mate Eden Hazard can become the best player in the world. WORLD CUP Meanwhile,Luiz admits he cannot wait for this summers World Cup finals in his homeland. If you want to win the World Cup,you need to win in all different circumstances,it is a dream come true to go to a World Cup, he said. He also insists that England are not complete outsides for the finals. The English should believe more,they have a great generation with the mix of young&experienced players, he said. Sometimes the English say its OK to make a quarter-final or semi-final but come on,you have to believe you can do more. You have players like Jack Wilshere who is great&can make history for his country. I always believe you can achieve anything in life&thats what you should do. If not you can never grow. He also has little doubt that his Chelsea team-mates Frank Lampard&Ashley Cole should make the trip. Frank Lampard&Ashley Cole are both fantastic players&deserve to get there, he said. Ashley didnt play so much this season but he works hard everyday&its the same for Frank. We talk about the World Cup,ofcourse. Everyone is excited. We encourage each other. Its a great opportunity for our generation,not just for Brazilian players but for everyone else as well.
