I need to keep  my concentration levels high, with lots of hard work, and hope to keep  improving as a player.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps surprisingly, Luiz has scored two more goals in his time at Chelsea than fellow January signing Fernando Torres, who remains goalless since his \u00a350m move from Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>But the Brazilian offered encouragement to his clubmate: &#8220;I am a defender  and Torres is an attacker, and we both give our all to help Chelsea, and  try to give our best to the club. We are a family at Chelsea, and we  all work towards the same objectives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Torres is a great player, and he  is working hard for the team, and will return to goals soon, which of  course is what strikers live off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite Luiz\u2019s recent form, the ex-Benfica man is not set to start tomorrow&#8217;s  friendly, with coach Mano Menezes opting for a Lucio\/Thiago Silva  partnership at the centre of the defence.<\/p>\n<p>Luiz even admitted he knew little about Scotland: &#8220;To be honest, I don\u2019t know too much about Scottish football, apart from Charlie Adam, but I do know it will be a tough game for us, as everyone we play gives their maximum.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/3b4e10aebeacon.dll_536.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Read the original here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/03\/26\/2412452\/david-luiz-vows-his-best-is-still-to-come-despite-electric-start-\" title=\"David Luiz vows his best is still to come despite electric start to Chelsea career\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David Luiz vows his best is still to come despite electric start to Chelsea career<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Manuel Carvalho 26 Mar 2011 18:37:00 EPL: David Luiz, Chelsea v Manchester City Related Links Teams Players Chelsea defender David Luiz has promised Blues fans that his electric start to life in England is only a hint of what is still to come from him.
