Despite the fact that David Louis left England with six titles, he was often targeted by sports commentators for his style of play. Jamie Carragher has been one of the main critics of the Brazilian center-back.
“It’s funny to hear some people talk about what it takes to win the Premier League when they were never champions. Jamie Carragher has never won the Premier League. He says that I am not a player in this championship, but I was a champion. People tend to forget the past, “David Luiz said in August, shortly after breaking off relations with Arsenal.
Carragher’s reply was delayed, but it came. Speaking to the BBC podcast, the former Liverpool defender suggested that David Luis’ criticism was never personal and was indifferent to the reaction of the former Benfica player now playing for Flamengo.
“David Luis attacked me, accusing me of never winning the championship. It is true that I have no doubt criticized him. But there was never anything personal about it. He is right when he says that I have never been a champion, and if this is his revenge, it’s okay. “
“We have a completely different style of play and I didn’t like his style. That’s why I criticized him. But I have no problem with him just because he decided to attack me. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that the older you get, the less you care what others think of you. Of course, no one likes to be criticized, but when you get older, you think: “I want to know,” the Englishman concluded.
David Luiz has won four titles (Champions League, Europa League, Premier League and FA Cup) with a Chelsea shirt and two (Super Cup and FA Cup) with Arsenal.
Jamie Carragher, who retired in 2013 after a long career in Liverpool, never won the Premier League (the best he could do was run second in 2002 and 2009), but he built the Champions League, the Europa League and two Super Bowls. club Anfield.
