Man Utd legend Gary Neville revealed that he was shocked to learn that Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has decided to bring back David Luiz to West London.
However, the Sky Sports pundit admits that Conte has done a brilliant job with the Brazilian and has simplified his game.
"The one thing that surprised me and shocked me was the signing of Luiz," he said on Sky Sports.
"I did not think for one minute he would be a Conte-type player.
"I think of those three centre-backs he had of Chiellini, Buzagli and Bonucci with Juventus and Italy. They were hard, solid brilliant defenders. You can't get through them.
"The way he's got Luiz playing, I think he's simplified his game a lot more.
"He's got the two lads in front being protective and he's got Luiz behind doing what Luiz does best, he can be a commanding personality.
"Big credit to him, he's done a brilliant job."
