Luiz says he did not criticize Lampard

Chelsea defender David Luiz has denied criticizing senior teammate Frank Lampard during his comments he made to the Portuguese press.

A Portuguese daily newspaper quoted Luiz,as saying: “No one has to be someone’s father or son in a football club.” “There are no privileged people there. He simply has to listen to the coach when he gives orders and take them. No player can forget that they are just an employee of the club,” he said.

Luiz insists that his comments were misinterpreted and he didn’t say those things for Lampard but in general for all the players and coaches. “This is media,” Luiz Tweeted. “Frank knows me and I never said that about him! I said generally. I only talked about coaches and players in general. Always CFC,” he said.
