David Luiz believes Chelsea must remain focused in the Europa League if they are to win the competition, the defender revealed to the club’s official website.
The Blues progressed to the quarter final of the Europa League following a comfortable 8-0 aggregate victory over Dynamo Kiev in the last 16.
And Luiz believes he and his teammates must avoid complacency when they face Slavia Prague in the next round, and throughout the rest of the competition in order to lift the trophy at the end of the season.
To understand we have to be ready for every single moment. Bad moments can arrive, emotional moments can arrive, hard moments can arrive, and we have to be ready for that. To win a tournament is not just flowers.
The defender won both the Champions League and the Europa League with Chelsea, and believes anything can happen in the latter stages of a European competition.
I have learned a lot in my career, and football is nice because there is always something new, and you also have to be ready for that.
The Blues will face either Benfica or Eintracht Frankfurt should they progress to the semi final.
