David Luiz believes that Chelsea's season will be a "s***" one if they do not
win the Premier League.
Wednesday night's 3-1 loss to Atletico Madrid saw Jose Mourinho's
side crash out of the Champions League at the semi-final stage,
with earlier exits in the FA Cup and Capital One Cup leaving just
the league title to claim.
Chelsea are outsiders to win a fifth top-flight crown following
recent losses to Sunderland and Crystal Palace but Luiz feels that
a trophy is a must if the season is not to be deemed a
failure.
"We are a big club and we want to win trophies. We keep fighting in
the league. We cannot win automatically. It will be
difficult.
"We have many fantastic players and everyone wants to win trophies.
It is normal when you sit at home and watch television to see
Chelsea fighting for trophies.
"We need to be men and it is not always possible to win. The season
we won [the Champions League] was a s*** season until the end
and then we won two titles at the end."
Fernando Torres gave Chelsea the lead on Wednesday night before
goals from Adrian Lopez, Diego Costa and Arda Turan saw the Primera
Division leaders progress to the final.
Captain John Terry was seen in tears at the final whistle, an
expression of emotion that Luiz admires as it shows a player's
"personality" and "fight".
He continued: "Everyone is crying. Nobody likes to lose a Champions
League semi-final - not just John.
"We have to remember we are lucky people who have the best job in
the world. We have to respect that people at home do not have the
same life as us.
"The most important thing is the personalities for me. We need to
fight in many situations. This is sport, this is football. Everyone
speaks about results but, in the end, you need to remember everyone
here is human. Everyone gave their best all season. Everyone can
make mistakes – that is normal - but you cannot hide yourself from
any situations.
"I do my job every day. I gave everything. If there were
many s*** games, when you didn't run, then fine but we gave
our best in many, many games but sometimes it's possible to win,
sometimes not."
