Douglas Luiz, a standout for Aston Villa, is seen as one of the answers for Brazil’s midfield as he had a press conference today at the national team camp.
Since he has been establishing himself in the Premier League for some time, his fellow countrymen journalists have been asking him a lot of questions about what he can provide to the team.
Douglas Luiz clarified in statements from UOL that Unai Emery’s arrival at Aston Villa was a major factor in his success there.
The midfield player asserted that the “freedom” the management has been allowing him within his plan is the sole reason for his strong offensive statistics this season.
“Since Emery arrived, I feel really at ease. I was a 6 and a 5 under the previous managers, but I play with more freedom with him, which is precisely how I like to play. This season, I’ve tallied 10 goals and 10 assists. I feel more at ease in this configuration. I discussed Dorival’s preferred style of play with him. According to Douglas Luiz, the freedom is excellent for adding goals and assists.
The midfielder for Aston Villa also mentioned playing against some of his teammates at Wembley, saying that even though it’s a friendly, they all want to win.
From my perspective as a player here, the Premier League is an extremely competitive league; not every player can play at Wembley. In five years, I’ve only performed there once. They will desire victory. We’re working hard to comprehend Dorival’s work as soon as possible and use it on the field.
“The game is going to be fantastic, with various times for each team. England is a more developed nation than ours, and we’ll do everything in our power to win this game.
As a player here, I can attest that the Premier League is fiercely competitive and that not every player is able to play at Wembley. I’ve only given one performance there in five years. They’ll want to win. We’re putting a lot of effort into quickly understanding Dorival’s work and applying it in the field.
“The game, with different times for every team, is going to be amazing. We’ll exert every effort to win this game even though England is a more developed country than we are.
