No less than Sturridge, Luiz proves that there can be a second act in a Premier League life. More than that, in fact: The Brazilian is, at this stage, in his fourth or fifth incarnation as a Chelsea player. No player, though, embodies the character of the modern Chelsea better than Luiz; no player quite encapsulates the baffling volatility of the Premier League’s most enduring 21st-century superpower quite as he does. He is, in the ebbs and flows of his time at Stamford Bridge, the perfect avatar for his team. Everyone has an opinion on David Luiz.
