PAFOS FC: Who are beginners in the Champions League with David Luiz alongside them?

This summer, Pafos succeeded in the surprise signature of defender Luiz, who, at the age of 38, had played for Fortaleza in Brazil, after having initially left Arsenal for Flamengo in 2021.

“He came here not only to play but develop the Pafos image, so that they become an even larger football attraction as a football destination,” said Odysseos. “It is a movement of public relations, mainly. Everyone welcomed it.

“We are a country that has a million people, so when you have a big star, a legend, to come here, and you see him playing, you will say” Wow, he is here “.”

High has so far made two substitute appearances in the Cypriot high flight.

He is currently involved in legal proceedings in Brazil following allegations that he threatened a woman.

Luiz published a video on social networks saying that he had exchanged messages with women, but denied having threatened anyone.

His management team said that the case was under “judicial confidentiality” and that their recently published video would be their only public statement on the issue.

The defender won the Champions League in 2012 with Chelsea, who will face Pafos during his seventh League phase game in January.

“I’m going to play against Chelsea with my heart completely full of energy,” he said. “Also to say thank you for everyone. But also to give the best of my best in the field because everyone wants to see this.

“So it’s going to be a time when I’m going to be so happy and the game will be difficult for us, that’s for sure. Sometimes, in life, you just have to say thank you and enjoy it.

“No one expected many things for us in the Champions League, but I think we can do something special.”

“It will be a great opportunity for us to show our qualities for the world.”
