David Luiz on Pablo Aimar

David Luiz remembers the moment he realized why Pablo Aimar from Argentina was a legend. While other Benfica players offered general help when Luiz first arrived, it was Aimar who pulled him into his room for something different. They watched tape together, and Aimar started showing him exactly how to pass from defense to attack, how to create space, and how to hide a pass between lines. Luiz says he never got advice like that before in his career. That year, Aimar's guidance allowed him to improve a lot in his game. The thing that struck Luiz most was the time commitment; he couldn't believe someone had the hours to think about whether he could get better. For Luiz, Aimar wasn't just a teammate, he was the best player he ever played with. There is one more detail that seals it: Aimar is Messi's idol. If he is an idol to Messi, then surely he has to be an idol to Luiz too.
