Celtic fans should immediately warm to Erik Sviatchenko.
The club’s new signing opened up about his defensive philosophies at his official unveiling by the club.
Sviatchenko apparently had offers from England, Italy and France but decided to sign up with Ronny Deila’s side from Danish outfit FCÂ Midtjylland.
The defender likened himself to Chelsea and England rock John Terry and remarked that he will not be sashaying out of defence too often.
Sviatchenko said, “I talked to my mental coach, I said to him I like David Luiz but I also like John Terry and he said to me, ‘Okay, but you have to be Sviatchenko.’
“I said of course I have to be Sviatchenko but I thought maybe I should be a defender that’s why I’m in the defence.
“So I said maybe I should be more like Terry because I saw David Luiz at the World Cup and he was terrible. So I find out that it’s better to be a good defender than a dribbling guy that cannot defend.”
A dribbling guy who can’t defend…
Don’t tell Luiz, or PSG.
