Douglas Luiz has hit back at criticism he has faced after a nightmare first year at Juventus.
Luiz, 26, moved to the Italian giants last summer, joining from Aston Villa for £42.4 million having emerged as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.
However, the Brazilian - whose partner Alisha Lehmann joined Juventus' Women's team at the same time - has endured a disastrous campaign, playing just 23 times in all competitions.
Luiz has made three starts in Serie A and his progress has been hampered by a string of niggling injuries, which has seen him labelled as a Juventus flop.
