a couple of seasons ago this will not be the case as lucas has been a target by his critics. what ever goes wrong to liverpool fc in terms of result on the field it will surely be associated to lucas leiva. he never got the instant recognition from the fans like fernando torres or luis suarez.
from the very first time i saw him play against everton (where he came in replacing captain steven gerrard) i knew lucas will be a 'big' player for liverpool fc one day. he was still young then, but already a sought after player in europe and captain for brazil's u-21 team.
it wasn't easy though with the likes of steven gerrard, xabi alonso, macherano on the ranks which he has to compete with. and when alonso left liverpool everyone expects him to produce the magic that alonso usually does week in week out.
lucas is a different player if compared to xabi alonso. alonso is already a finished material while lucas is still learning.
he has proven that he could be an asset to liverpool fc with his hard work and determination on every game. even the fans are appreciating him more now. the fans can see his heart is for liverpool football club. and the club is repaying his hard work and loyalty by giving him a new contract.
wishing lucas leiva all the best and hope he'll grow with liverpool football club by winning medals and trophies.
