Liverpool's Lucas believes that he can make his mark on the club if he can find the confidence to be able to play well consistently in the Premier League.
Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has stated that he just needs confidence in order to play well for The Reds, and the recent criticism he has received has not helped his cause.
The former Brazilian Under-20 captain has recently been criticised for his lack of contribution to Liverpool's title challenge, and despite receiving support from his manager, he has admitted that his game does suffer when he is lacking in confidence.
He is potentially a big player for Liverpool and is hoping to become a major part of the team in years to come.
Speaking to The Daily Star, Lucas claimed that, "all players need confidence. If you have that it can help you play better.
"Maybe you will try a pass that you may not normally do. If you miss, you try again. You have to try to make something different happen.
"But if you don't have confidence everything becomes more difficult for you as a player.
"I've had more time to go forward this year. Rafa says it's up to me to get forward to make more chances and that is what I am trying to do for the club."
Lucas has made a total of 25 Premier League appearances for Liverpool since his £6 million move from Brazilian Serie A side Gremio, but has failed to score in any of those games.
