Liverpool's much-maligned midfielder Lucas Leiva believes that his good form so far this season shows how much he has improved during his time at Anfield, and he is hopeful that now he has a positive future ahead of him on Merseyside.
The Brazilian also feels that playing alongside some of the game's biggest stars means that he cannot fail to better himself in Rafa Benitez's side.
"I'm in my third season now and I'm playing more games," Lucas is reported by The Sun as saying.
"When you have players like Steven [Gerrard] and Javier Mascherano around, you can always learn and they can also help you."
And Lucas drew a direct comparison between himself and Gerrard, implying that the England star did not arrive in the Liverpool first team as a fully-formed superstar.
He said: "Steven, 10 years ago, started like me. But when you are focused and you work hard you can get a chance."
