Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has said he may have to fight for a first team place due to the number of central midfielders at the club. He told Liverpoolfc.tv:
“We have a lot of midfielders at the club at the moment. It’s always important to strengthen the squad and what do I think? I think I will have to fight again for my place. It’s been like this all my years here and this season is going to be the same. In football you have to prove yourself every single day. In training you have to improve as a player. Of course I got the award last season but this season is a new challenge. There is more responsibility on me in the team. Hopefully I will cope well and have a great season.”
The Brazilian returned to action in Liverpool’s last pre-season friendly versus Valencia and is expected to start against Sunderland on Saturday.
This week it is former Women’s Tennis World Number One and LFC Fan Caroline Wozniacki!!
