Liverpool Star Getting Back to his Best

Lucas Leiva rarely used to miss a game for Liverpool not so long ago, but since he got injured in the Carling Cup game against Chelsea two seasons back, the midfielder did not only become injury prone but also lost his top form for the merseysiders.
He was arguably one of the best central defensive midfielders in the league but his form has dropped mainly because of spending time on the treatment table. However, the Brazilian believes he is getting back to his best and will come stronger next season.
Last season, Lucas got injured in the opening days of the campaign and after returning his inconsistency was one of the main reasons why Liverpool’s defense was not rock solid.
Now the midfielder claims that he is glad with a positive start to the pre-season and the progress is helping him to prepare well for the next season.
The Brazilian claims:

“I’m feeling 50-60% better than I was last season,”
“The last six months I played were really important for me. I needed to get games and sessions, and this season now I’m feeling strong and feeling that I’m in the shape I was before the injury”
“Now I’ve got to improve the fitness and build confidence, but I’m really happy with the way pre-season has started.”

Two seasons ago Liverpool star was voted the best player of the club and he is still one of the most significant players in the side. In the past two years, the Brazilian has only featured in 38 league games for the Reds.
For Liverpool to get top 4 next season, it is vital that Lucas Leiva is in top form.
