Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva: "I feel myself again"

Lucas Leiva says that he feels like himself again after returning to the first team under Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers.

Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva believes that his turnaround in form is down to the fact that he is enjoying his football again.

The Brazilian endured a spell out of Brendan Rodgers's team, but has become a vital member of the first XI since his return to action in November.

Since his inclusion for Liverpool's 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League at the Bernabeu, Lucas has featured 17 times for the Reds.

"As I've said before in a few interviews I've given, I feel myself again and I feel really sharp, really strong and go into games thinking I have got nothing to lose," Lucas told the club's official website.

"I just enjoy them because in football you never know what is going to happen. We always know that after a bad or difficult moment always comes a good moment and vice versa.

"I just have to enjoy my football and really concentrate on keeping at the level of performance I'm playing at the moment. I think if I do that, I can be in the team and help."

Liverpool have lost just one game when Lucas has been playing.
