S2 Ep5: Lucas Leiva

Liverpool FC
About this episode
Lucas Leiva is the fifth guest of our second series, joining Peter McDowall and Jan Molby to relive the 10 eventful years he spent on Merseyside.
From the help of Rafael Benitez during his early days adjusting to life at a new club in a new country, to being a ‘nightmare’ for Jurgen Klopp towards the latter part of his time in a red shirt, the Brazilian talks us through the ups and downs of his Liverpool career playing for five different managers.
There are also insights into his early retirement from the game and what life has been like since hanging up his boots.
