It is good to know somebody remembers him
Dear lucasleiva.co.uk
I am a Lucas
fanatic for a long time, I have read about everything about him, every
interview, visited all the blogs dedicated to him, wrote about him in forums
etc.
My only enquiry
from you is to try to find some photos of him in Liverpool, no matter if it is
in the trainings, in the reserves on the bench, on the tribune - whatever, we
have so many pictures and videos of him in Gremio, he
was the superstar,
Any picture,
even when he is on the corner of the picture or turning his back, will be
received with thanks
I myself has a
blog about him and I recycle the same pictures all over again because there is
nothing new
Well it is not
your fault, he is a private person , does not like to show off like Torres, his
only disadvantage is that he is too good, too polite, he will never push
himself - he just trains and suffers quietly the humiliation: the best promise
of Brazil in the last 10 years is playing in the reserves!
The last game in
Porto: He was on the bench,
Gerard was not
himself in this game, so it was only natural that Lucas (called the Brazilian
Gerrard) will enter for him, He could have done something creative in the midfield,
maybe change the direction of this terrible game.
Every week ,
every month that he is not playing make
him worse, he needs all his mental strength not to break down. he just trains
hard and hope, living a deception every week, if even the injury of Alonso will
not break him in, i suppose the best for him will be
a loan on January for some other team where he will play. He will not recover
his place in the NT if he does not play.
What a waste!
Those are just
my personal thoughts, nothing more
Here is a link
you can publish for a very good thread about him, bringing practically all the
available information and also the pictures and highlights of the reserve games
he participated in, as well as the Toulouse game and other material.
The link:
http://www.xtratime.org/forum/showthread.php?t=215378
I invite you to
look at this thread and you are welcome to use any material , videos, pictures
etc. As I wrote most of the posts in that thread I will only be too happy that
more people see it.
I did not
recommend the blogs I talked about because they are all in Portuguese!
Anyhow I can
recommend the trailer of the chapter dedicated to Lucas in the TV series
Tituars (3 videos from You Tube), where you can see a lot about him - a rare
look inside his house there where he lived with his girlfriend and 2 dogs.. and
many biographical details, also what Ronaldinho Gaucho says about him and much
more…
The links:

Part 2

Part 3

Don’t think that
it’s a gossip celebrity program, it is a football program showing many football
moments, any other material is just to understand the background of the player,
understand him better.
It is very rare
material because he never talks about his private life and does not appear in
trendy places. Outside the pitch he is just a simple kid, on the pitch he is an
energy bomb! At 20 years he was already a charismatic leader.
The last link:
the link enabling everybody who wants it to write a message to Lucas, I hope he
receive many letters in order to support him in this difficult moment,
does he knows about your site? my humble opinion is that he should and he will
even like it, even being the shy kid that he is.

I hope you find
my e mail interesting

Dear lucasleiva.co.uk
I do not like
to write about myself, i am just a woman that is
interested in football , especially in Brazilian
football. I write usually about the Brazilian League, called brasileirao ,
which is not known and underrated by many Europeans. I find that league
fascinating, complicated, very competitive, but it is a long story to tell
here. I do not use to participate in English forums' they use too many 4
letters words' and finding out i am a woman make some
tasteless sexist remarks, i am not a youngster, and I
feel very seriously about football , and the private things i
discuss with my friends and family. If you read my posts in the Xtratime forum you will be able to get some impression (and
see my typing errors - it is because I think faster than I type!)
In Israel
people looks at me as an authority in Brazilian football and i am the only one who really follow that league and inform
my ittle but quality audience, bringing link from the
Brazilian sites (highlights and goals, etc) The teams I like are Cruzeiro and
of course Gremio, Lucas former team, when i found out
about him. His personality' so unlike football players in general and
Brazilians in particular roused my interest, I always liked more the modest,
honest ones, I also have a thread about Rivaldho, a man never wit any
"star-like' modalities who have very hard life form early childhood
through his career. So different from Lucas who are from a
high middle class family, father a dental surgeon etc. He had the
privilege to get a better education of most other people of the trade... the
way he plays football is also not typical Brazilian – he is a man of the
first touch who does not use dribbles unless it is absolutely necessary, he
always pass it exactly where it is needed and also have a very good movement
without the ball to receive it exactly were needed. he
is (or was, when he was playing) very quick, has great vision of the game'
creates, saves lost games.. score goals, marks, but for that we have
Mascherano. He is a very versatile player, you can see
it in the reserves where he unfortunately plays now.
I am a mother
& a grandmother. In the beginning when I began to write about football , people did not take me seriously but today they
respect me - I earned it through sleepless nights when I watched or followed by
radio Brazilian games. My husband is an ex goalkeeper and referee and he advise
me often about problems of arbitrage. Some people envy him for having
a wife who can and wants to talk about football! My youngest daughter once
complained that " I loved Rivaldo
more than her! She knows better now.
There are all
sorts of love. If somebody follows a team & a player for years, he/she has
the impression that this or that player is like a family member - we feel as if
we know him, even without meeting him or talking to him. The internet and
international communication with other fans enables it.
Maybe you
think that what I write about Lucas is too good to be true, I thought so myself at first, but it is fairly true, nobody is perfect,
but he tries hard to be, or maybe he was born that way. his only vice, to my
opinion is that he is too good natured, too honest and trusting, never says a
bad word against anybody, even the ones who deserves it.
Have a good
night/morning (depending when you read this)
Luz
