Lucas Leiva 'left Liverpool in five minutes'

Lazio signed Lucas Leiva from Liverpool last summer to replace Lucas Biglia. The former Liverpool star talked to goal.com to explain why he decided to leave Anfield Road afte a ten-year spell at Anfield Road.

“I had a chance to move to Turkey but I had others offers from Italy as well”, Lucas said

“I had a very strong relationship with Liverpool but it took us five minutes to part ways. It was the right moment to leave and Liverpool understood I needed a new challenge.”

“Lazio have had a good start to the season, we won the Supercup and we’ve done pretty well in Europe as well. It’s still early to have a verdict on my experience here because we are only at the beginning of the season.”

“I adapted well to Italian football although I still need to improve tactically. I want to help Lazio and it would unfair to say that everything is going well because I’ve just arrived. We are all going the right direction.”
